Glanza Mac Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) well after alot of hard work today the car is finally running sweet, adjusted the fuel pressure etc but the fault was vaccum pipes.basically what i had done is put a vaccum pipe onto a water pipe (a)... Ooops but it was a case of quick, put all the pipes on as it should start and excitement got the better of me but now it is all sorted.idles at 1500rpm cold and 1000rpm at normal running temprature so all is good few little things ive had to do tho.1. remove my screamer pipe and left the tial wastegate just open as the screamer wouldnt allow my bottom radiator hose to go on 2. fill the car with coolant3. top up power steering4. move the radiator about for the mean time as i need to fab some new rad brackets5. solved a boost leak.. stupid shitty jubilee clips and old silicone hose (will be getting replaced)6. basically put all the little bits back together I.e bumper, strut brace etc.. even some new bits to make it look nice And last but not least 7. BOV'D a chav on the little test drive i had up the street Pictures shall be added soon Edited April 11, 2012 by Glanza Mac Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza Mac Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Small updateCarbon bits togetherSorta fittedOn the carBack of the car (not bad for 15-16 years of crap behind it)The car at work, stance before i changed my coilovers to new ones as the old ones were looking tired.Coilovers removed .. Drag slag?Stance at the front, didnt get one of the back.. dohhhBrakes being sand blasted and on the lathe as was looking a bit rustyOnes been done and one hasntOn the latheHad the car MOT'd also and it passed few things needed doing like the seats being placed in properly as i had just put them in with 3 bolts.. Ooops, coilovers failed but changed them over, emissions.. yeahh my emissions came out of a vauxhall vivaro's exhaust.. magical i know .One advisory was the backseats were missing which they are as i dont want them in lol.Overall good progress and the car should be back on the road within the next two weeks.. fingers crossed of course Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Currently don't have and big expensive plans for the car as I'm a student. I think TD04 maybe one day but I'd be happy with hybrid and around 200bhp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
