COIL .

Dry coil pack and throttle position sensor .
Missed Bromley pagent yesterday , drove passed there twice on Saturday evening and saw nothing to indicate it was on on Sunday . Did not even twig when Gary texted to say are you going , took it it was on some upcoming weekend . Old muppet syndrome I guess !!

OMEX .

This took less than 24 hours to get to me from Northampton Motor Sport , cant be bad .

A dry pack coil and throttle possition sensor are still to follow .

I wanted to retain my distributor if at all possible to retain period look and this allows me to do that .

Thanks to peoples advice pushing me down this route some months ago , makes good sense now .

I also tried posting a thank you and update on Mr Sideways site but found myself SHUT OUT, not sure what is going on there ?

I need to phone Titans today and see when my d.s.p bracket is arriving .

FIRST ROUGH TRIAL FIT .

This evening I decided to spend an hour just roughly fitting the main components for the first time to see how much room there would be in general .

It soon became clear that the best place for the dry sump tank would be neatly tucked into the corner of the passengers footwell , leaving more room under the bonnet and bringing the centre of gravity further rearwards . The Caterham race rad makes things easier being reasonably small and the accusump could possibly be mounted to the susspension turret brace seen here as a bit of 3"x1" timber . This should all leave plenty of room for laminova , swirl pots , thermostats and filters etc .

I am still waiting for my estimate for the Omex 200 and associated bits but that should certainly be here by tuesday .

It does not matter how much progress one makes the list of things still to be done never seems to get any shorter !

BIRDS EYE VIEW .

Not even enough room to apply full lock ----- grass is allways greener , eh !!

INDUCTION PROGRESS

Engineering Solutions in Bexley Kent returned my plennum today and I have to recommend them on their quality of work , time keeping and pricing .

As long as I do not land on my front d/s wheel on full left lock things should be O.K.

The plennum will be linked to the K and N Apollo remote filter at the front of the car .

Titans are due to finnish the dry sump bracket on the twelth of this month , Allthough I have to say I will be more than surprised if this date is met .

There were two main issues I felt had to be overcome in this build ( which I purchased in engineering ignorance from the original owner ) , both needed in order to sit this engine where it belonged and for others sake I should here inform members that the redisign of the pump and bracket alone will cost me £2,300.00 enough to purchase a Spit on its own . The Induction issue thankfully was not so costly .

This should , I think , be enough to encourage other people to do their homework before embarking on a major implant . This venture is certainly teaching me a great deal with every

step .

However I am still very happy to be involved with this car as I am sure it will one day return the favour in full .
