Dan Evans Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 WOOHOO!! PASSED THE MOT!! got the girl taxed aswell, and been driving her all day, FOOK ME ITS QUICKER LOL....2 small problems though, first is when on full boost (1bar) it sort of missfires, it used to do it a while ago i then changed the king lead, and it stopped, im not sure if the plugs and leads need uprating, wot you guys think??second, is that the engine management light comes on when you go over 2500 revs every now and again, also any ideas??I will get some photos of her tommorow, and i gotta say it looks beautiful.... but dirty at the moment lolcheers..

Idrees Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Nice to hear it. In regards to the engine management light appearing, check the knock sensor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 cheers guys will do..also, heat ranges on plugs, what would you recommend for it? (i take it the higher the range the better yeah???) sorry, bit noobish with plugs lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Evans Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 **UPDATE**Ok guys well after getting the car on the road for a massive 2 days, i had the engine management light come on, which was only the knock sensor that needed to be re-placed, GREAT, re-placed that and all was well..... for 35 mins, the car sounded like a scooby, so got home to find oil had gone everywere!!! did a compression test to find cylinder 3 had shit itself, so the re-build begins....Im in the middle of taking it out at the moment, and going to have it forged and totally CLEANED!!!The complete Bay will look totally different and be alot cleaner looking, 4-5 months from now and she will be back...... :surrender: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Evans Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 **update**well the engine and box are nearly ready to come out, just needs the shafts removing and its ready, i cable tied the cables to the fire wall for more space and removed the starter motor, took the exhaust system off and unplugged everything..Once its out all the piping is getting replaced with new ones, just cant wait to start cleaning it all.im going to drop them engine through the bottom rather than crane it upwards..
