They are in a huge garage with expert help and a lift. Most of us are rolling about on the floor in a tiny garage struggling on our own haha

I was a little stumped theyve already finished it.. I was exepectin something to go tits up again. Ah well, a shame we didn't see moog fiddling about with a cast on his hand, that'd make for a good episode. Sounds good too, but I feel like they cheated in letting their mechanic finish it off

Yeah they seemed to rush it a bit.  Probably because of where they were doing it and it was a plane ride away from home.  If they did it in their own shed it would have gone on for 10 episodes.

I'm surprised they didn't go for an internal gear linkage setup. But looked good though

must admit that I'm a bit disappointed they've vteced it! The a series had so much more potential especially as it was all set up for e85! Huge amount of shell chopping as well on what looked like such a tiny car!

In one of the videos he talks about wanting reliability and I got the impression the supercharger didn't quite live up to expectations

I fully agree! But Never say this on facebook, as you'll soon have 100's of fans over you..

They talk about the e85 in one of the videos, the problem is the tank is small, and there aren't many places to fill the tank in australia...

Isn't the tank going to appear even smaller if you're pushing hard on the pedal of a 1.6 vtec?
