Sparky Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Right she started 1st time and there was a horrid knocking sound when we just blipped the throttle my heart sank........................But it must of been a bit of pinking because when it warmed up a bit and set the ignition timing it stopped. Engine runs and sounds sweet as a fucking nut Had some oil and powersteering leaks to sort out but that was no real problems.Bled the brakes and still had no pedal and also had a leak on one of the pipes we flared. Had the wrong flare on it so flared it again, stopped the leak, bled the brakes again and hey presto, we have brakes The Apexi is on there and not blowing but it is rubbing the car quite badly and vibrates like fuck, but its only temporary so I'll deal with it.Gave her a quick clean then so she is ready for the MOT tomorrow just need to stick the numberplate on and put the one final speed on the back, also dewiper'd it.Heres some picsAnd a video of the first start up, sounds like a bag of nails Sounding a bit better and idling nice Quote
