Cool little project. No bollocks or faff, just straight to the point.
I live in Leamington half of the time so am also willing to help out if needs be.
Keep up the good work.

Me and Rich spent a couple of hours this morning getting it back up to speed
Made a breather mod plate at work so fitted that as we were suffering with a puff of smoke once out of the bends
I managed to buy some xe rods with arp's in for £10 so swapped the bolts over, Rich drilled the caps out to prevent them not sitting correctly, with that done we re fitted the windage plate and pick up pipe, put a good smear of RTV sealant on as we had a bad leak at the end of the last track day, I also made a baffled sump as we don't want to be killing the engine by starving it of oil 
List of things still to do are:
*Put filter and oil in it
*Mount the inner harness eyelets to tunnel as bolts on seat look fucked so will be easier to just drill and bolt them through the tunnel with a backing plate
*Fit new hose in fuel tank as Jonboy had to nick it for Rich's car when he popped down on a mapping run
That's it really, hoping we won't be relying on it for Combe on the 8th but it's better to have it ready just in case
