since those photos were taken i have now have my car back finally! Set-up problems dogged the car and slow reactions from omex meant delays getting the car finished.
Car definitely pulls hard and clean now, great MPG using 1/6th of a tank J11 M40 to SW london. Car starts instantly too no long cranking/pedal pumping needed. A few pops and crackles on over run. No smell of fuel from the car either
Gear change feels slick now. Still lacks modern synchro's but the wevo gate kit does guide you hand to the right gear (no more stick in a bag feel). The shortened gear ratio's via the crown and pinion give the car an eager feel. You don't appreciate this so much cruising on the motorway but on the smaller fast road gives the car very torquey/grunty feel
Sound deadening seems to be doing its job drove all the way home no headache. The front right wheel had an air leak this was sent back to braid and fixed under warranty (hassle free). I also knew i had to replace the screaming dashboard fan, once the car home i set about replacing it with a new one from type911. Semi tricky job a few broken finger nails later and we were done. Now i have a nice silent breeze into the cabin (great on these hot days)
One thing that seems to be on the hit list is the suspension. With all the extra power the car easily becomes a handful on rougher roads. the bushes probably have seen better days too a complete refresh seems in order with new adjustable dampers. However i'll not tinker with the car till winter just because i want to bloody drive it.
