Innovate LM2 wideband kit to enable us to check AFR when we do the initial engine mapping before it goes to either JKM in Portsmouth http://www.jkm.org.uk/performance/index.htm who are currently doing Luke's mental Fiesta or its back to trusty MSD in Blackpool http://www.motorsport-developments.co.uk/ but not sure if Will can fit in it

Also got a 5 bar map sensor from Matt Lewis Motorsport so it can be mapped properly past 30psi

The plan is to collect it from Danny's the first weekend i'm free in March, then dummy build it in 8 weeks so i can strip it back to a shell, so it can be painted whilst i'm away again from May to early August.

So hopefully it will be ready for National Day 2009 for its first track outing
