    Lol, nice one Martin. It's not quite finished finished but the fact it's all running is a good start.

    He is on the case with the other bits.

    Well after 2 years ( I think ) the car has finally been driving about ! still a few bits to finish but very minor. Decided to scrap the interface lead for the MBE simply as there are very few benefits of having any ecu realtime data, well that and the fact SBD are a nightmare to deal with so getting the information required about the 967 software is just toooo time consuming.

    Only major niggle, although not exaclty a big issue is that the alternator doesn't appear to be charging, he is looking into that today though.

    I got a ride up the ind est and the gearbox is very smooth, changes gear smoothly, obviously its extremely noisy ! The engine is quite quiet, possibly as the billet cam cover contains the noise of the solid lifters etc, induction noise is ofcourse immense, certainly not looking to be Bedford Autodrome friendly but a air box of some description may quieten that down a touch.

    As usual a few pics now its been outside, hopefully a date for mapping will be sorted soon

    I very much doubt it will pass the soundtest there. We will take his and my Peugeot along there to be tested though as we both like the circuit.
