    Remember this?

    It's back, and I have been busy replacing the old engine with a bigger one. I'm hoping to get it ready by the 6th Feb licensing day and planning to do the BDC 2010, but it's not easy working on the drive with such weather.

    This is the progress so far.

    looks really good mate,

    But why did you choose to swap the engine instead of building the old one?
