Hi lads, well I had the car on the rollers today. It all started good then the trigger wheel came off but it was ok as we got it back in and some spot welds to stop it coming off again. But the timing is out a lot now I ended up with 112bhp which I don’t think is not bad at all so I go tomorrow to Newquay .

well it's been a busy week. After the, what I thought was a small, electrical fire, I decided on Saturday to remove the loom and see if I could patch it up. After sitting for about 4hrs carefully unbraiding the loom with a razor blade I found that the sidelight wire had burned all the way from the front to the switch and toasted a few other wires as well. At that stage it turned into a much bigger job than first thought. So, as a jobs worth doing and all that (well i think i have OCD), and a big order from Vehicle Wiring Products Ltd, I decided to start it again and incorporate the megajolt and move a lot of the relays, and the edis to inside the dash. While I was at it I got a bit fuse happy and made a new passenger dash with more fuses. I am pleased with the end result as I have managed to reroute the cables at the front making the engine bay a lot tidier. Looks like i will be going to L2b now i will be on the mini mag stand come and say hi.
I will Let the pictures do the talking as they say.
