Default Bit of an update for those interested.

Hi.
Went to Marks yesterday to discuss what my re-build will consist of.
Its over a month since the Block cracked but the start of the F1 season meant the company who will sort the Block, have not yet started.
Have decided to put the engine on the Dyno to see how accurate the Dingy ass dyno is. Marks Targets are 650 pump & an outside chance of 700 on race. Please dont give us shite if we doht quite make these figures, this car has proved how fast it is & I dont need to do this.
Most of the changes will be electronic with addition of SM4 & new CDI allowing Traction control & wheel speed controlled Boost.
Mark will be changing engine Spec as he is always fiddling with these things, ive no idea what he will do cos im only the customer & have no need to Know .
Mark is away on Holiday soon & then im off to Canada for a couple of weeks so this is not going to happen quickly.

Nice one Rod, look forward to seeing it compete again.

Do you anticipate it being ready (i know its a long shot) for TOTB5 ?

The car will not be entered for totb as it holds no interest. It may be ready by that date though not sure.
