The new Oil Catch Tank is made … many thanks to Glenn ( The Lab ) and installed … PCV system IS gone 
Had to relocate the Fuel Filter to the back of the car to make room.
The tank has a 13mm drain with a tap accessible from underneath the car for easy-ish access.
Now just have to source a Solid State Relay and sort it's wiring to the ECU for my new improved water injection control, then it's off to finish the tune ( seems to be a never ending process 
)

Haha outstanding! this car is oozing testosterone nice work

Cheers Marty … probably a bit too much testosterone.
Have decided to go back to a TT Diff because me thinks the n/a one will throw it's toy's when I put on some sticky tyres and hit the track.
Hopefully the extra gearing shouldn't be an issue, a standard car is making 384nm at the flywheel @ 3600rpm while mine makes 425nm at the wheels @ 3600rpm … will most likely make 5th gear redundant on the track though.

You might find you will do faster lap times as you wont be hooking another gear as often. Could be offset by slightly slower acceleration though.
We need to have a drag race (I'm going to keep saying that until it happens 
)

Well … put a TT Diff and Sub-frame back in the car ( worried about breaking the n/a one ) what a difference 
… oh well, now saving for some 4:11 Leader gears. It's never f^(king ending

Break the Na driveshaft maybe?
On the other hand should be able to hit 300kph

More worried about breaking the axles, the drive shaft was a single piece and plenty strong enough … more like 320 if it could pull 7500rpm in top gear which I think it would do that and most likely more

If only we had salt flats to put these theories to the test
8:50 am
Nothing wrong with a good theory 
Race seat now fitted along with a 4 point harness and in the process of moving the battery and water injection tank, pump etc. forward.
Wasn't really happy having that weight behind the rear axle … should improve the balance … 
have I been watching F1 again ?

New Cam's ordered … have gone with Mechanical rather than Hydraulic (oem).
Custom grind from Kellford Cams.
Won't know the final spec's until finished but will be looking at around 10.5mm Lift @ the Valve and 238deg Duration @ 1mm Lift
My current cam's are 9.3mm Lift and 219deg Duration @ 1mm Lift
Will have adjustable gears on all 4 and will be dialled in exactly spec's.

Whats next DRS, Kerrs?

Hmmmm … decisions, decisions

To be honest Ive been mindful of weight & balance with the 2 seater build. I havnt got millions of dollars in R & D just a good ol can do kiwi optimism, hope I get it right

Who made those up for you?
You will need another 2.6L to keep up with my new toy (if it ever gets finished )

The Inlet's are "Mad Mikes" old Tomie Gears, the Exhaust's are ones Chad's ( from Tauranga ) he had made – I have painted them the same colour and replaced the fastenings with stainless steel to make them look pretty-er.
Have set the tappet clearances on one side – one to go.
