Yeah cheers man, I appreciate it!

My metro diff seems alright at the moment, theres a little bit of slack in it, but seems ok for now, might be a bit long for the poor little 998 to get off the line though.

Im going on Llandow trackday, same as last time (expect pages of pictures and some better video again)

I put something up in the wales section on here, but didnt get much reply, it is quite far out of the way for most people.
Going to head back tonight and give it all a go, I think my hif44 is a bit damaged though, so not sure what im going to do about fueling the 1380, might have to dig out a turbo carb and give one of them a go.

Christ, you're not wrong about it being out the way! That's a four hour trek for me!

Might as well set it all up with a turbo carb from the get go, keep the whole inlet tract consistent :thumbsup:

And a small rust repair, and fill in a few unused holes in the bulkhead. Ready for a splash of paint and a 1380 tomorrow.

Title needs changing back now I spose.



Im going to put the rocker assemble off the 998 on it though, as it's got a horrible top end knock.
Drives fine, drove it back to uni an hour after getting it running, not ragging it obviously as it's not playing ball.

But first impressions of the 266 are good, it pulls well low down.

Not got any pics as I was actualy running around trying to get it done in time.

Edit, playing on my phone and I found one.

Fitted new rockers and its still broken.


The clutch has now stopped working aswell now.


Starting to think the little ends are knackered, or maybe cam bearings.
