Well done for getting it sorted at last ad! And my god, we can see the Garage floor now!
I just gotta save up and get mine back into AB to get the cam and head fitted, and the whole lot set up again. I can see bigger jets coming on again too...coz it'll want more fuel.
I cant wait to go out into wales wit jim and mark in a 4 car stomping convoy! Soon enough.

you genuinely(spl) wont find a better rolling road in north wales/north west imo!
andy/ade are awesome with mapping, tuning etc. should see some of the mental grassers, quads, rally cars etc they get, looks like a dodgy garage, but fook me if they can help you out they will.
what you think to their nova? makes something like 107bhp at 8.5k from a 1.4

didn't see the nova, if the engine proves reliable, i reckon, if i arp the bottom end, and get a lumenition system, raise the limit a bit, it'll be over 100bhp.
but atm, i have worked out that i have no money. none. well a minus of a few hundred. so anything else wil have to wait.
will probably sort the handbrake and the other advisary today,

yea, the last time i went down there to have a word about the engine after they set my carbs up and the power was down, they had a dune buggy with an XE in the back running a set of bike carbs. looked a bit of a monster!
They always have interesting stuff...and they really know what they are doing! When we dropped adam's car off the other day, they were going to be changing the engine in a boat.
They are cool guys...and always so helpful too...i've never known a place like it!

i end up using thier lathe when shimming head for solid lifters and skimming heads there. £20 in their pocket for me doing the work and its convinient for me too, rather than having to wait.
it wont be a buggy. its a special for the autograss, the bike powered ones are mental quick

will sound better, when the centre section/manifold isn't touching the chasis,
it gets warm, system expands a bit, hey presto lots of vibration noise

exhaust is sorted, had the tracking done, handles much better now, and exhaust isn't on the chasis anymore.

todays fun and games.
fitted the doors from w-l and took the red oens off. i like it better.
i have black mirrors, and white mirrors. unsure on what to fit.
then i took the boot off.
and have made a start fitting the fibre boot. and poly window.
didnt finish the boot due to it being too windy to paint. hopefully itll be done tomorow, and the side windows will be done too.
