Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!

You need a light weight flywheel, will rev much quicker:) PITA to set off though

Needed some battery cable. Local auto electrical place wanted me to arm a 3rd world country for 3m of cable so used the cable from my heavy duty jump leads ha. Will buy some more later clamps where getting tired. Still tidying wiring...being open top needs waterproofing. Gotta wait for my mate to get up from nights having issues with pass infill panel. Hes a sheet metal worker...needs some more alloy sheet.

Lunchtime update. Power connections all finished at fuse box 2 lugs wont fit on positive terminal so had some fun and games ....all good my mates on his way in an hour so hopefully will make a template and he can go and cut me a piece to slot in. its a mare so prob 2 pieces.
No photos same old junk! lots of finishing and tidying want the car ready before the fun of putting ancillaries onto engine and installing. This is the boring bit, hoovering up swarf and degreasing, killing time on little jobs really till i get this panel in.
