Such an awesome thing to be able to share with your spouse, wish my wife was interested in the Exocet as much as I am. But, then again, we would probably live in a tide box under an overpass if that were the case.

I have pictures of a v8 on an engine stand in my kitchen somewhere. Cleanest, brightest place to put one together. Made sense to me.

just been fitting the loom down the ppf and noticed that where the ppf leaves the tunnel its touching the rear section of the frame. ive tried lifting and lowering the car from axel stands, loosening and tighten all the frame bolts and i have loosened the ppf bolts all to no avail. Anybody got any ideas?  |

exciting day today connected the battery. turn the key and nothing. got voltage at both fuse boxes and at the headlights, but when I turn the lights on the tns relay goes a bit mad. the car did turn over on the starter though. there are no lights on the dash either.
Please help.
not sure where to go to be honest.

Anything "immobilisery" from the original car that you may have missed?

Now that the engine is alive I'm about to pull the trigger on some wheels which are et38 the build guide says that et15 require no spacers does that mean I need a 23mm spacer?

That's the maths, you may find it easier to get 25mm or someone else might be able to advise if you can get away with 20mm. Make sure you get hub centric ones. Many use Freakyparts spacers. He's on here but I forget his username right now sorry.
