fair play 
but ive never driven oulton in over 6 years or so and that was the first time id driven the fiesta hard,i too had a few issues to contend with,but it would have been better if it was a proper race day etc ie not having to pass on the left etc
ps check your rear bumper for orange paint , nearly ran into the back of you going up the hill towards the bridge lol

and I did try to have a play but I knew there was something horribly wrong with the front end, the steering was shaking like the wheel was about to fall off ..

i hope your learning as much as you can about nos, as i said its safe if installed/set up/used right.
top of the shop things to know
(waits for the experts to add/change)
1.activation only above certain rpm 3.5k+ at a guess
2.setup in winter will mean danger in the summer
3.
4.
dam i forgot a lot since i was into it

i dont think he cut the top of another block?? think its just a spacer plate that has been cut 2 fit ontop of a block, then liners though both altering rod angle and increasing cc!
Much like the 3liter skyline lumps by os glicken (spelling)

Kinda a spacer yes..... If you look at picture 2 of the original post, just above the 200 stamp you see a slight ridge. This is where martin cut the top off another 200 block, fitted it to the main block then linered through them both. I dont know the precise reason for this, but as stated above it has an effect on the rod angle, which I believe reduces side loading on the pistons. (if its a standard stroke crank, which i think it is) there may be other reasons and advantages to it, but I dont know them

First off.. The top deck is my spec made from a similar material to billet unobtanium but dearer, not a sectioned block, try it and see what you end up with
Secondly... Not a std stroke, you have missed the point.
