First. Thats not my car. Thats somebody elses who had the same idea and had the money to do it. Second. Mine will be better than that. Much more better. Third. I saw a Mclaren MP4-12C for the first time today. Happy me.

So, I almost had to sell it and managed to secure an extra week. Now Its running, tomorrow I'm bolting the lights, doors and seatbelts in, windshield if theres time. Today I redid the fuel lines from tank to carb, got the carb to work as a carb and not as a paperweight and bought some nice toggle switches to wire my lights to. Scared a kid when I fired it up. (I forgot that I only had headers for exhaust), bolted the exhaust back in, marginally quiter. My exhaust is only like 2% effective. But, after a 8 1/2 half month period of riding my bicycle and having very little progress. I finally got it. Fingers crossed shes back on the road in the next two weeks. Then soon after the Jurassic Park Jeep Livery/other stuff conversion begins!!!!

We have run in our race motors with no headers before. shoot 30cm flames out of either side of the head....looks good but knackers your eardrums

I feel like I'm an outcast for using the later 70's FI motors...

Not an outcast. We just don't like you or want to socialize with you but I promise is not being outcast. :P, actually, how well do those work?
