They look a bit dark to me now the room is brighter. Not ideal but exposure increased from the raw file :?

Gotta say i love those pictures, looks absolutely stunning!
 
looks good, i still looking for a location like this where its just large expanse of sky to try differnt things with camera
 
I haven't seen it yet, but apparently theres a lump of iron in the greenhouse. I hope its cylinderhead shaped.

Porting and 3 angle valve seats planned, plus getting the cams away to Catcams or Schrick. Just emailed rst in leeds to see who they recomend for head work ;)

Ahhhh excellent
 
Just a quick tidy up and update.

As mentioned, the cylinder head had arrived and was promptly dismantled.

There is room for some improvement to the ports, valve guides and seats

More info about the ongoing headwork here>> Cylinder head work


Along with porting the head, I'm also looking into replacement cams to go in. Something which nobody makes up till now, due to the RS133 having a VVT setup on the inlet cam and a square tension compensator cam on the exhaust, so K4M cams from a Laguna etc won't fit. Anyway, I now have a head which can be used for measurements and prototyping af new profiles so the head has gone on it's holidays to the South coast and Belgium>>> RS133 / Wind K4M cams progress
 
Winter tyres off, summer tyres on and so far, it's mainly been peeing down :( although a couple of dry corners last night realy felt good and they seem to be reasonably good and predictable in the wet which is proving to be a good thing so far

Made somebodys day earlier. Drove into the post office carpark to be greeted by a shout of "wow, cool car" and a broad beaming smile.

He was probably only 4 but already has good taste. His mum laughed ::lol
