It runs an electomotve setup, as was run in the swift DB4.
The good thing about having this part finished is that Warwick (revhead) can stop charging my credit card!!!! :lol:

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

I used to know, but I can't remember...

Why do the tappet covers have that rise in them?

It's been eating me inside from when I first saw it.

I'll be kicking myself when I find out.
