    It's a G2X by Racepak. I had bigger plans for the unit to log all kinds of data but it never worked right for me so now I use it as a speedo, tach and lap timer only.

    Since the G2X they have much better units on the market. If I was to do it now I'd go with this Racepak Data Systems - Professional Motorsports Data Acquisition Systems

    Now that the engine starts up and runs it is time to tackle the exhaust.

    Lining everything up...

    I have the feeling based on old versus new that the new exhaust is going to need ear plugs when we stand by Gnat. :)

    I would love to hear another short video after the exhaust is hung and tuning begins. :)

    All I can say what an adventure to watch a MINI come back alive!

    At least it will not have that embarrassing rattle at idle!

    Here we have a bit more stuff being hung and in place
