well done mate grate 2 see u have got it back on the road

joe u rock!

Tis great to see this back on the road Joe matey, it's been FAR too long since we have had the pleasure of seeing it at a meet, must be a good 18 months or more now!!

Wooooo im made up for you and I bet you're well chuffed, give yeself a pat on the back fella, you have done an excellent job and I bet the experience will prove invaluable in the future...

PS. Can you feel any performance increase from the uprated head as yet, or have you not tried??

Nice one joe, good things come to those who wait
Great job

Cheers



I've only noticed a very slight improvement in the performance with the new head and high performance cam, but it's been that long since I drove it last, I forgot how it used to be.

I will be getting it rolling roaded as soon as I have the money though and hope to see a bit of a gain.

Like I said, the work hasn't even started on it yet.

I've got a couple of videos just from testing the front camera yesterday:

Im impressed, that looks really well mate, you've done a really, really good job.

Finally got the text alert wired up and working. Trying to register the SIM with Orange was a Grrr of a job.

I'm going to wire up the output from the text unit to the input of the video recorder.

The text unit has its own motion sensor built into it aswell so if the alarm fails or the input to the text unit fails, it will detect motion itself.

Lost my indicator on a long country lane at the weekend, so for now, I have the old indicator lens in and a fast left hand indicator.

I managed to take apart the new headlights, so I'm trying to get them working and see if I can turn things round or swap the lenses to get the kick off to the left instead of the right.

if u dont get the lights done mate, i got a catalogue u can have from where i got mine. they do them for yours in chrome or dark..

glad to hear you have finished, you have got the whole summer now to enjoy it. well done joe

Painted the rear bumper valance yesterday, so it looks a bit better at the back now.

Also finished making the switch plate and painted it to match the interior trim. Just got to wire the switches and mark them up.
