Jellybabyj v carbon fibre wings arrived


Recommended Posts

So I got a phone call today from

The mapper giving me bad news my clutch pedal decided to give up the ghost during the map don't no what's caused it yet poss slave but was new or it is my clutch master cylinder so that's one thing

Anouther is that they noticed a fair amount of tapping on my head which is making listing for deternation hard.

Think it is valve shims anouther set back

I so far spent 2700 at the place for various things I wanted to be done including the partial map.

So now I got to bring the car home find out why the pedal gone hopefully it fluid related and not clutch but mapper said it just lost Pedel and decide what to do with the shims I might go Toyota as I have a trade account.

It a pain and now having to take a 700 quid pay cut I am now haven't got a clue what to do

Mine taps like hell.

Need to investigate the pedal msn, maybe its leaking slightly..

It seems bad by what the mapper said through the det cans.

Yer was running fine then just lost the pedal I just hope it not internal fault but got to get car bk to colchester now from the place then work out what's gone wrong

Be rare if the mc failed.. but there is a first as they say.

When you getting it back?

Yer looks

Like it was a pipe has popped from

Phone call I got and they checking to valve clearances for me then I will order the shims and fit them my self.

I

Got to decide if I calling it a

Day ATM and bring it home and save some money to finish the map as current bill is 2700 but they have done a lot of work on the car in other

Areas most of it is labour tbh but that what u get by a good tuning company a high labour rate lol

Get pipe back on..

Give it some boost and a map.

Need to see how it reacts to boost before re shimming..

The mapper recommend that they b checked due to it hard to hear the det prop through the det cans and it was bloody loud tapping from

The head. It better to get them sorted then carry on mapping to be on safe side at end of day it what a extra 59-100 quid if I need a few shims from Toyota

Didnt you check them though?

Mines really quite tappy nothing worth breaking over.

What about the clutch issue and further clues?

No they being checked ATM down at

The mappers to see how many are out.

They just want to give me the best map possible

Looks like it is just a lose connection on my braided clutch line

So

Update from the checks the clearances are fine how ever my cam followers are wrong for the type of cams I have fitted which is causing the lobe of the cam catching on the

Followers and trying to push the shims out.!

So the cams in there are now ruined so need to sorce a new set of cams or a good second hand

Set.

My question is what power can the stock cams take ?

Stock cams are not the restriction.

So stock cams r fine mate..

I run stock cams and plenty others do in the 300bhp bracket..

Perfect I managed

To get a set local to me so b getting them

At the weekend then got to get car back to mine from

Lakeside then fit the new cams and seals etc

More bloody expensive.

Don't help having 3k tuning bill lol but should b able to sort that

Well well I not posted for donkeys 

what a hell of a start of a year I had which is leading me this way in possible selling up. 

 

Since the new year I been battling a very serious mental illness which has cost me financially and also physically 

 

i also have split split from my partner of 5 years and have a little one of 3 years old 

I have not touched the car since it come bk from the tuners with the issues of me having to sorce stock cams and also new shims which I have now got. How ever I at the stage where I not got time to work on her to get it ready for the dyno again. 

I also have a massive list of snagging to get through on it as well as decide what to do to reduce engine by temps. 

 

So as it stands the car including buying it in 2007 is 25k 

todays market I get aprox maybe 8-9 if fully working. 

Stripping it I prob make little bit more but hassle of waiting for people to want bits. 

 

I really don’t no what to do I was going to poss crowdfund and compete in a time attack series but that’s a long shot.
