That head on shot is a cracker .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

a weirdo who enjoys this sort of thing

Haven't updated this in ages, after photobucket took a massive shit I kinda lost arsedness and just stuck to Instagram.

Good news is the car's 'finished' well, it's MOT'd and i'm working through the niggles and getting some miles on her ready for the summer :)

Looks great! Nice colour

Cheers dude, wasn't my first choice but I couldn't get a matching paint code for the one I wanted but I'm more than happy with how it's turned out

Quite different to the last time I saw it in the metal. Looking much less holy

Saw this in the flesh at Bingley. It's as good as it looks in the pictures.

Absolutely stunning car Nick!

You have done a great job. Nice to see it in the flesh to.

Nick that’s awesome, you must be so pleased!
Is there an under bonnet money shot?

Cheers guys, yeah it's changed a bit since before, i'm pretty happy with how it's turned out. Feels good to be back behind the wheel too :)

Here you go Shane..

That’s a tidy build, makes my progress of late look shite!

That is very nice result!
Where does that chin spoiler come from?

Dazed and Confused....

Thats immaculate, well done.

The clip next to the plenum is the wrong way round.

And that is about the only criticism anyone could make !!

Looks mega mate

Haha, that clip does need swapping round!

Clubbys rule!
Well done Nick. Looks ace!

Looked great at Bingley. A very nice looking car and man it’s low!

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

I've swapped the clip round now!

Been getting some miles on it, still just running on actuator pressure (15psi) and when I get grip it's a fucking handful.
Had all the alignment done, same settings i used to use before but the torque steer is insane this time around.
It feels as though the front end goes really light and it just fucks off wherever it wants. I'm going to try and stiffen the back to stop it squatting and get it cornerweighted, after that I'm out of idea's.

I might be talking bollocks here but would a change of wheel offset make any difference? Only asking as I seem to recall that Matt Rowell had some interesting torque steer when he first built his Twink, obviously this was many ago and time may be blurring my recollection but I thought that was wheel related? What diff are you running?

Yeah I'm pretty sure the offset of the wheels isn't helping, although these are a bit less sticky outy than my old wellers so they shouldn't be any worse. I refuse to change them though as I've wanted these wheels forever, haha

I'm on a quaife ATB.

I won't be surprised if it's something I've fucked up by moving the top arms to be fair

Corner weight issues are likely to be the problem, but also it's worth trying to check what the front toe is doing under bump/droop

Agree with above

Oh sorry, I mean #JHS
