i'll pm you mate, i agree with macj as soon as mine hits 4.5k thats it its like a turbo kicking in and pins you to the seat below the cam it doesnt feel to bad just like before i had any work done 2bf. Maybe you just need to get used to the 'power band'?

Looks very OEM I must say! Only thing that gives it away is the Longman box and silicon tube to the untrained eye!

Very nice! Any chance of the engine cover going back on? How is the air drawn into the trumpets? Through the origonal air intake, I take it the filter is out of there?

Are you getting a torque steer on acceleration from standstill and trouble stopping it wanting to light up one wheel

That looks absolutely stunning Tedward! As mentioned, that head is crying out for a cover...Ecosse do a nice carbon fibre one which would go with your airbox and would look yummy.

Are you saying you're not happy with the power delivery? I believe Bonson said his TB's really opened up once they got worn in a little.

2bf im with edward on that brian, if i was to do mine again i would go for a charger rather than the tb's.
Also as i said before ed keep an eye on that oil breather pipe as when you open it up it will throw oil out

The bay is looking cracking. Have you taken the engine cover off? Is that not risky?
