It looks really, really good. What exhaust will you use. Can you shoot video of it running?

Any reason you're using a VJU4BR8 distributor?
I have a few customers with the same kit and they all used a Bosch 010.

Hi Glenn I would love to run a 010 but I already spent a lot of money on the Riechter kit, the fram filters and the exhaust, and need to recover financially a bit

Understood. You can always replace it when funds are available.

Indeed it is a real pleasure to drive. Has gained a lot of torque at low revs, and the sound is just so exciting....
