That's "Baaaahhhaa" numb nuts 
Not long studding it, but judging how Ian's Reyland drove with 450, I'm happy with sticking on a good reliable 380bhp on light blues. Should be manic enough, these cars are bad enough at 330 with no weight over the back end But it'll compromise a perfect every day car and track toy.
But at least theres scope to move to greys etc. etc.

Yup, red lining from roughly 100miles onwards. If it can't handle it now, it never will And none of this gay bling shit Nah, usual running in to 1k miles on mineral oil, gradually giving short burst the more miles I pick up

Came across a few problems which really made it look like I have the worst luck on the planet! But as it goes, over the last 2 days....
Started with cleaning the bay.
Proper engine mounts instead of those crap one's before.
Group A Coil.
In in goes and plumbed up.
And the result of 2k miles on a these engine mounts by a certain company

Al , looking at the engine bay pics , i think the reason why the wiper linkage is fouling on number 4 plug lead is that your engine is possibly sitting a bit too far back. IMO of course?!

Ah I see what he meant now. No there's nothing unfortunately that can be done on the linkage itself. No more room to raise the linkage above the lead and the arm that connects with the lead has been skimmed to an inch of its life and still touches. So a shorter lead will be needed.
Shame they don't do the motorsport lead in a shorter version
