Various things you can do. Swapping for a non-vvc head means you're reducing valve sizes, so if you're after power then don't go that route.

You can run solid cams on the oe plenum with a blanked...

Remind me of the Kei Force 10 but they don't have Kei written on one of the spokes.

Put some mirrors on (well one as still gotta do the other side)...

Cheers :D

Reminds me of how the BRM track car looked prior to graphics.

Never updated this on here in a while, anyhow she's basically done with just calibration of the speedo and rev counter and tracking to do. So here's what she ended up looking like and what she...

I'd thoroughly clean the threads before winding, otherwise you'll bugger them pulling all the dirt through.

VROOM!!

Well she only bloody started today!

No pics or vids I'm afraid as that'll happen when she's mapped properly, but after a lot of ballache with wiring and sensors, etc, she's now running....

So this weekend, tinkering on the B. Clutch and brakes all bled now, whoot!

Refitted the bellhousing plate...
...

More tinkering with the brakes and clutch this weekend, managed to fit the new cylinders and hosing so just need to tighten it all up and bleed them all again. Also managed to wire in the speedo and...

So while everyone was enjoying themselves at PoL I spent a few hours up at the unit amongst other jobs and managed to get a few things done, chief of which was firmly doing up the gearbox.

Also...

You need a TV licence to watch any 'live broadcast' programmes, not just the BBC but sky, etc too, received through an aerial or dish.

You don't need a tv licence to watch I player, YouTube, on...

The first start will really be fault finding, all you'll hear is a lot of swearing and me rushing around looking for potential leaks, etc! Haha

Still plodding along, need to do some reworking of the brake/clutch lines which is a right pain in the neck but we want to do it right!

Still here's a gratuitous bum shot in the meantime...
...

Cheers guys, it's slowly getting there. Hopefully gearbox in next weekend, finish bleeding the brakes, upload the map from the BRM onto the ecu, fill with fluids and try and start the thing! ...

So lots more tinkering on the car going on. First up some rerouting of piping in the fuel tank area, decided not to breath back into the tank to avoid cavitation so that all needed replumbing...
...

Too many to choose from over the years...

S18HAD's yellow
Danny's K tubby
Paul PCD's cadded blue
Mean & Greens
Yellow Peril for what it was

...the list goes on.

Looks cracking!

So a few delays with updates with one thing and another slowing the build down, if you're tired of waiting then here's a fish tank from Finding Nemo to keep you entertained...
...

Been building it for bloody years now, lol! Started as a restoration but turned into a track slag, still the end is near only 11 things left to do!

Cheers, it's getting there and on the final stretch now. Only major thing is putting the gearbox in now all the bits have arrived.

Engine is a K-series 1.8, vhpd head, steel crank, high comp...

Woohoo, another R200 owner! :D

So in my last update I said we had a problem with the gearbox and it didn't have the right extension for the speedo drive that we have.

Here's the photo again of the mounting point blanked off on...
