Happy chappy
 
Another dark side Cobra roars to life!



I had problems with not enough power to the computer via the ignition switch so a few short cuts were taken to get it started. Who cares, after 3 yrs it's a very sweet sound to my ears. :3DSMILE:

Thanks especially to Marty Govert and Justin (Sideshow wiring) for helping me with the tricky bits these last few weeks.

Another month and it should be ready for a road test. :)

Nice one Sambo!

That should have got the neighbour's attention. :3DSMILE:

I've played it three times!

Happy Chappy sums it up! That LS sounds sooooo smooth! Well done Paul.

Well Done Paul,

That smile on your face explains it.

Luv your hi-tech on/off switch.

They do sound great with just the headers on.

Well done, I think we can all remember the rush of the first start up!

boxhead 09-23-2010 05:06 PM

Great stuff Paul, I think the start up "startled" the camera operator.

sambo 09-23-2010 05:39 PM

Yeah I warned the better half but she still wasn't prepared.

Thanks to all. I've got a HD camera with roll bar mount ready to go, so there will be plenty of youtube goodness in the months to come.

Thanks Stiffy. It definitely feels that way now. :3DSMILE:

Doubledip 09-23-2010 10:01 PM

Glad it is all up and running :)

Congrats Paul on main engine start, can't wait to see the video of the launch :LOL:

Cheers

Outwest34au 09-24-2010 07:43 PM

Well done,
and I reckon the tether kill switch is a perfect failsafe in case it falls off the stands and rolls away LOL.
The first start up isn't always a winner, but the first real startup is memorable.

My best mate getting his jollies yesterday. :JEKYLHYDE

Very happy!
 
Paul

When you take him for a spin on the road you will clearly need some plastic seat covers!!

Sounds great. Well done.
