Not that I can see, Haynes has "Build your own sports car on a budget" and "off-road buggy for as little as £100" to name a few

Yeah, it's fully working. Press the start button and the electric motor on the flywheel turns the crankshaft, pistons move, timing belt turns the camshaft which has a distributor on, which lights led's to simulate spark plugs and then the inlet/exhaust valves open/close. The battery box even gives revving sounds when the engines turning.

it does that Steve, motor only runs for about 5seconds at a time though. About enough for 2/3 sparks

it will have the same power as your 1.1 rich?

Is calling it build your own internal combustion engine not a bit of false advertising since its electric lol

Impressive, reminds me of this segment of an old JC programme...

Yeah, downloaded them a while back. Trouble with Dave is though that they edit the episodes down so you miss at least 5 mins or more of the original content. Can be as much as 10-15 with a Top Gear episode, which is a little annoying.
