then got cracking on the fuel system. got the feed side line adaptor on and moved the filter and regulator as im having a few clash issues with tb and rail, plus fmic pipes and coil and ignitor. few relocations of more bits required to make more progress. and ordered a few new an bends to sort the fueling.

Hmmmm need to book time off i think and get her running, sick of looking at it tbh, and ohh my god!! finishing the fuel system is a non stop head ache tbh!! Giving up on "Traders" on this site, ill get grant over to fix their mistakes i think.

Well, im not gonna lie I've been a bit "meh" again over finishing the car. Did a silly thing and had a quick add up of what i could make if i broke it and well i was highly tempten as its an aweful lot of money sat here :( but after being kicked in the arse by grant i decided what better way to reignite your fire than buying another engine haha

Deebo's lil ep80 did an epic job moving the 5e i bought which is now tucked in behind the goat. I have no plans as yet what will happen with it but its good to have a spare engine and even more so when its a spare 5e!!

Grant came round today and between us we got a good bit done on the last few bits in the bay and grant has marked out and taken away a few bits that need some tweeking. He has also hopefuly solved my fuel headaches after all the crap with non fitting rails and an-to oem fittings that dont fit etc. Lets just say is a certian few traders i will never recomend! But chin up as all is looking promising and i may well have some great updates soon.

Cheers guys. Thats exactly what grant said. He sayd put aload of bits to the side concentrate on making ot run and then take it for a drive, he said the boosted goat will do the rest and then ill never want to let it go lol. I hope hes right. And amjad ill do my best for fest 2. But will need to keep an eye for a ticket and a pass so anyone drops out send em my way as i missed the deadline like a douche!!!

As soon as you launch it for the first time and show it a few bends u will slap yourself for even thinking about selling/breaking it! Id totaly gone off starlets when i was so close to the finish line but now mines finished ive found the love again and baught another one for another project:haha:

Whats te plans with the 5e? Impulse buy? Personally id stick with the 4e and save yourself anymore work! Not like this car is gonna need it! You should just give it to me for my new one :haha:

Basicaly charlie yea was a bit of an impulse buy lol. It was 5mins from my house for a price i couldnt refuse so i thought ill keep it for the future haha. I've no intention of sticking it in the goat unless my 4e dies and tbh the 4e takes alot of shit and loves it :)

And i realy am holding onto the hope that once i hit boost ill forget i ever thought of selling up. Been driving deebo's lil ep80 the last few days and once again its helped a bit as its so damn fun to drive haha
