It's a bit battered as I have had it for about 14 years now. The MX5Restorer fitted a Mk2 engine and did a lot of rust removal over the last couple of years.

I've finally managed to find a second hand (no longer available new) Aquamist Race pump for my ERL water injection just got to fit it when I get back from my summer break.

Yeah, thanks, I've been searching for the pump for over a year and had started putting top loader intercooler bits together. Really fed up with not being able to floor it! Just need to install the pump, re-tune and then tidy things up!

W/I pump fitted and working after a period of disassembly and head scratching. Car pulls well now but my Knocklight still lights up a bit, I'll need to re-tune so a new wideband sensor has to be fitted as mine is fried. More later.
