Well, after all the work we have put into this engine, it would be...hmmm... foolish to floor it when you just have made major changes to cam timing altering the dynamic compression a lot, possibly resulting in a couple of burned pistons... that would be short lived fun, kinda like pissing your pants when u freeze to get warm :P

Heeey!

Thanks, it´s your man, Steve McCann from glasgow who did the pictures this time, and I am beyond pleased with both the genuine effort he put into them - and the result

Very happy and look forward to : seeing the feature myself, coming back to europe, getting a job again(!) and getting on to use and dial in the car more!

Will be coming to the UK with it next year, so I guess and hope I get to meet a few of you!

A litle time lapse of new and old stuff, some clips from the time with the YB, so I figured it would be fitting to post it here

Hopefully I can get around to use the car again soon, it´s just sitting still waiting for me to finish up and get a pilot job...
