ep_brad Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 I could run it upto 0.8 just under fuel cut but i will just stick to running 0.6 until ive got enough money to get it set up the car came with a jam fcd wired in so just need a fuel pressure reg and i want an uprated fuel pump then take it over to Alan jefferys in plymouth. Still goes bloody well apart from this miss fire thats started i think the ht leads are buggered and are falling apart so ive got another set coming tomorrow hopefully that sorts it out. Quote
ep_brad Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Well the misfire it wasnt the plugs for leads etc so i done a compression test1=552=1603=1604=160So we knew it was something more serious then leads etc so me and a mate started to strip the car down to remove the headCams removedFinally head removedLoads of people on tgtt said that the piston or rings would have failed so i removed the sump and then the piston and conrodThese were in perfect condition with no signs of damage we were a bit stumped. After a closer look at the headgasket i noticed it had cracked between 2-3 but the compression was perfect in both of those cylinders The general state of all the cooling system was piss poor tbh and then we noticed the thermostat was fucked and didnt open when i put it in boiling water. But the car never went over half on the temp gauge and hasnt used any water. I then inspected the head and noticed that around the exhaust valve on number on there was a crack all the way around and the valve didnt sit properly.So the head is scrap I managed to source another one from here that should be here tomorrow and then i can drop it off to be skimmed. Ive also ordered genuine headbolts and gaskets from camskill along with a new thermostat, cam seals so fingers crossed it will be back together on saturday.While im waiting for parts i cleaned to the fuel rail and inlet manifold and sprayed them in sliver.I cant wait to drive it again its only done 18miles since mot Quote
Sparky Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Thats a strange one mate never seen that happen although I cant really tell from that pic, some good progress being made though, hope all goes well for you Quote

Sparky Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I bet mate, imagine how I feel!! Well at least its going to be sorted, plus looks like the headgasket was on its way out anyway, shall be sweet now Quote

ep_brad Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 woohoo its running again I just need a timing light to adjust the distributor and insure it again.I gave it a proper wash and polish today as it hasnt been done since last year and sorted out my wheels as the salt has got to them I started with 1500 grit followed by 2000 grit then metal polish and they have come up a treat Quote
Sparky Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Good news buddy looking awsome!!Your bay is sooooo neat and empty looking compared to mine! Quote
ep_brad Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 Well seeing as ive now sold my wheels and the car is on axle stands i decided to give the arches and calipers and lick of paint. The first coat it still drying and ive run out of paint so i will grab some more tomorrowand gave my exhaust a quick polish Seeing as ive sold my lenso rs5 to a member on here there was only 1 set of wheels i wanted. Of course fro's green rota clubstars should be here sometime this week i cant wait to get them fitted the old toytuning demo car Quote
Sparky Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Wow thats going to look nice with the bay Beat me to the green wheels though :) Quote

Fro Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 I see where that green theme is heading!! Car looks well Brad, hopefully everything runs smoothly for tomorrow. Guy reckoned those wheels might have came off the TT demo car but I wouldnt be too sure as you seen how things were when explained as "mint" look forward to fitted pics! Quote
ep_brad Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Finally received my rota clubstars after city link fucked up. Quote

ep_brad Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 it has been lowered i think it needs to settle as its been on axle stands and hardly driven in months. Quote
