Engine re-build...the joy!

See it now ..............That's not an exhaust ,its a pipe
Blowing a gale here too

too right must have took all of 15 minute to fabricate

About 10 to weld (inc. the lambda boss).....but I gave it to a friend to do and he forgot to tell me he had finished it until last night! the pipes to make it cost £30.....and I bought a decibel insert just in case its a bit too loud for noise testing!

In keeping with the intake filter then .............

No they are both real items!!!! I have a genuine cone air intake filter and the decibel insert is a Jetex item...none of your Stunned Monkey DIY here thankyou!!!

Its all back together.....am going to get my old ECU program loaded up tomorrow...so hopefully just hopefully!!!!! Had a bit of a watery scare when I filled it up.....water leaking from the back of the engine where the pump is...thankfully it was only a reachable clip that needed tightening. Phew!

do you race with the decibel insert fitted?

I dont know yet! I bought it 'just in case' because it was a tenner and I'd already paid the postage.
Ideally I wont need it (I can go up to 108db at some courses, although some have 105db) but if I do it will be on for noise testing then it might just disappear in suspicious circumstances for the afternoon runs!!!!
I dont suppose it will rob me of a great deal in all honesty.

just as a wee warning...........

we are db tested straight after our runs!

They have only ever tested once at the start of practice at the 50+ events Ive been to in my time.....if at all!!(some Scottish events in the middle of nowhere dont even bother )

At Lydden in Kent, they test you on the track exit after your practice, but only if you have a load car.

It runs!!!!! Not saying anything yet, but I will hopefully be picking it up this afternoon!

Take it easy on the way back
