Well for those people that didnt see this at fcs, it was there but only on stand briefly, was an eventful day
After leaving home at 6:30 had a gear linkage snap 5 minutes up the road so had to Bodge it with a cable tie to get me to combe
Bought some bakerbm gear linkages (thanks to Scott and grant for suggesting speaking to stu he seems like a top bloke) and fitted the top ones on stand ready for going out on track
Got out on track and was going much better than the last outing, deffinitely more capable than I thought so looking forward to getting out again in future
As quite a few of you who were there knew whilst it was on track had a slight issue, the matrix hose popped off of the bulkhead and promptly cooked the engine so it spent the rest of the day being played with to try and make it run again while waiting for a recovery truck
Again big thanks to those who helped or gave advice, was a good day and at least she went out having fun
Borrowed a compression tester (thanks Paul) and got 6/3/3.5/6.5 Bar from drivers to passenger side
Will hopefully be getting another engine to drop into this one and then probably strip the old one to see what state it's in
Unfortunate but oh well gonna move on from here will probably invest in a few extras for when it goes in too
