No it's a stand alone dash, you do however wire the standard instrument lights etc to the spa dash. The only ball ache is the fuel tank level sensor

Its not CAN setup, it's pretty normal but it works and easy to install.

Cheers Tom, I'm really pleased with the outcome
We've got lucky with the opening times, Friday evening, all day Sat + Sun 8am - 7pm it's open, as long as the weathers decent there's no reason why a minimum of 20 across sat+sun, and hopefully get a few in on Friday evening too

Ah right cool, I like analogue dials so the SPA was the obvious choice for me, plus not having to add Extra buttons and lights etc to get it road legal! Where does it make peak power?

That's not what I asked where does it make peak power? At what revs?
Why a thicker head gasket now?

Thanks Gary. Sandy did a great job with the engine & Mike Edwards designed + built the manifold to Sandys spec.
You know the Beaniesport duo do you? I'll probably pop down to there workshop in July when I'm back in the UK. Moo definitely did a cracking job on the loom, very tidy and a proper job

Ever so sorry ....
When Sonny had it he put a thicker head gasket it, i'll have to ask him to comment on why.
According to Sonny's old thread it made peak power at 7300rpm.

peak power 130 atw @ 7300rpm but made good power all the way past 8000rpm.
I wished i could've gone hi comp & forged and revved the fucker harder!
The thicker headgasket was a mistake tbh. i didn't realise i used a thinner one when i originally put the engine together, then when i replaced the valves with some sexy ones, i uninetensionally used a thicker gasket.

Will be interesting to see what difference the lower compression has made to peak power / torque....

Wooooops! Decent power for an 8v! How much thicker are we talking? How did you come to realise it was thicker - if at the time of fitting why didnt you just get it replaced for the same thickness as before?

I just didn't realise until I'd built it all up. It went on the dyno and it lost 4-5whp.

Haha I think you, Danny & I know all about that lol. It sounds stupid but regardless if im away or not my car is still my toy, my hobby, its what motivates me to get up in the morning, stay an hour hour or 2 extra at night to earn the extra cash, which i can then justify treating myself to something trick over the winter each year
Tbh I'm at the stage now where I only get 1 or 2 bits per winter & I make sure they are good quality bits
