On Thursday the following were fitted
4-1 manifold
short shift and steel gear linkages with uprated fork bush.
alloy crank pulley
Oil and filter change

I can say without any hesitation the car feels so much better now on the gear change and also the manifold has really opened it up from 3.5k onwards it certainly pulls harder.

I have the car booked in for a set of Avon zv7 tyres also and really can't wait get the stainless system on there next Friday afternoon.

I've also bought a spare cylinder head that I'll be sending to Al developments and then complimenting that with a pair of Newman ph2 cams and a custom remap of the oe ecu at GT Motorsport.
