Nice looking scoob. I'm quite curious though about the half of a Kevin Schwantz RGV 500 stuck on your garage wall.

Where'd you get that from?

Okay, update of the weekends activities, things didn't entirely go to plan, got startted late on Saturday after picking up some parcels and getring a puncture fixed on the daily hack :roll: So got to the workshop, and deceided to put my gauges in first as I had plenty of rome to fit the sender etc, so managaed to get them all fitted and connected by battery up to check that they were all working and did the test sweep, they did 8) And have to say they look basically OEM in the dash, a proper good match to the orginal dials, well chuffed, pics to follow!

Then had to shoot off to view a house, so the day was cut short, but I still thought I could get close to having it ready to start Sunday, so after a unplanend lie in :roll: Back to the workshop, and got the last couple of things bolted to the inlet manifold ready to fit it, then got my new gaskets, and low and behold they don't fit :evil: :evil: :evil: After much swearing, I deceded to lag and fit my new downpipe, so got that lagged, put it under the car and that doesn't fit 100%, have to grind away the rear fixing on the car for it to fit, not a happy bunny after paying good money for what was a highly recommended bit of kit, I will be speaking to the supplies about it :!:

Anyway, then it was lunch, I was really hacked off, when the brother inlaw of the mates workshop I am using turns up in his Noble M13 3R 8) 8) 8) We have a chat for while, open the chamshell etc, I am lovin it, (have always liked the Noble) So he takes me out for a spin in it, its so planted and rides remarkably well on the B-roads round East Anglur way :!: And the way it effortly just pulls from nothing it excellent. Muchos impressed all round, I am sure it would be awesome on the Nordschliefe

So, anyway after that I got back to trimming the front bumper for the FMIC, a scary job trying to mark out a striaght line to cut when there are none anyway! But a after a few trims we get there, and I just have to trim a tad more from behind the fog lights for it to clear the piping.

So that was that, so hopefully after getting the right bits this week it should be game on for next weekend!
