	Been taking some photos of the recent work... A big thank you to ImReallySlowMe and his Magic Metal sticking together machine ;D Stripped out the interior to get the seats in. Decided the best way to do it was with Seat bars welded between Tunnel and sill, then the seats and runners could be mounted on them I couldnt believe how solid the shell is.... really happy with it. Kevlar Sparco Fitted on Sidemounts and sliding runners While Dave was busy doing his Magic metal joining, I thought I would unbolt the remains of the rear seat belts This just made a big whole in the wheelwell So last night Dave was busy again ;D and I was under strict instructions not to go poking around anymore Trying to decide whether I like this or not as well The Spoiler not the 4x4 Ride height MAkes me realise I really must get around to stripping the front suspension down and cutting the coils, fitting the Konis and new ARB Drop links ;D Its exagerated because we live on a hill but even so it does sit way to high I`ll post some more pics of Carbs and exhausts up soon as well..... R6 and S2000 respectively ;D Looks like I am going to go Megasquirt as well, been talking to some of the guys on the MSUK mailing list who have allayed some of my initial worries as well ;D

	Why thank you Are you on the MSUK yahoo group ? Its quite interesting and I have had a lot of help and questions answered I was still toying between Emerald and MSnS.... Emerald because of the getting it running intitially thing and timescale with it being a daily. Apparently that was pretty unfounded, MSnS with a wideband Lamda set up seems to be pretty simple and self learning. one of the guys with a Zetec bought MS and a Wideband set up for less than the cost of an Emerald ECU, then had it running better than it ever had on carbs, in less time than it would have taken hime to load up the trailer and drive to Emerald for the mapping ;D Apparently Zetec is pretty much plug and play with EDIS and Megasquirt so I am back on track for that now.... How about you ? have you done anymore research / thinking about it
