can I delete this thread? keeping the car so really this thread is not needed...

Does everyone else have their Davrian steering column between the brake and the clutch? Is there any other option to route it a bit more north so driving is a bit more comfortable?

I made my own and I'd say £175 is excellent value. It took me days to produce front and rear brackets and modify the discs.

I filed out the fiesta holes to match the right PCD but use a 1mm additional strip welded to the hub to centre them properly.

so in order to be scientific about this I've ordered a cheap decibel meter from Ebay which has a DC output of 0-1.3v representing 30-130 dBA which I can connect through my MS3X generic input board and datalog using Megasquirt. This will then let me do a scatter plot heat map of decibels vs engine lo...

I suppose one question would be has anyone sat in a quiet Davrian? A running one! I don't think tyre noise is the issue as when coasting if I flick the engine off it all goes quiet as you'd expect.

Absolutely stunning work! My Mk3/6 is pretty well identical in many places. Did you replace the tanks in the end? Mine were porous. How are you planning on hanging the engine? I dislike the connection of the engine hanger to the ARB, what are your thoughts? Almost all cars are already down this road...

Update, I decided to hang onto the Davrian. I've had this for umm a long time now and can't hope to get a return on the investment. So time to make it more of a friendly daily driver instead...
