Hi Lee, did you manage to space out the starter and solid mount ok? If not, will probably need to rubber bush your spacers. Let me know if this is still a problem and I'll
have a look at anything I have that might do it. Back on Sunday.

Spaced it out but no real way of knowing until it is back in and the engine catches .It certainly sounds different when cranking on the bench .
I now have said missing pipe to plumb the bottom hose in so all being well it should be in and running early next week .
CC will need sorting ..
Italian fella has no stock , though he is a listing the fecker buy it now and I did ....waiting on his supplier before he cana shipa the pump ....Dio Gio I think his name is :lol:

It's in for real ,runs well ,chargecooler done ,clutch is OK 8) :D
Had it out for a spin and it feels fine .Time to bed the rings in then off to POD on Friday .It won't be mapped and the turbo is way to small but hope to get some mapping done down the strip :twisted:

If anyone wants to pop along ,it's free to get in and watch or you can run for about £60 ish if you ask nicely :wink:

Lee, once you have broken the rings in to shape nice and snappy, can you get each cylinder compression test numbers for me please.
We can do a proper leak-down test after pod, but would like to know what the balance of the compression numbers is looking like before going :)

Thanks,
Martin
