Well 2 months of inactivity for personal reasons are over & its full steam ahead on getting the engine to the Dyno.
A revised engine Spec will be used, but lets see how it works before talking about it.
Yesterday the wrc 8 injector inlet was returned, drilled for the Nitrous, apparently this is no longer cheating . With the exception of the plenum spacer (on Cossie Rich's car) all parts are now completed & the engine should, no lets make that will, be built next week.
Have had contact with Topgear mag & they are comming along to see what happens & I hope this will lead to more exciting things next year.
Not sure if 'on the spot' Chip highlights will be allowed this time, we shall see.
Fingers crossed topgear mag dont mind the figures being published ahead of their article, but I suppose you have to respect it if they do make that decision.
The Dyno session has been set for friday 28th November to give Top Gear as much notice as possible. Forget it being built this week, that was me being optimistic. Two parts have still not arrived, one thats gone back for changes. Mark went on one of his Rambles again today & wants to change things at this late stage, I will let him make the enquiry & then may reach a deal on something a bit different & certainly new to me. Want to get this right so best wait untill the facts are known.

Rod
Do you anticipate this engine will be the one that produces over 800bhp off Gas now then Rod!?
Okay, worth a try, as Rodney said he wouldn't have a problem with it .
Best of luck and hope that this time you have already broken all the "eggs", and that the "omlette" is now ready to be cooked to perfection .
Why dont you come along and offer moral support on the day then Mike.
Im sure Simon will also be happy to show you how above board his Dyno is too, it should all be pretty familiar to you anywhay with it being the same as Harveys one
ps, i already have the 28th booked off, can anyone come along? my little boy will be one year and two days old then, and i dont think hes ever seen an engine dyno so he might be interested in having a look
Mark has a shortlist of people who he doent want to attend :
Bin Laden, Hitler, Russell Brand & Harvey as you can see your not on that list .
They all have one thing in common. .
Umm yeah i dont have a clue wat ya on about
please tell me lool

however hard it may be to beleive for the MAD "camp"
he is very interested and would love to come along ..
its not as if hes gonna attend and strip the engine to find out all the trick secrets
If rod wants you there, im happy to fetch you from a train station and drop you back, and we've spent ages chatting at combe etc when you were there with Mike so hopefully you wouldnt feel like you didnt know anyone if Im there.
