Nice video, I always enjoy having some e9 content over my morning coffee.
I'm seeing 2 holes under the bumper for the mounting of under riders. looks funny with the light weight bumper.
Was the presence of the holes depending on the type of bumper; chromed steel (city pack?) or the lightweight black glass fiber one?

another thing that has me wondering:
at 24:40 in the video the car is run with the valve cover off, to show the valve train in action. An interesting view for me being an engine noob.
Now i was expecting to see a shower of oil coming from the oil bar as the engine is cranking over. But I'm not seeing any oil, not even a light drizzle: Is that normal? Shouldn't the oil pressure be build up after a 1 or 2 seconds?

The narrator mentions that the bar has tiny holes and you don't want a large volume of oil to be coming out as it's critical to keep oil pressure up for the main and rod bearings. He also mentioned that they are prone to blockage if the oil isn't changed regularly which I'd imagine would lead to excessive wear on the moving parts in the head.
He refers to the distributor as a centrifugal advance unit, but there's a vacuum pod attached.
I seem to remember something about the existence of a vacuum retard distributor, but maybe that was only a dream.
This looks like a vacuum advance distributor to me, all the centrifugal advance distributors I've seen have no vacuum attachments.
