    not much of an update since ive been hunting for a cam pulley, finally got 1 from a company in bristol who has 10

    got it for £15 posted, theres plenty 2.0 8v mk3 cav engines floating about but ive since found mines is from a mk2 cav and has a different pulley than the mk3

    i have all the megajolt wired up, just need to fit the battery and connect up the live and thats ready to go

    fuel pumps fitted to the side of the spare wheel well above the axlewith a hole drilled and grommeted to feed the wires into the car, i used a 20mm piece of rubber inbetween the pump and the chassis to keep the noise down as it seems pretty noisy but thats with no fuel going through it. its a facet solid state fuel pump im using along with a filter king regulator

    when i was fiddling about with the wiring undert the dash today i noticed a bit rust under the carpet on the drivers side beside the sill, my screwdriver when through it

    its right about the outrigger which isnt too good on its own so im gonna cut the old outrigger out and make a new one from some 2mm sheet

    all i can do now is wait on the cam pulley arriving get it fitted torque up the top and bottom pulley bolts

    still on the source for a middle silencer though that aint gonna cost me through the roof

    well seeing as im bored today i took the carpet out the car and ripped the foam crap out as it was absolutely disgusting and full of rusty coloured crap

    dont think ill be putting that back in, i wire wheeled any rusty bit and painted with some white gloss

    just got a bit welding to do on the outriggers as said before

    i also managed to get a stainless silencer made for me from mij exhausts

    well i managed to get a price from mij exhausts who sell on ebay and have thier own website etc

    £62 delivered which im happy about

    it will be 4" round diameter box 24" long and with each end having 2" of pipe, 1 end being 2" and the other 1.75"
