billet take off block looks nice Jim (as does the rest of the build obviously)... good to see your getting stuff done and not just spending your time getting whooped on the xbox


also, after having done my fuel system in goodridge fittings (17 or 18 of them) that ALS setup must be a bloody expensive way to overcome that laggy old T4 hahahahahahaha





super trick as ever big man... love it!

You got many parts to get or is it just fitting you have to do?

Cool, will have to see what money is about, I'm surprised you went elite, I thought about it but thought again as you will hate it on the road. Be good round the mountains of Wales though

Elite have emailed me with a really good price so as soon as i'm back in the uk i will pop over to the factory to see them

I only do about 4000 road miles a year so no big deal .
