One day, Ari is going to finish this boat.

Then sit back, look at it, and think,

"WTF am I going to do now?"

i often think that actually and i do have a plan for the future. i wanna start mucking around with hybrid tech and hydrogen power, so if there is to be any changes to the car in future, itll be along those line. im not even joking. id love to modify some of the inverter tech to run regenerative brakes to the main battery, use petrol for the initial start, HV for for take off, then channel all the current into a wet-hydrogen cell to power fluffy. given its current compression ratio and cubic capacity, we would be talking about SERIOUS horsepower.

anyway some pics to keep people company:

too much shiny, but underneath the glimmer is sabbaths old 24lb injectors (cheers very much for that mate, youre a legend)

my kind workbench:

annnnd here is the "number 1" position of the rotor button [the red mark shows where number 1 is]

good night all

Too much hippy not enough NOS.

suckers! this **** happened:

i cant remember who called it. either NAAF or delcowizard, but someone said straight off "you sure youre not a tooth out on the dizzy" well yeah, i fkn was.

it wasnt a big deal with the haltech cos you could adjust the spark angle plus or minus, but this 0411 is locked, no messing with spark timing on the dizzy. cos its a tooth out its firing when its not even close to the post so just doesnt go anywhere.

its been 2 years and ive never heard fluffy running this nice. i still have lots to do 'tuning-wise' but now i know it runs, i can smash the interior back in and really start making progress.

THANK YOU everyone who reads this and contributes. you guys really help press me on. not gonna lie, id lost a lot of momentum, and when this latest ECU didnt work was ready to chuck in the towell. but im glad i didnt.

the JC community rocks!
