Default My Sapph, finally back on the road!!
Went for a quick run out tonight (first time in 20 months lol) so thought i'd take a few pics, pleased to say it drives much better than i remember, mainly due to changing to centre push hydraulic clutch, sooo much better!!! I want to put a few miles on the new engine before getting it mapped, not the best pics but it was just so good to finally drive it again!!

It was, even though i've not given it more than half throttle or revved it much past 5k it's really lively, can't wait for it to be full mapped.

Really well, not that laggy really, according to my secs monitor it's only peaked at 19psi so far but it just spins the wheels in first and second and then grips in 3rd, and pulls really well, like i say, i've only given it half throttle and not revved it past about 5 to 5.5k, just trying to put some miles on the engine before i have it mapped, and to iron out any niggly problems. The engine is really quiet, although the whole car is louder, partly because the fuel pump's in the boot lol.
