Best of luck and thanks for the update.

I may be sorting out some time at Bruntingthorpe for testing if that is of any interest.

I have two seperate people trying to sort out some dates but it will certainly be later in the season Mark. As soon as I have any confirmed information I will post it in the events section.

all seems good so far but oil pressure has dropped to 2.0 bar at idle when usually al 4 with tomei oil pump ,,,worries me
dyno will kill or cure

Any ideas why this may have happened Mark? I know your knowledge far outweighs mine on engines, but why risk it for the sake of dyno'ing the car on Wednesday?
