It will be going on a rolling road to do the mapping.

Why are you using 42mm bodies Paul?
ie any particular reason? Sandy has sold me 45mm jobbies, and I double checked with him to make sure they're right... Did you opt for the CF air horns are standard aluminum ones?

Your engine mods sound mental mate, can't wait to see the finished result. The longman cylinder head, can it be fitted without the need for TB's?

The inlet manifold is 42mm so it makes sense to use bodies of the same size. There's no need to go any bigger. Smaller bodies give better throttle response too. The Jenvey website says 42mm is ideal for up to 56bhp per cylinder.
A 2 litre would be fitted with 45mm carbs and bodies tend to be smaller because they don't have the narrowing that a venturi in the carb has.

Yes it was a great run to Ecosse. Took 4 hours including picking up my hire car in Glasgow. It's the longest drive I've done in the car for a couple of years. Avis gave me a VW Jetta 2.0 TDi 140...I booked a 90bhp Golf 1.6 TDi...

How long will Ecosse have your car for? How does the VW compare to the GTi?

It was booked in for the week. They couldn't promise it would be just a week though. I just hope they have actually ordered all the parts in ready to get on with the job. I paid them enough money up front to buy 90% of the parts required!
The Jetta is a nice car. It's very comfortable, well built with lots of low down punch but ultimately it's a bit boring. It's not supposed to be exciting though but would be a great family car. I want an everyday car so was looking at what they cost these days. I think it looks quite smart with the silver front grille and 17" wheels. What I can't work out is why is has no remote control for the stereo. If a basic 206 can have one why can't a Jetta that costs £18k ish?

Fingers crossed for you Paul regarding Ecosse getting your car sorted in a week as agreed.
I vaguely remember you also buying a Vauxhall Signum a while a go? Have you sold that since?

PANTS! I was there today too. I expect i'd politely be told to "just bolt pal" if i asked how it was getting on etc 
A week would be a pretty quick turnaround!
