    The sfi box over power cap is a long running testing thing. Chassis legs take a beating if you jack the car up alot, i use a bit of wood covered in a bit of jumper after making mine better.

    Good work wit the cams.

    Get it on the rollers to make sure the cams are doing what they should be and also take the SFi for a 'like for like' comparison with the power cap.

    When are you replacing my spare cam shaft seals you thief? and no I don't want cheap motorfactor ones I want Elring

    Wing mirrors have been black for ages.

    Yeah I jack the car up but usually a little further forward than that where it meets the other leg piece. Not sure how thats happened but oh well.

    Rollers would be nice, I'll take it to the next club day. SFI box is a pain to refit though as I need to remove oil cooler, rollcage bar, etc, etc!

    This is without a doubt my favourite WIP, I like how you do everything yourself, and all documented (I've saved a few pics for my own reference!) So are the cams a direct swop for a standard XE, bar the drive slot? Worth doing then? Are they expensive?

    Glad the pics are of use Mazz, figured things like the dizzy chopping would be helpful to people. Those cams were reground using standard XE later model dispac ones, requiring the dizzy modification. I imagine they'd regrind earlier ones if you gave them some tho and they'd fit the dizzy fine.

    I got them second hand, not sure how much Kent charge for the regrinding, if I were to get some done Autosprint look quite reasonably priced, or the QED Q42H's look nice too. According to Kent's site they're mild injection cams so should work fine with the standard ECU.

    I think TJ is referring to the little bits of gold you've added to the mirrors.

    Love the track action, nice save on the 2nd video
