....After having my car stripped out for a while i decided that it was time to revert back to the trimmed interior and sub etc..... oh hang on.... thats a lie!!!
been off the road a while and here are a few pictures of the little "red rooster" and a little discription
Looking tired on the outside
But why is the battery in the boot?
Maybe this will help you work out why
If not then this will
1 set of taper's from jenvey
engine spec is exciting but i will not reveal all as its not run in yet, limited to 4,000rpm for a few more miles then up to 6,000.
I's like to take this opertunity to say thanks to Jamie and the boys at JAMsport for all their hard work, included the last two night where i was with them till 2.30am (well last night anyway) working to try and finish it, only to be hindered by a failed starter motor.... but today its running and it feels so much stronger than the old engine, can't wait to get it reving to 8,500rpm....woooo sounds incredible!
I'd also like to say thanks to Robin Marriot for letting me use his car at trax when i was without mine, and general lifts etc expecially last night, also I'd like to thank teddy for the lifts and stuff too! top stuff! anyway, be nice to hear what you have to say.... fire away 
P.S. not to keen on the Pipercross air box... its a bit fragile....
