LukeSR Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Nice work mate, bet you cant wait till' shes finished :harhar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 yes im so happy it runs. unbelievably happy. i just dont get how if it all worked before it should work now :harhar:. think the leak is comin from the main pipe at the pump. i suspect i havent tightened it enough. ill get some clips tomorrow and see if it helps the idle. think i need a long sleep though. just thinkin about wiring is sendin my mind crazy. forgot how good the engine sounded. cant wait for a drive. ill maybe get a wee video but for now it is rest time .

Sparky Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Mint mate love your work got that done in no time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 lol im happy now . its runnin 1.2 bar but i wanna turn it down a bit just to be safe. unless it will be fine at 1.2 ??nah not a mechanic, im a bricklayer plans for the silver shell are to put it back to standard and use it as a work car or maybe sell it. yeh I've got the whole thing to do again buildin the silver one back up lol. i pick my dad up on the way to work everyday so he aint gonna be happy when he finds out .Russell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 things wear faster at 1.2 bar,saying that i slay my red v at 1.1 daily,bein sensible .9 to 1bar would make the most sense.you must be luving the speed though,kudos to you well done man! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stod_ep91 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Well done mate! was barely 2months ago you were in the silver one at EC! Need to take me a spin, give me some motovation to get mine swapped to a manual!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 cool. well to be honest im to cautious about police to boost about the place so it rarely sees 1.2 bar and only for a bit if it does . yeh im lovin the speed might wanna have a look at someones engine bay just to make sure I've got everythin where it should be.once i make sure everythings done properly i might come to jae this year. cheers Russell @stod this can be arranged. yeh i know. now tis all swapped apart from a couple bits.

Russleh Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 yeh i kinda thought that earlier. says im only boostin 12psi the now but im sure thats because I've squashed the hose that goes to the gauge lol. oil light is off now. my mate had put the oil pressure sensor plug onto the coolant temp sensor so fixed the oil light and the faulty temp gauge in one go. only prob now is driver side indicator doesnt wanna work lol. but i wont worry about that too much because my mot is in a year. yeh i know the box is fine just this particular guy just thinks everythings broken if he doesnt know about it . how you liking the new ride greame ? time to start building up the exsleeper now but ill need to buy a few bits that i chored. ie starter because the one on the fte broke and fix the oil leak its had for ages haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Just seen this conversion now, well done mate looks sweet. The FMIC piping looks too low to the floor though, is it supposed to be like that?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 yeh it was a bit low. gonna reroute the turbo side properly soon and ill need to cut the other side to try and raise it a bit. its a bit higher up than the pictures though after a bit of trimming here and there. sorry for the lack of updates folks just saving for wheels and gonna be sortin out the other car for a while.
