    Well done Simon. Firing her up will be a big day!
    I hope there'll be an opportunity to see the car running next year.

    almost certain, will, need a session on the rolling road to set up the final fuel cam for the injection and then a bit of time in the paint shop to sort out the few bits and bobs plus decals.

    If I would ever buy a 3x8, this is what I’d buy.

    Not yet, had a minor fuel leak to resolve, but we have oil pressure, sparks and fuel supply just waiting on a new fitting and we should be ok, bit frustrating but that's how these things go sometimes.

    It lives, fuelling a bit rich but it starts and runs, will get a video posted up in due course. Fuel cam will need to be developed now to get in running correctly. Not as loud as I thought it would be either considering minimal silencing it has.

    Congratulations! I'm sure it will feel louder after an hour or two.

    Have been following your thread for a long time. It'll be very exciting to hear that it's running.
