This'll scare the neighbours ....

Much better

Thanks for the spindle fella

All about done apart from the water routing .I need to get some Ebay bits to mate it all up to the bottom hose .
Electric pump is all wired up I just need to splice it in to the radiator hose and block off the heater matrix feed .I need a shorter alt belt as well .About this long .....

Thanks for the belt info Herr Law Das ist funken fitten spot on

Belt and water routed , just waiting on a pipe and it can go in properly .Fingers crossed the clutch will disengage ......


Feckin typical though ...I need to replace the gear linkage bush ....

You"ll be getting good at that then!!!

Looking good Lovejoy, you still looking at a drag event for it's first outing?

Hi Lee, did you manage to space out the starter and solid mount ok? If not, will probably need to rubber bush your spacers. Let me know if this is still a problem and I'll
have a look at anything I have that might do it. Back on Sunday.

Spaced it out but no real way of knowing until it is back in and the engine catches .It certainly sounds different when cranking on the bench .
I now have said missing pipe to plumb the bottom hose in so all being well it should be in and running early next week .
CC will need sorting ..
Italian fella has no stock , though he is a listing the fecker buy it now and I did ....waiting on his supplier before he cana shipa the pump ....Dio Gio I think his name is

Dio Gio I think his name is

LOL.

It's in for real ,runs well ,chargecooler done ,clutch is OK
Had it out for a spin and it feels fine .Time to bed the rings in then off to POD on Friday .It won't be mapped and the turbo is way to small but hope to get some mapping done down the strip

If anyone wants to pop along ,it's free to get in and watch or you can run for about £60 ish if you ask nicely






JIL is back

The babe is back ...bouncing babe I mean

Thurs / Fri both booked off, so all set my side. Let me know if anything needed in the mean time. Take it the Quality Used Part oil cap is still dripping slime?

Well done Lee, hope it goes well for you at the strip....

Lee, once you have broken the rings in to shape nice and snappy, can you get each cylinder compression test numbers for me please.
We can do a proper leak-down test after pod, but would like to know what the balance of the compression numbers is looking like before going

Thanks,
Martin
