Hellfire on the road

She's finally on the road... after mucho checking and tidying. Hellfire II went for the first shakedown tonight... speedo is slightly out and the offside brake is binding a little but overall we ar ehappy chappie's. I took a video of the momentus occasion and as soon as I have time will put it onto the site. Many thanks to everyone who gave advice; no matter how small; for without you it would have made the build a whole lot more difficult. Special thanks to MK Sportscars and MK Engineering for without their help and invaluable advice we would be pretty much shufted.
Once we have a few miles on't clock and began to accustomise to it - we'll be seeing you around. Thanks again!!

One can only imagine how good it was to be on the road again.

Well done lads!

How about seeing who can rebuild their bent car in record time?

Quite sure mine wont last a year without a scratch





Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

Alas no. It disappeared into the ether. It wasn't particularly interesting anyhow, just following a pace car to get some idea of speedo reading in order to correct error with speedohealer. Never went above 50mph or 4,000 revs.

Are you guys in a hurry or what?

What is it with beating us down into submission of a video...???

We're having a few problems with the brakes, spent tonight bleeding the damned things again after discovering we were leaking fluid. I'm afraid we are replacing the sump gasket tomorrow due to the original one leaking. We wouldn't want any mishaps on video now would we. Would you?

As soon as we have it done - I'll be the one in the drivers seat with remote microphone in a furry sock down by the side of the exhaust for maximum effect! Then i have to get it all onto PC... gives us a chance will ya!!! We've got jobs too ya know!

All our best!
