Getting there...

At last I've driven it properly, even if that is just up and down the drive! Anyway thats using all the pedals and proper controls.

Had it running up to temperature today for the first after putting the coolant in last night.

Anyone want to come round and give me an experienced look see for SVA things?

I got 3 wheels on my wagon... see the pics in my blog!

I'll stick a vid up when I can.. at the moment keeps snowing and hail stoning and I do have to shift a fair bit of sh1te to get it out of the garage!

Next stage is to finish the airbox and get the cold air forced induction taking air from the front. Should be fun!

Snap! Was thinking exactly the same. I'm hoping to use a zx12 engine, i think that gets another 10 horses from forced air. These cars may end up more than a little alike - i'll stick go-faster-stripes on mine so we don't end up taking the wrong car home if we end up at the same meet...

Very nice build!
It's a good feeling driving them, even though just up and down the drive.
Having no reverse, the wife would not push me back for another go. She used the excuse that she was pregnant! Whats that all about! Ha!
