Great little car blast to drive! Not the most reliable in the world, (it is British, after all) but we're getting there. I swapped out the racing harness for a regular seat belt, removed the kill switch, added lights & stripes, and put some Brad Penn oil in it. Looks like we're probably going to swap the cam out for something less aggressive- which will improve low end torque and make it run smoother.
Cheers,
Paul.
