Give us an update guys...

I've finally got my clutch and flywheel sorted out... gone for a std, but very much lightened flywheel, with a rally plate and grey (but not yet got Dave's machineing trick done on it...).

Soon as thats in, I have a trackday at Haynes (with Minifinity) on June 19th, which is my test day before Avon park!!!

How are your cars shaping up?

Turbo will be back from re-conditioners very soon, sticking with my old RST S2 intercooler, fuelling problem known, and work has started to fix - just waiting for some new fuel line to arrive.
Hi-lift valve springs will allow the use of 1.5 rockers, and will be here Monday.
Next week is going to be busy! Aiming to be at York for Shakedown on the 20th June!
