Have you managed to sort out what sounds like a sea of problems yet rob?

Lofty, the corrugated sleeves that go over the linkages, did you find a place to get these new? Something i never managed to track down

Those tyres are awesome! Can't wait to see them on the car lofty

Sorry to hear that mate

When it goes for mapping next, I’m hopin for low 300’s

Thanks mate, I hated the look of it with the bonnet up, for the sake of 4 bolts I would rather take it off lol

Thanks mate, I needed a break from the forum bashing

I thought it was about time for an update now that I have stopped sulking with photo****it I'll start off roughly where it ended, Here are a few photos from early edition IMG_7032 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7049 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7048 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7070 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7075 by Jack Gibbs Here is one from players IMG_7174 by Jack Gibbs A few from dubfiction IMG_7208 by Jack Gibbs IMG_3478 by Jack Gibbs IMG_3481 by Jack Gibbs IMG_3438 by Jack Gibbs Some from gravity IMG_7239 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7241 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7291 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7292 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7293 by Jack Gibbs Some from Fitted IMG_7312 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7311 by Jack Gibbs One from fueled society IMG_7320 by Jack Gibbs Few from Rollhard IMG_7331 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7332 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7333 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7334 by Jack Gibbs So, Now the fun really begins after all the shiny pics, On the way to ed38, one of the last show of the year, I overtook a van and lost all boost, no warning lights on the dash. I pulled over to check for obvious signs, and it turns out i can see daylight through my exhaust manifold haha! The pictures are shocking haha IMG_7388 by Jack Gibbs On closer inspection it turns out that it really was knackered, with shear determination i ripped it all to bits, took it to the local town and got it welded and put it all back together drove to the show ndcame home with a trophy! 1st in my class.

IMG_7572 by Jack Gibbs Looking pretty serious! IMG_7618 by Jack Gibbs Some of you who might have noticed, the wiring on the right hand side of the engine was a bit too short, so its been chopped now and 8 inches put into it IMG_7619 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7621 by Jack Gibbs IMG_7622 by Jack Gibbs And that is basically everything upto date! Looking to get a new tip made up then the engine can go back in, I love this one from darkside but it will be a one off IMG_7637 by Jack Gibbs
