Alarm issues have drained the battery.

No more remote locking, stuff the alarm.

Battery's charged and passenger seat bolted in finally. Now just have to get it through the MOT on Thursday.

My mate'll be fitting braided lines, brake pads, new fluid, new coolant hose, new coolant, changing the oil and filter; then it's good for Oulton.

How it stands:

Seats in; super low driving position!

PugSport awaiting fitting post MOT:

Might even give it a clean and wax if the weather holds off. Needs some form of protection in lieu of any lacquer!

Looks like water to me mate, either from the rad or just some that has got trapped somewhere in the front end and dribbled out...

Coming along nicely, any other mod's planned for it?

'tis. I was worried the nearside wheel had finally split the coolant hose. S'ok, just dripped out the bonnet sill when I moved it.

I really want a 4-2-1 mani for it. Should realease a fair bit of power as the OEM one's tiny. Other than that just tidying, polybush, a smattering of braces and hopefully a cage over the winter. ...then cams if it's still running solidly. :salut:

Fitted one rear line; driver's side is caked up so awaiting more tools. Feeling good though.

Also re-tapped and dyed the dodgy wheel nut/hub on the front wheel.

Coolant hose and coolant change tomorrow plus the remaining line and bleeding with RBF600. Frickin' lack of day light! :bad-words:

Well, got the final hose on and brakes bled so took it for a road test (on trade plates)...and, it went like a little rocket! Soooo impressed! Handled well even on sh-t tyres. :WOOT

But, got back, parked up, smoke. Hot, thin oil pissing out the cam ladder. :bad-words: MOT postponed, going to do it all; crank, cam and rocker seal.

Set back but at least I know it's capable.
