just took it for its 1st spin!
wow its mad! NO exhaust tho! my work friend has just told me he could hear it from his house with the windows shut! popping and banging on the over
run! and id only taken it up to 9k then!lol!
Getting exhaust system made up this week, then should be on the road properly! feels weird to be back in the thing on the road! gonna need to learn
how to drive it all over again!
Oh and i think i need a different diff ratio, currently running a 3.64:1, and it just span the wheels up crazy style when it hit about 7k revs! also
was doing about 7k at around 50-60mph?

Congratulations!
So yours is in exactly the same state as mine now. My MK exhaust can decided to part company with the car at 80+mph on turn 2 at Bruntingthorpe. The
weld failed!
Bl00dy loud with no silencer isn't it!
Cheers

Wouldn't do too much driving around with no exhaust, if you have no manifold, theres a chance you could burn a valve out, and that would just
spoil all the fun, that said, its a great feeling aint it! 
RPM at 70 sounds about right similar to mine, although a lower ratio would be better.

it's all to do with back pressure and the frequency of the exhaust gas pulses

what is? you mean burning a valve out? I dont understand how a lack of an exhaust will burn a valve out?
