Thats looking real grand matey, just hope she's all run in ready for Salisbury.
Those jack up stands are good aren't they, I've put castors under one one of mine so I can move it round the garage - well if there was any spare room.
What blue is that ?

Thats looking really good. I'd like to see it being raced. I was wondering what shade of blue it is as well. Just one last thing, are blue ones faster than red ones :lol: ?

Cheers fellas! BLUE ones are the fastest of all!!! :lol:

Oil tank was well masked etc but I too got plenty of debris out. Just hope it was enough and that all the filters do their job for the initial start up.....

i changed the oil after the first run i got it nice and warm then i changed the oil and filters
then it had anouther oil and filter change after the first rolling road session
