Its a pretty easy job geting all the bits like throttle cable / brake pipes / water pipes etc is taking just as long as the job its self.
I got the throttle pedal / cable sorted out today its getting 100% of the throttle so thats 200bhp

I got my hillclimb special petrol tank yesterday and managed to get it all plumbed in so I thought it was time to try and get it fired up.
After a bit of messing around and having to go 50 miles round trip for the key > It fired into life
No water yet so I cant rev it hard but early next week it will leave the garage in gear.

Heres the latest update I have finished my airbox and induction system and am well pleased with the outcome loads of forced fresh air.


Also here is a pick of my small race fuel tank which made it easy to run mu air intake and was easy plumbed in.

we are now ceramic coating exhausts as the wraps a bit of a bugger to keep on through a full seasons racing
i re wrapped mine 3 times last year
the coating is 3 times more money but shouldnt need any maintainance
i will keep you posted on how it goes
you can only fit to new exhaust though which is a bit of a nuisance

Motorsport-grade ceramic coating works the trick!

I had my first run (on our drive) yesterday our drive is a bit short for a 140mph mini (about 150 meteres) but it gets of its mark pretty well.
I cant wait to get it on track it feels awsome.
