Had a good weekend on the cup.:)Fitted wheels after giving them a spray.Replaced a leaking oil turbo pipe, got the fuel gauge working, fitted harnesses and even had time to give her a hoover out and stick in a magic tree:laugh:.Now just master cylinder to fit and get her on the dyno.Thanks to jesus for the bits.Top man:agree:

Took the cup out for its test day yesterday.:).Think bod182 (andy) jinxed me:laugh: as the exhaust decided to drop in the middle.looks like a bad join.Didn't notice till i heard it catch the trailer ,at this point i was half on it.After much head scratching we eventually got her on the trailer.:) she drove awesome apart from small oil leak from bottom turbo union.The brakes have got to be looked at next. she pulls to left and something just don't feel right.(master cylinder maybe:sad2:)Also she weighs a healthy 800kgs.
