I'm not sure wether the WOW was there before I parked the car.
By the way James this is my BDG powered 266hp Elan it's being dynoed again on Thursday so well see if those figures are correct

Very sweet .... If that's an appropriate word to use for a potential beast :D
I think the design and colour of the wheels compliment the car very well.

Wow is in order!
I actually also have a BDG that I had built to fit into my elan. Figured the poor car couldn't take that HP and then opted for a 1700 QED SS engine.
Ended up getting a MK1 to fit the BDG.
Interested in the spec of your car, you should open a new post to discuss. I would have lots of questions on the build I chickened out on!

After finding that the clip/shaft/housing didn't line up I phoned Dave Bean-"Don't worry about it!" he said, " just leave the clip out" and I did... No problem yet.

I'm sure Colin would have left the clip out to save weight/cost if it wasn't needed....

Hope it's a tight fit in there.....

Cool! (Pun intended)

Would be good to see if all 4 exhaust runners are the same temperature...

There were four; 2 DHCs, 2 FHCs, one of each being LHD.

I'll reply in full once I'm back in the country, have my data in front of me and in a new thread.
