Sounds like a top day out nick

 Racing was great on saturday , CNC heads , some classic FF2000 , then some Mygales and the like

The only upside to living where i do is its 25 mins from Oulton

good that there is plenty of light and space in that barn now then, and its conveniently next to the tools container, unlike the upper barn!

F*cking thread invaders!

It's run, it's been driven, it's much keener than it was on Digi2.

Still got a long way to go before April 19th.

I'll be back with some photos in due course, but to get it up together and running we've done the following:

Fabricate battery mount and bolt to rear seat base
Re-route car power (note to Danny and self, I think we can lose that wire to the dash from the battery - there's a spare in the lighting loom I'd forgotten about - DOH!)
Remove and refit dashboard, stalks and wheel etc to faciliate access to loom etc
Remove brake servo, fit new lighting loom as the old one was a bit crisy in places
Refit engine loom (for dash, fans, wipers etc) but re-routed through heater box and out passenger-side of car, to avoid the annoying brake-servo issues for that loom
Refit brake servo and re-bleed brakes (new brake fluid - YAY!)
Refit dashboard
Fabricate new throttle cable stop on intake manifold (ABF body is different to the 2E throttlebody)
Find an appropriate intake hose, due to above
Set up pipework and catch-tank (ok, it's a plastic bottle) for the engine breather, due to above

Still to do:

Source ABF airbox
Resolve MS-Wideband box interface problem - MS only sees down to stochiometric - no bloody good
Get it mapped up
