My latest weapon for Better Launches with less spin! I picked up 2mph in swing speed and 5 mph off the club face = Much more distance & far greater control!!

Great investment...Shot 2 under and won our clubs President Cup.😁

Dipstick is now perfect!!!😂

Engine is up to the 1st oil change. But nothing will be happening again until I fix a couple of fuel leaks. One of them is the fuel pump.😬

Went out on the weekend for a cruise. Here's a vid of me taking it easy getting some K's on this thing....until I get my bigger valve springs in.

I still only have single springs in atm.

😁

I've got to be careful..My rev limiter can only limit from 6,000RPM +.

5,000 RPM is more than enough for coming up the range. Don't want to go past that with singles.

Feels good to be driving it again. Even had a Ricer guy give me the thumbs up when I cruised past his place!

After all my elecrical dramas, car stopped down flagstone creek with no mob ph coverage..that was interesting!🤪

Had my starter rebushed for nothing because I thought there was problems there.😬

Still didn't have rev limiter function because the sparky didn't wire the ruddy thing up correctly! It now functioning for the 1st time ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😬

I've had toggle switch malfunction, so one of those is gone and I have a purdy aircraft type fuel switch for the fuel pump now.

Bug is in the shed with the engine out for head torque, new springs and replace both engine & gearbox seals.

The joys of having a car sitting around for a while.
