Glad you got the PAS sorted mate its better than the belt pump by far. if your just fitting longer trumpets you don't really need it re-mapped I only had mine done as I was fitting bigger cycle injectors/fuelling sorted out as well as a few other bits done, but still I'm happy with 210 (@8,000rpm) but i had them put the limiter back down to 7.5k as its still on hydro lifters, at the end of the day I have no need to take it that hi. it was done at a very reputable place so I'm happy that the figures werent made to look better than they are like some places do. I hope yours turns out even better as it would complement all the hard work you've done over the years.
And congratulations on the news mate.

Reading the Dave Walker stories on the Emerald website it says only the big throttle opening load sites need mapping. It makes sense really because if more air is going into the engine the mapping needs changing to suit it.

It's not a massive change mate its only gaining some lower down torque, I drove it back from Northampron to bham drove it for 2weeks then when back down to get it mapped when I got paid and it didn't run any different apart from the fact it had more of a kick lower down and pulled better, I was just sort of giving you the heads up that you don't need to rush out and get it mapped ASAP as its no biggie

You are right about the steering with the electric pump. It's a bit lighter which is a good thing definately. Started the car up and drove it out of the garage for the first time in 3 months.

Out of interest Edward, have you ever had it professionally cleaned?

Nope. Most professionals in my experience don't do the word justice. It will have swirls but nothing serious as it's never been near car washes or brushes etc.

How's this coming along at the moment? Any changes lately? Or has all efforts been on the offspring that's soon to arrive?

I've just added the bonnet catch but without the locking mechanism to catch the bonnet it the pins failed for some reason.
No point in spending the £450 for a radiator when it's not going to be driven until next year. It still gets started up and run for a short distance every few weeks though...

I don't see the car very often so I forget how clean it really is...
Also decided to take the cam cover off to see what's going on in there. Not much room for cams of a higher lift.

Used on the road? 200 miles last year! Junior No.2 is due in the next couple of weeks so my time wont be spent on the car. Maybe towards the end of the year I'll order the radiator but that's about it.
