    Well, Sheppo, Da Horse and Slim managed to make some progress on my car while I was interstate. The ecu now has some flashing lights (The good kind), the fuel system has been tested and leaks fixed. They got to the bottom of the oil leak issue - Two possible causes (A fractured fitting and a pinched o-ring). Also, solved a leaky diff issue. On Friday night/Saturday morning... The 22 should be alive again after 3 years.

    How's everyone else going?

    Can't rush perfection. Such a downer when your motor expired last time. Surprisingly you were quite understanding about the whole thing which I certainly wouldn't have been . I don't think I will ever see a spark plug munched like what came out of that engine. Fingers crossed for an uneventful 6Hr for you.

    Hahahaha. Yeah, I still have that plug. I'm think this year I'm going to run low boost and just pace it around. Try and minimise danger until it's properly run in and well sorted.

    You'll probably still be lapping in the 1.40 somethings so it won't be slow. Just as long as you beat all those 'rolla boys who circulate in the 1.49 bracket

    know the feeling Ian
    the ke20 is on the trailer ready for wiring windscreen and tail shaft
    then we can start it and tune it
    the trailer is about 75 hours off completion fingers crossed
    if failure it will be a frantic borrowing trailers
