Neversimple Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Jelly I just read through your build all the highs and lows and wow that's a hell of a build mate. I will definitely come up for a visit sometime cause believe it or not I have never seen a V in the flesh apart from mine, and mine ain't the prettiest (still smells of Sushi I think). It would be an education for me I wont be able to bring mine up yet because well its not registered yet. I will PM you my details. Stay strong my plan for mine is time attack too was going to target the entry level clubman events. JayC we all love the A12 at least you dont have the A14 sticking its oar in too:( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jellybaby Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 so today I got time to go down the garage and uncover the little shit for the 1st time in a few months started her up and let her run a little at idle just to get her warm and make sure no leaks etc after that I stumbled across a genuine sard fpr so I decided to remove my current one which was to big for my liking. it was mounted over my brake servo but I don't like the location for it as to cramped with all the pipes and wires etc around that area so I have removed the fuel lines and now looking for a better location to mount it. I have removed the turbo from the mani in prep for removing the mani to go get ceramic coated so can reduce my engine bay temps. then I have the tasking of removing my cams amd fitting stock ones then setting about the reshim the cams that's the pain in the ass bit hahah I am also going to remove my flocked dash as I am not happy with the look due to it been cut for a through dash cage so I have arranged to swap with a member on here for his normal one as he is having a cage fitted sooner then I am. other little bits I am looking out for is a rear sturt brace and c piller bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jellybaby Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 So today I fitted my fpr and set base pressure at 2.4 bar. I decided to get a rear entry fmic set up as my current hdi core and pipes are making it difficult to fit my bumper. so just awaiting reply’s now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jellybaby Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 So due to a crap start of the year and my health not being so great. I am very tempted to start breaking the car or sell it how it is as a whole. Unfortunately the scene these days are full of youngsters who has no idea about the money you have to spend to get a good reliable hp starlet. Which is once reason I in two minds to sell or break. Tgis is car has cost me excess 20k easy and over maybe 200 hours of labour and I so close to sorting issues out with her but just lost faith. I joined this fourm bk in 2007 and unfortunately I seen a decline of people act enjoying what fun these cars can do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
