Not much left, seats, some wiring, new shrouds to fit over the gear shift mech, mapping, geo, foot down , fun!!! 
Anglesey?
Nope 
First TD out will be an airfield day for a shake down, or maybe silverstone as its so close to TTS.
Shame, really is a fantastic achievement you must be proper chuffed, enjoy 
As it happens I’m in the same boat, car may just be ready in time minus paint but obviously needs a shake down first.
It’s been a long two years!! But there’s no other way I could have afforded the man hours that have gone into it

It’s certainly one DIY option that’s alot more pleasurable than having someone else do it for you, unlike some things i can think of
It also has the benefit of no arguments with the third party after the DIY has finished for a while 
picked up an ATI super damper on a recent visit to the US…

As I hadn’t a clue what that is, I found this CLICKY

cool, thanks for posting that explains why Darren asked me to fork out for one in the forst place, and not just because he thought it would look pretty on my engine !!
That was a very interesting read, I had never heard of pendulum damper before either.
with the lifespan of a modern engine, is it really needed?
I like the one they use in the Taipei101 building in china. 660 tonnes!
Quote-
Thornton-Tomasetti Engineers along with Evergreen Consulting Engineering designed a 660 tonnes (728�short tons)[12] steel pendulum that serves as a tuned mass damper, at a cost of NT$132�million (US$4�million).[13] Suspended from the 92nd to the 87th floor, the pendulum sways to offset movements in the building caused by strong gusts. Its sphere, the largest damper sphere in the world, consists of 41 circular steel plates, each with a height of 125�mm (4.92�in) being welded together to form a 5.5�m (18�ft) diameter sphere.[14] Another two tuned mass dampers, each weighing 6 tonnes (7�short tons),[13] sit at the tip of the spire. These prevent damage to the structure due to strong wind loads.
Fascinating stuff. Didn’t know any thing at all about em.
Fair bit of progress made over the weekend,despite Darren having to fit in a quick 10 hour rush job on the development R8 !!
We fitted the seats to the frames, fitted the S2 centre tunnel, removed rear speaker and stereo, fitted the ATI super damper (Cnut of a job with the engine in!) fitted all the relevant cooling bits (oil, water& s/c) incl pipe work filled the gearbox with oil,bled the braking system.
All in all not a bad weekend, leaves Darren with about a days worth of electrical bits to do and then another full day of assembly for both of us, but then it’s ready for the driveshafts to be run in on the rolling road slowly before mapping
One day…
charger cooler pump mount and header is very very good there mate
Engine is just under 10.5:1, on a 2.2ltr. It’s a c38-91 geared to go flat out at 8250rpm. Sc pulley is a 95mm, so to be exact in the sc speed… 138 crank x 8000rpm x gearbox ratio 7.5, divided by sc pulley gives 87150 rpm to start with, sc can do 90k but depends what we find when we start mapping. If she will take a big more I can drop to. 90mm pulley and lower the rev limit a little.
