shorty

Looks savage! Stunning colour bud

Ram horn td series on my old v, same kits on the ep85 now.

Is a mint basicaly stock v in white with white wantabe alloys on down the road from me and forgedV, is driven by a middle aged couple. soooooo clean! Used to get a fair few oem jdm minters round here what with the docks and the import aution house in southampton, that was a good few years back now though as the trade has died out alot

They seemed realy decent, the lad who had the red ferrari said he heard some peopke complain but he has never been spoken to personaly by a resident, and when asked what he would do if he was he said he would respec thier wishes and do what was needed to apease their unhappiness!! Cant say fairer than that can you. they where all sound lads with lots of money amd cool cars but still very polite. As above typical brits who moan about an issue they arnt preperd to confront. This works across most of the car scene tbh we all get tared with the "disrespectful, pain in the arse" brush when the large majority of car modders/lovers are nice polite people who just want to unwind with their car for fun.

I have to agree that all the residents where racist, as at one point when the posh toff was chatting to the copper, he kept complainig about "them" coming to the uk and how he didnt like that the town was changing with all the "cultures" and how it used to be a proper town etc etc they bring alot of money to the area and it is just a few weeks. Also love tgat bird called panda! Haha when sge took the camera man to the roof to show him the view of the housing estates in the distance and starts yarping on about how the super cars spoil the sense of comunity!! Pmsl she lives in a 5million quid apartment what does she know of comunity haha

Looking good dude, lovin it!!

Ill post pics of my custom front exit once grants made it up. Also me and grant will be taking a proper look at the full system in the future bud so dont panic, we have a good few ideas in the pipeline lol

Have to agree, the idea is its a full sleeper, so the crappier they look the better!!!

another small update, stripped the rear out properly now so that i can start finishing off the interior, two rear quater panels left and its all stripped sorted through the ton of crap in the car too so its no longer a working shed its now just a project build. carpets have all been binned too. Realy not that much to do now, i WILL be at the shows this year in this car!!!

Hell of an engine you have just bought bud ;)

Im in the same boat, massive spec engine and no paper work but tbh dude any one who doubts the engine shouldnt buy it simple, those of us that kniw of it know its a great engine and imo priced to cheap. if the word of sevral longterm members isnt as good as paper work and the offer of a bore camera inspection then i dont know what is!! Taking a perfectly good engine apart for no reason seems silly to me. Also no biggy on the hoses ;) let me know if they dont sell for some bizzare reason.

Love it!! Also love how the cage has only ever been in black v's since it came to england ;) this car makes me miss my v big time!

Will you split the roose hoses? I only need the ps hoses as i have the others. if so pm a price and ill pay now dude.

Long shot i know, bump

I will, i just get a lil unmotivated and just see an aweful lot of cash sat their that could be in my bank instead lol. once its on the road and im green laneing and try to sty out of bushes when pushing to hard it will all be worth it again

Not the end of the world to not have ps tbh just heavy to park at low speed. all 82's have ps iirc

Lmao its 200 miles lads, i flew to scotland and drove the 85 back, drove to northampton to collect a bonnet, to midelsbrough to buy my levin, to manchester for an exhuast and i live in southampton lol its only a two and a half hour drive each way, costs half a day to possably gain a car

Baaahahahahaaaa! You wont sell because you know just how much you will miss it! Same as i wont sell even though i think of it all the time. every one comes back to them, and yea you have another stored up but THIS car is a one off, FACT! Mk1's just dont come around like this. hondas are dull and when you sundley miss the boost one day it will dawn on you what you have sold and cant get back

And get the ultimate not the blue. no matter what set up you get tge ultimate has far better maping ability and paramiters to tune. worth the extra money mate.

Of course its never dead on balls acurate like say calculating the size ofa steal beam as weather heat fuel etc etc will constantly change but id say its very very close and id be happy using it if i need to calc my injectors. but i jave 550's sat here already lol. defo should be pasted some where as is very useful to have that for ref for future builds imo.

Cheers guys, your positive thoughts and comments help to keep me at it.............. That and i think grant will actual kill me i i sell up haha!!! (seriously, he will its not a joke!)

Adam thats awesome!! Needs to be cut and pasted to wiki for future use! And no dave its not a rule of thumb lol its maths so as its the pricipal of fuel flow rates id say "adding a bit on" throws the maths out the window lol. if you have the correct info to input for any car then the maths equations will still be the same equations.

Alot of the loom, ignition etc is custom bits not megasquirt specific iirc.

Oh also athena headgasket, nothing but!!! I've ran oem and cruise and they are shit athena are fantastic! I only use them now and also arp'd the shit out of my engine last time i gave it a refresh. but i just like adding to the engine spec list lol mine silly now haha

Injector size realy depends on your mapper tbh dude, you idealy need to be close to maxing as you dont want a 1000cc injector at 50% duty as you get more of a dribble than a spray. maybe drop grant a lil pm, not sure how much he knows of dta but he has built his own standalone megasquirt kit, loom, sensors, ignition system etc etc, take a look at his shrek build. lol hes fookin nuts! His car is race standard not modded car lover standard ;) puts the pp boys to shame when they had the green on lmao.
