R1 Injection - She lives !
After what seems like an age (took me longer to do the engine transplant than originally building and SVA the car). I fired up the new motor for the
first time today.
I might have a beer or two later

Lots of tidying up to do before I go out in it but not long now.
A series.... Memories of the magic wand 2ft gear stick in my first car (850cc of noise and oil leaks)

It must have been the threat of being plugged into my car that finally scared the ECU into allowing it to fire

Oh shut up Donut, we know how much you like car engines
There should be restrictions for people like you coming into the BEC section and polluting threads with talk of car engines
