Mufflers back on

Dad returned last week from a short trip to the UK so we started it up for him. It took about 2 revolutions on the nearly-dead battery before starting. Pretty happy with that. Dad hadn't heard the car yet and was pretty impressed with it.

After that we thought we'd put the old mufflers back on to hear how it sounds. It may also help to keep the neighbours friendly. Here's how it sounds. Sorry for the iPhone sound quality. Sounds pretty crap on this video. It's hard to say, but Tim thinks it may be too loud for roadworthy purposes. We're gonna have to choose new mufflers carefully. We're planning to change the exhaust setup so that the mufflers exit in the centre like they should. Perhaps the 180 degree can of worms manifold may happen in the future, but not just yet.

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to run this for long because we don't have a radiator cap! Yep, something that simple... We used a Moroso filler neck installed at the thermostat. I've now tried the 2 standard height caps (22mm and 27mm) and neither of them fit. Damn it! I'll have to order a Moroso cap.

While Dad was over, we got him to test out the pedals. He thinks the position is fine for him, so we'll push on and fit them where they are.
