700 miles up today
should hit 1000 soon then its in with the megasquirt.
i must say i'd love to see the power from yours as its meant to yield about 20-25hp more than the BK route and am so happy with how mine has urned out power wise - she's hitting 60 in second with the long diff and in no time at all - an absolute pleasure to drive, hope you enjoy yours as much - by the looks of the spec i am most certain you will!

Saw Oz's car yesterday. Looks awesome on the road being driven with it's black Azev'z. Goes rounds bend quite fast aswell even with it's ride height which I have to admit looks quite good.

I was driving behind and the noise this car makes is really really nice. Engine feels super responsive too (only revved it gently while standing).

Ant has done a very nice job on this, looking forward to what Oz thinks once it's run in.

Re the TOTAL SEAL RINGS , , i think there bril
i used set many years ago on a x flow set up for NOS , after build a compression test was 190 psi , after approx 1000 miles went up to 230 psi , after approx 5k miles it was steady at 260 psi , bril , on m3d
but ihad a problem the starter motor was ok cold but heat soak when fully run it and the starter could nt turn it
i had to machine the ring lands slightlt wider to fit them , do the do a set that fitts a std pistion ring width or is it still machine them ANT ?, ctm ilford still supply them ?

She's done 381 miles now, man this thing moves :D
only trouble is i can go over 4000rpm :( but up till then it feels really strong then it feel as if it really want to take off but i have to change gear.

Feels as if its getting quicker as the miles rack up, plenty of driving this week me thinks :D

She drives lovely dude, loads more torque low down which is what i wanted and very grunty but the top end is still unknown as i cant go over 4000 rpm just yet.
I took Simon out for a spin yesterday and he seemed impressed.

It should be a beast once run in, gear change is sweet now too as we changed the offending worn items and Ant fitted a new clutch.

Next up will be getting the wing and front spoiler sorted, welding and 60mm drop and its pretty much job done.

Big thanks to Ant for all his hard work and dropping her up to me on saturday, nice one dude :thumb:

time to stretch the rpms a little then M8

4K becomes 4.5K then @ 1000miles you can start to explore higher

no sustained high load/rpm til 2K though OK

Milage 920 and got the nod tonight from Ant to hoon the arse out of it!
What can i say, this thing is fooking SAVAGE, it really comes alive after 4000rpm and hits the redline in no time time.

Its as quick as id wanted and then some, plus it rev as well as my old high comp lump if not better, very very pleased with the performace.
:D

I cant recomend Ant from A techs services enough.

Maximum respect to you Ant, i am a happy man!
