exhaust was hitting the rollers so had to modify that with a BIG bar to get it to fit on rollers ok.

TPS switch decided to pack in and alternator not charging!!!! :?

Both these things ok yesterday.

TPS switch was the kill factor, engine was all over the place with afr's, timing, glowing manifold!!!!

Heve sorted the exhaust, waiting on a TPS switch and looks like battery kill switch is the alternator problem.Nothing major i know but its always a kick in the b***s.

Work, work, and more work !!

The Orange should be getting new transmission, brakes and a few tweaks at Bobs any day now, in time for a track test a week or two before EDC at Donington on April 5/6th.

Porsche still hasnt sold, bought a Bemer estate and looking at other options for the future, but mainly just trying to keep all my customers happy !!

I might make it to the next BP meet so maybe we'll have a catch up there pal,
