Ittssss Alive

Well after a painless install of a GBS Zero exhaust system, I decided to put petrol to the carb.

After a few pop pop bangs, it fired up a treat with a big jet of flame followed by the end can shooting off the end of the manifold (it was just pushed on).

Lots of squealing (sounds like two bits of metal being rubbed together) on the first run, but a quick go around checking cylinder head bolts and inlet manifold bolts and it seems to have gone away.

Two f**king years, two f**king years just to get a bit of clean air to go though a lump of iron and come out as smoke.....and it was worth every minute

But you didn't have the police banging on your garage door b'cause you wiped out the neighbours TV reception with unshielded spark plug wires.

The Canadians will appreciate this as it was the last game of the NHL playoffs.
