      Did my first 100miles today, no real problems, it's smooth and pulls like a train. The difficult bit is not getting carried away when it makes boost from 2000rpm

      The steering feels much better than before thanks to the new rack and damper. The exhaust sounds great and it's not boomy, I can't wait to hear it under full throttle

                Great to hear you've got it all sorted out Andy, car looked great when we were down the other week

                Might have to have another trip down so you can take me for a spin!

                    The stroker is no more, it is an ex-stroker

                    I've not got it in the garage yet, but I'm guessing either the crankshaft or camshaft pulley has let go , resulting in mechanical carnage. Pissed off is an understatement.

                            After driving the car again and feeling the potential the engine has, it's definatley going to be fixed, I just need to get motivated to start pulling it apart again

                            Oh and the slight problem of getting a non-running car up a 45° drive and into the garage

                              I glad your not giving up on it!

                              hehehe maybe taking the head off and then block out then it would be easier to get up there.
