I will be filming the first start up and yes I'll probably host it on my website but that won't be for a short while yet :sad:

Before I can start it I have to buy

Battery
Oil filter
Oil
Fuel line
Fuel pump
Pre filter

Ideally I would also want an expansion tank so I can fully sort the water system before I start it but I can get away with not as long as I don't run it for a long time.

Unfortunatley I'm a bit poor at the minute so it could be longer than I'd hoped ;)

But there's plenty to get on with until then. :grin:

Also having been at Pete's when he started his I can confirm they sound AWESOME!!!! ;)

Yeah I've seen it. I've also been out in an R1 engined mini and stood blipping the throttle in Petes. I can assure you they sound SSSSOOOOOoooooooooo much better in reality!! :grin:

Especially when they pop flames out the exhaust on over-run!!! :saywhat: :grin:

ade, there's a guy on ebay who sells expansion/swirl tanks quite cheap. i bought one a couple weeks back, very well made. usually he has a couple on "buy it now". he can also custom build items.
