Dam this place needs a Spell check! I am going to Vmax as it’s not far from me and I think has mapping will be better than Minispeeds was, also I am not too keen on driving it far to its set up.

Right then I have a got all the little jobs that I have been putting off done today like-

1. fit the washer bottle,
2. fit the washer jets,
3. Make sure all the lights work
4. Refit the dash
5. Get the manifold gasket sorted
6. Got the handbrake sorted and working for the first time in a long time.
7. Give it a bit of a clean

Jobs left to do now is-
1. Get MOT
2. Get the RR setup booked
3. Sort the tax
4. Get the v5 sorted
5. Sort the insurance and the agreed value

So not much to do now.
Thanks simon.
P.s and a bit of an upto date eng bay shot.

Well I have pulled my finger out and got the AFR sorted I think and it’s in for MOT in at 9.15 in the morning, so fingers crossed.

Thanks lads well I am back now and it did not go well *angry*
Well as this was the first time I have driven the car on the queens highway and it was a BIG gamble and the gods where not looking down on me today.
I set off and the car was running sweet when it came on boost I shit myself! then at a sharp corner the car cut out when I went to restart it the battery was flat so as I was only 3mile from home I give my wife a call with the jump leads anyway it just keeps cutting out what I push the clutch down, the revs drop and it cuts out??
So we just put the bar on it and towed it home. I was hoping to MOT it so I can drive it to set it up/ shake it down.
So i am off to do some biking now to de stress

Shit news :(

How many revs do you loose?

If its only 500 or so, it could just be the trusts bedding in. Check the endfloat on the crank.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Surely the thrusts havent done enough work to have worn out?

I seriously doubt it!

I dont know what to do,

When its sat at idle its fine and as soon as i press the clutch down the revs drop and it will stall.

I think i will put a vid up tomorrow.

Could still be thrusts...especially if you are running a very light flywheel, or at least lighter than before....mine took about 300 miles before pushing the clutch didn't cause the revs to drop...and if the flywheel is lighter than was on previously it will seem worse for sure.
