Hey

Morning, Team.

Some progress to report. Peterson scavenge pump filters fitted to the dry sump to save the pump from the inevitable grenading engine. Bit of a mission to run the lines above the 'speed-bump' height. E-Throttle Body mounting plate fab'd, welded to the intake manifold (Cheers, Dylan @ NZEFI) and painted. BOV link pipe shortened and a new silicone reducer fitted. Beautiful alloy Tilton throttle pedal removed (sniff) and the horrible plastic E-Throttle abomination from the folks at Ford takes it place. Still trying to work out how to mount it (maybe dinner and a movie first…). One saving grace with this upgrade is that I don't have to worry about a throttle cable!

"Too Infinity and Beyond!"
(Space Ranger rescued from the Metro. He was sitting on a pile of rubbish next to the grinder, looking up at me "Please rescue me, Mr, I don't wanna die! I am alive!". You've seen the movie. Had to jump into the pit (while no one was looking) and bring him home for a bath and some reassuring words). He thinks the Fraser is his spaceship and will return him to Sector 4 and Zurg. (...I haven't the heart to tell him).

L8R, Ladies and Germs.
