Was checked over by the mechanics after I did all the work and got ticks all round there except for needed a bit more grease in some ball joints.
Went to get run in on the dyno and was running very lean, turned out that when I sent the manifold, injectors and fuel rail off to be cleaned I didnt realise there was meant to be a spacer between the fuel rail and manifold so injectors were sucking air around them causing it to run lean

This car has taken me 2 years to modify. It blew up the enging at a supersprint 2 years ago at Wakefield and since then it was just going to be an engine rebuild, but with engine and gearbox out, I decided I would strip engine bay and paint it. Than came along the diff from a project GA I bought, so that went in, then new brake lines, surge tank in the back, fuel tank protection, weight reduction (chisel to the sound deadening), new bushes, steering components, brakes, pads, rebuilt calipers, new shocks and springs and bearings.
For a while it was a shell on stands with a dash.
Whole car got seam welded and 6 point bolt in cage installed (which I had bought prior to blowing engine up).
Running a 2.6L Scorpion block, M8 head, forged flat top pistons, balanced bottom end, balance shafts removec, high volume oil pump, and TR injection (that doesnt quite fit). Car now has a bonnet scoop which is all for show to fit the injection under the bonnet.
Still a few things to add like mudflaps, new paint, tripmeter probe and water temp warning light.
Great first outing, and hopefully a lot more to come.
