Great stuff Darren,you must be well chuffed.
Didn't realise you were using filters. Are they the ones from Tech 9?

Re: Mongrel Street Racer
Thanks guys
Cheers,
I have two sets of stacks Dougie and will leave the HB's open on occasions however this car will be doing a fair few miles so figured it safer with filters, these are direct from ITG.brembo wrote:Didn't realise you were using filters. Are they the ones from Tech 9?

Basic geo tomorrow, MOT Monday, lengthen the megaphones, fit a proper steering wheel and I guess that's about it!
Thanks for looking

Thanks every one for all the support and kind words......hopefully I'll be able to rack up a few miles this week and sort a first service in anticipation of a proper drive the following week.....I'll then post what it sounds like when reaching those high notes!
Cheers,
Darren

Re: Mongrel Street Racer
A landmark occasion Darren - congratulations !
I'll bet it's a stunning sight (& sound) out on the road - look forward to seeing it at close quarters once it's fully run in & set up.

Thanks once again guys......hoping I'm not getting ahead of myself in my excitement, still a little tweaking to do before it's road ready and all sorts of things can go wrong after a full rebuild. Fingers crossed!
Cheers,
