Ryan1200 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Cheers mate. Was working on it every day from about mid October to Xmas but the motors has been a long process maybe 2 years we used lots of non off the shelf bits which took awhile to complete and I wasn't in a hurry because the car wasn't done anyway. Hopefully around 2months fingers crossed ready for tuning.

I am newish to all of this and think you blokes have great patients, I am struggling to handle 4 months of being treated like a mushroom ,lol Guess when you are hands on it is more personal and interesting and time just gets eaten up.
