and your making good progress but do you really think you can get all that done in such a short space of time? ill be really impressed if you do not wishing it to take longer it just usually when you come to finnish it it takes longer for the final bits to fit on etc.

its noisy, but its bloody quick! I've only taken it up to 3500rpm, out of a potential of maybe 7.5-8k.
Its using a bit more fuel than i'd like, i'm keeping the revs up higher to avoiding bogging the engine down in high gears.
Quite noisy inside, the majority of the noise from the s/c drops I reckon, but overall its great.
Will be an earplugs type car though I think
I'm very annoyed because the fuel cap is leaking, and the fuel has taken quite a bit of the paint off underneath the fuel filler, thats annoying, but it doesn't stop it driving so it will make it to Germany, and to MITP this weekend fingers crossed.
I've got to lower the suspension in a minute as its very high, but it does make doing my 50 mile oil change easier :grin: off to do that now.
Overall, I'm well chuffed!!
