Thanks Yohan. I think I'm going to aim for Blyton for it being road worthy and capable of travelling a few miles. I may even see how the wife feels about a booster seat in the front for our 3 year old. He would love it. They don't die, they just get faster! |

I echo everyone sentiments here, I guess deciding to sell is up to the individual as only they know their circimstance best but it would be a shame to get to 99% complete, stop at the last few bits to do and not get to enjoy a season or two of driving it. I have thought of selling mine as between one thing and another I've got nothing out of it the past 2 years and it's ticked me off. A final push to get the last few things done then I'm sure driving it and doing a few shows will show its all worth while.

Olivia loves going out in the mini, probably because she gets to sit up high in the front, although constantly tells me to chase or race the car in front! Its like having Fenton in the passenger seat!

I was going to put "more boost" but couldn't think if I'd ever heard you use it. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Managed to nail this back together over the last few weeks. Took it for test last Saturday and failed on emissions. That was until I pointed out it was still warming up and on the warm-up enrichment map. He tried again and surprise surprise, clean as a whistle.

Looking good! How was the drive, emissions check what's that? 😀 I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Second gear doesn't crunch, the bonnet doesn't self release and it doesn't cut out when you let of the throttle, so the 1/4 mile proved I've hopefully sorted the worst of the niggles.

Get it on the road and use it. Even if you do decide to sell it, you've put a lot of work into it so should get some fun on the road before you do get rid |

Andy, do you have a few other camera angles showing the wheels by any chance? 52 pages takes some trawling, especially with a crap computer. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

i fed boost to my water tank as well so it negates the pressure on the pump.
Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |
