Well, not too much on the update front. I spoke to the guys last week and they were expecting the block back end of last week, to being Engine assembly and prep, then to hit the dyno towards the end of this week for the engine to be 'run in' and some power runs.

However, a few bits and bobs to be added to the car when it finally comes my way, mainly bling items, I guess..

Spoon HT leads.

I hope you're going to box all those goodies back up and wait until Christmas :D

Glad the engine is nearly all sorted :)
 
I certainly am, my Xmas Pressies for my car, so be quiet about it please, don't want her to find out haha :p

Nearly, but not quite, Seriously hoping its done for 30th. Crossing my fingers.. and trying to cross my toes ha.
 
very very nice build, great selection of parts etc. not sure on your power figures though, as said your calculations from wheel to fly seem quite out. great 9 though

Well, they were completly different dyno's.

First dyno said 245bhp at the crank bear in mind it had a Mugen twinloop on at the time (now has a 70mm, skunk2 system).

Second, newer dyno read, 190 whp. Knowing the twinloop is a very restrictive system for a Standard b16b let alone a b20 setup, one can only assume it has gained more - however I put less.

but thanks anyway.

Wow, took me a while to find my own build thread haha. Was on page 4 lol! I guess it's been a while since I last updated so here goes!

Could well be getting the car back next week if the run in, power runs and final tuning goes as plan.

Some pictures with new seats in.
