Oh, & the hawk eyes among you may have spotted the "Coil-over igniters" ontop of the spark plugs yeah??? well that`s just to do with all that late model type engine management system type stuff.... you know, where theres no more need for distributor or cap or hi tension leads & all that old crap,,, all that sparking type stuff is sorted via crank & cam angle sensors & computers & stuff

yes, well, thank you for noticing how nice & smooth my hands are, i use a special blend of elephant sperm, vitamin A cream, aloe vera & beer,,, works a treat hey?

Ok, ok, all jokes aside, i don`t really mix aloe vera in

allright allright, seriously then--> It`s actually a girl holding the hair dryer, i thought that was only approapriate & besides, the way she was holding it i could see down her top It took me a while to sort the phone camera out so she had to stay in that possition for ages, poor thing, no bra too filthy discusting girl should be ashamed of herself

Gafmo,,, no need to be jealous/envious mate, all my conversion kits will be ready shortly & i`ve just done another deal for 10 more cyl heads this week, so even you can set one up

I`ve also made the Jigs up for both the N/A extractors & the turbo manifolds so there`s no problem making them up at any time, quick as a wink & easy-peasy

I`ve made up the plenum chamber & the swirl pot, all plumbing of the rest of the fuel system is allready in place, we`re just waiting on the crank & cam angle sensors, air temp sensor & map sensor to be mounted & wired in, then fit up a few more things like the intercooler & the oil cooler & we`re done. Jonno, (my main wiring man wires up the Stone Bros V8 super tourers) is finishing off all the wiring on this moke & then we will plug in & play with the tune of it.

stay tuned for more exciting adventures from Dork-man,,, er ,,, ar,,, i mean MiniMan

Matt, you appear to be quite talented with the build of these things.... but.... your marketing skills are a little , um, shite.

I reckon you'd have done much better at the Muster by showing off the twinky in a semi well finished car rather than the heap o puss it was in. It just doesn't give the feeling of quality and completeness that the rest of the kit does.

You really need to put one in a well-finished car or set one up in an rhs frame so you can display it well. I know it doesn't actually make the kit better or worse but it's impressions that count when selling non-essential products.

Many good products sell badly due to poor marketing, don't let your engines be amoungst them.
