Had SVA today, and.....
returned with the MAC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twgArtVqMlM&feature=related
SOOOOOOOOO chuffed!
Thank you to Warren (Wozsher) who has been more than helpful over the last few weeks, his work has been top draw.
Thanks also to Steve Hignett (Worx) who has been a top bloke for as long as I;ve known him - and helped massivly to get the car to where it is now!
Also thanks to Joe (Welderman) for sorting my Exhaust which I'd ruined by storing the spare wheel on it without support - OPPS!
Thanks to Lee (Maximillian) who has been super helpful, and is owed a beverage and then some for all his assistance the other week with my carbs.
Big thanks to Andy Bates (I'll get that loom posted back - sorry I forgot!) for being one of the best suppliers I've ever dealt with.
Thanks to everyone else who has helped me too, I didn't mean for this to turn into a thankyou thread, so havn't given it much thought -
I'm sure I've missed people out. Most of you have helped and not realised via the forum - so thanks for that too, and of course - thanks for
the forum admin and owners - thanks to you I built a car!

Thanks guys - I'll tell you the jackenory now!
Car was having emissions sorted at rolling road in Bury - had a knightmare getting it sorted as they just don't know bike carbs! anyhow, they
said they had sorted it.
Collected it at 8.30 then across to warrens unit for fitting the speedo healer!
Top job done (great bit of kit them healtec speedo healers) [for reference the red wires are for a switched live, the blacks are neautral, the White
is signal IN (sensor side), Green is signal OUT (ECU side). on the v4 healer]
drove round the estate and it worked a treat!
Getting the car onto the trailer and disaster struck! In my haste the ramps spun out and the car was beached!
It was only thanks to a big bloke giving me a warren an hand that I was able to head on my way.
At the other end I was getting the car off the trailer and the bloomin pavement was a bit in the way, a sneeky bit of steering whilst reversing put
the rear wheel past it, but the exhaust caught it full! ripped the support bobbin off, and pushed the end of the repackable can into the body of the
silencer! all the rivets were ripped out! I thought it was over, but a bit of locost inginuity with tool number one and all was sorted!
Emissions were done first, I was well out! Which I was fuming about as I'd spent a fortune, anyhow had a fiddle and then let the car warm up and
it passed - JUST (i'm not sure if geoff was using a bit of artistic licence on the pass to be fair! But I'm not complaining!) 
Speedo was a touch out, but that was easy fixed. He drove round the test centre and gave it a bit of omph (you can tell he likes kit cars) i spotted
the ripped bobbin was slowly parting company with the end can again! in my haste I grabbed a cloth I had in the passenger seat as we were driving
along and tried to heave the end can back in line with the bobbin - burning my hand pretty badly! but the end can stayed on so I'm not
fussed!
All in all an eventful day - I'm geneuinly chuffed!
