As a result of our decision to run with throttle bodies midway through the build, we have removed the original loom and had a new custom loom created. This sounds mad, but we would have had to modify so much of the engine loom that it would be virtually new anyway. Fortuntely we were able to sell on the loom via the grapevine to another Birkin builder so we haven't lost out too badly.
Our new loom was designed, made up and fitted by G.R. Motorsport Electronics and should, quite frankly, be in an art gallery. Like all genuine motorsport devotees, the chaps there really know their stuff, and were incredibly good to us throughout the whole process. Despite the fact that we must be pretty small fish to them they made us feel like we were developing a Le Mans special! We went with a Motec M400 on the recommendation of our tuner (more anon) as it had the power and flexibility to give us the best chance of pasing emissions testing requirements. He is also an expert with the software, which helps!
