Yes I have and had fitted the a/c comp prior to this day, though I couldn`t get the wheel off to remove the insides.
On the way to the event the car flew up on normal road use, just went off the boil around the track later on due to the belt wear and then a loss of boost pressure.
I shall post pics of the worn belt and dust accumulation.
Strangely, without the now snapped balance belt the engine seems to run a lot smoother, can the engine be run for any length of time without a balance belt?

Sounds like your balance shafts were not aligned correctly. And yes, you can run the car without the balance belt, but it will vibrate more than a properly "balanced" car. Vibration usually causes problems with the oil pickup tube.

No reason for an apology. Chris and I email each other daily about the SC setup, so I have a bit more information that what appears on this thread. I also think that you need to start a thread about your car!

Going to be off this thread for a while with the s/c development.
After the balance belt shredded itself, knocked out the side of the cover and cracked the distributor cap, lucky to get home the 172 miles as the cam belt was split in 2 over 30%, I`m attempting to change all the belts and rollers. Got the front stripped and parts off and on order.
Can someone point me to a thread on here for changing/fitting the cam/balance belt/ rollers and in particular the timing set up.
Cheers
Going to be a long lay up this winter

for nowAs for a good reference, I always use www.clarks-garage.com
The good news about doing the front end, it gives you plenty of time to drink beer with your mates while working in the garage

All the internals were done quite recently, rings, valves, guides, cams, cam chain, etc, etc, along with the belts 
and many £££££££££££££`s
So don`t know why they decided to give up.
It`s the winter lay up now, so time time do it all, though £££££££££££££`s are few at the moment.
It will give me time to sort an i/c install, sort out bonnet vents and so on.
Drinking beer on my own in the garage gives me ideas, that no one can argue with
Good luck with the upcoming events

If you can set my timing up, pop down for a weekend 
I have the larger pulley on route to address the track s/c install, from Carl on it`s way, but going to be next year at least before this develpment from my point goes further.
In the mean time, those out there that previously bought this kit and posted, how you getting on, any feedback

Chris, good luck with the work. You seem pretty determined you will get there in the end. I have spent the last 3 years getting my car right and I just got it back running again yesterday having swapped various combinations of parts until I got it tight and running like a factory install before I once again return to the dyno to get that elusive final tune right! Modifying these cars is not for the feint hearted!
