    Barge, awesome artwork now I know where your guitar design talent comes from! In our house apart from guitars and everything else related building model aeroplanes or anything else that flies is the flavour of the moment. We currently spend quite a bit of time naffing around with a remote control helicopter which is fun.

    I used to love building model airplanes as a young fella, I could probably still rattle them all off if I thought about it. Had a Lancaster bomber (1:72) which used to be my favorite.

    Bargey - Nice art mate, also:

    if it is a crank or cam sensor, you'd most likely get fail to start in general. It might be intermittent, but not as likely...

    It sounds like fuel vaporisation.

    Computers arent that scarey, they simply coordinate the sensors and inputs, and adjust stuff like timing and fuel flow etc accordingly.

    Cars for me too. Had a 1.6 mk4 Golf and put in an Audi A3 1.8 turbo. Stage 2 tune and downpipe, lowered, and stuff. Plenty of computer fiddling. Still have a garage full of bits to go in it.

    I also do mechanical watch builds and repairs.

    Build looks really interesting Stan, cool stuff alright:-)
    It's not that I find computers scary, they just frustrate me when I fix something, reset and still receive the same error code coming up. I'm literally throwing money down the toilet with this car.
