Duratec First Start

Well its taken me two years to get here, I was actually gob-smacked and astounded, when only after three attempts the Duratec bust into life, wasn't expecting it too that easy.

I've built the MS2 V3 myself too including the loom and it just started.

I'm on cloud nine

Here's a very shaky video taken this evening showing the fourth turn of the key! link

Nice one. I always like a first start.

Balance up those throttle bodies next (I guess).
