The main 2012 update is on the previous page guys 
Couple of videos;
Sandy having fun in the first mapping session (OE fuel pump)
And the first RR run (with OE fuel pump) - You'll need the turn the volume up for this one as my car has quite literally wrecked the microphone on my iphone 4S lol 
And finally Sandy having fun on the rollers with the uprated fuel pump and over 220bhp's under his right foot - You'll need to turn the volume up on this video as well because of my wrecked microphone lol
TRAX Silverstone 2012 video of me on track, kindly taken on Ross's GoPro

If I'm honest I have never really liked the colour,
But the work gone into this from sandy to mark you and your dad ect... is just way beyond. That exhaust manifold is amazing its more art and the fact it's made for function over looks is just brilliant.

Well what can I say.... Just been a pleasure to help develop this over the last 6 years from a shocker to a top notch heroic car ..... Nuts brackets and every last little thing not left to be replaced or attacked by the sander to get repainted.
You'll see her soon bro
Oh P.S.
Now it's my turn JP

Thanks mate, the whole car is made to be as quick & functional as possible, but also at the same time I've tries to keep it looking tidy, comfortable & driveable all at the same time. It's certainly been a fine line!

Yep finally got our Internet installed into our new flat and found a few free hours between 11pm-3am on sat night to update - yes it took me 4 hours to write this update. Main issue was finding the pictures on my laptop / portable hard drive / camera / phone lol

Cheers mate, you've been a big part of this ferrying the car around. The ring trip & lap in the legendary XR was pay back haha

it's been 8 years in the making but I feel the car is near enough as I want it now. Still some slight improvements to come but apart from that its 99% as I want it

The manifold definitely sets it apart from anything else I've ever seen. Mike Edwards did a cracking job on it what other pics do you want?

Just some more pics of the manifold! Any more would do. I didn't think a series of pipes could look so good lol 
What other little changes are you thinking of?

Lol, I'll dig some out now...
Well I want to change the clutch, get a few brackets powder coated that I didn't have time to get done before, get a full interior loom made up to tidy that up & ill be getting some after market digital dials at the same time
That's the jobs for this winter, sounds easy but I'm only back in the UK for 2 weeks over Christmas between now and next summer, so need to get cracking over Christmas and get as much done as possible!
In the long term I need the upper strut brace modifying & scuttle opening up to allow more air to get more around the trumpets easier as I'm losing 10bhp+ from the engine dyno figure to the rolling road figure as it currently stands
EDIT;
Few more manifold pics...

Half of them have already been done Joe, just didnt get time to do the rest as we ran out of time. Basically everything pre-engine was powdercoated where possible. I took a big box of bits and bobs to be done lol
The whole system from the manifold back was done by Mike. Its been done with proper push on connectors etc. I cant say any dimensions, primary lengths etc as we have to respect Sandys confidential information that hes spent months / years perfecting
