To be honest I think it did very little but the heat wrap worked well

I don't know how to make them bigger I just use photobucket on my phone and the automaticly go to that size

Probably cause its on your phone it resizes them smaller. On a computer you select what size to make them when they're uploaded. You might be able to make them all bigger in the settings.

How did the nitrous work out?

[spaceframemini]

All has gone well upto now taking it to York raceway again next weekend, so will test it out again with 50hp of nitrous as i ran out before i could run the bigger jets. then start and build the 16v engine for next year

[spaceframemini]

Fit a small alternator and will be fitting an electric water pump, fan and alloy rad over the next few days

[spaceframemini]

well i got the car back together and have been collecting parts for the car got 2 lsd's so i can build up the gearbox and the ecu. Hopefully the 16v engine will be built for easter along with a few more lightweight parts

[spaceframemini]

Thanks for that jonny Just hoping its ready for next year

[spaceframemini]

Got the engine stripped down today so will keep everyone updated in the new year when I start the 16v conversions

[spaceframemini]

Little bit more progress taking the crank and rods In tomorrow to be lightened and block re drilled

[spaceframemini]

The gearbox is built up quaife dog box and LSD hiding behind the wind age tray. Also changing from the kad twin cylinder brake system to a single wildwood one as it will save a bit of weight
