Nur Spec was quite loud. You'll hear it on the video below.
Not the best quality but hopefully give you an idea.

Finally, it's in!

This was actually about 10 days ago, just never had a chance to update.

The car is a rolling shell again, but still have a few things to get done.

Not a great deal to report. Fuel system is being finished this week, and then it's away next week to have an exhaust and intercooler pipework fabricated. It'll be back to Peters after that for the last few odd jobs before turning the key.

For anyone still interested, exhaust and BMIC pipework done.

Back to Peters for a couple of weeks to get the final bits finished.

That's the current state of play at the moment.
The exhaust guy took a lot longer than first quoted, which meant it knocked my schedule with Peter. It was agreed that I'd pick it up 22nd May which would have given Peter 2 weeks to finish fuel system, some wiring and a few other bits and bobs. However, Peter still hasn't got the car back but should hopefully have it back over the next day or so, and then I guess I'll just have to wait and see how he gets on.

I hope so mate as I'm dying to get out in it over the summer but xxxx knows. Losing the will to live with it the now if I'm honest.

There's days I love it and actually get excited about it, and then there's days I could soak it in petrol and throw a match at it...
