Wow that revs like a bike!!

Does it have an exhaust on it? What's the rod ratio on that motor Tony?

back again.... one of my neighbors commented that she heard it that day and thought it was a bike revving at first.
Got it going again tonday, but too late to do anything cause the people were getting home from work (I live in a block of flats). Lets see what tomorrow brings.... synch carbs, move car and clean garage.... wont drive her just yet, brakes still not ok

Wednesday saw the death and destruction of a elec ignition kit for my 009... so replaced it with a faulty kombi ign setup.

Then pulled the car out and cleaned the garage.... nothing else achieved yet.

Unfortunately nothing else happened to the car.

While I was home the weather was just way too hot to work on the car. Doing the brakes in 42degC sun isnt my idea of fun.

Unfortunately I have had to get back to work, so I'll only have a chance to do some more work to it in August. Even then tho, the amount of work I have planned probably wont allow me to have it on the road then either... Lets see how things work out.

Project manager and project engineer is the same person.

I am hoping to have things change next year leave wise... or lets put it this way, I will have more leave next year, paid or unpaid. There are a few things I need to do and I need time for it all.
A few items have been outsourced... pics and info when I have more. But for this again, I need time.
