So basically yesterday was spent making a 6mm plate to fit between the manifold flange and the decat pipe flange. The bend in the decat just (and i mean it was barly nothing) touched the driveshaft. After a few hours machining and grinding the plate was finished. Had to pop to ford to pick up another 170 gasket. Bolted it all on and it fits perfect. Plugged in the lambda sensor and that was all done.







Then we moved onto the rest. Filled the gearbox with oil...it took ages to fill too..... but we got there in the end. Got the engine filled up.
Then it was run time......... Popped the key in and turned once.... thankfully the imobiliser was playing ball (as i thought this might be a problem area) and all the lights came on... Thinks were looking up. 2nd click and the fuel pump sounded which was also a very good sign.........3rd click she held on the starter motor for about 10 seconds then fired! I was extattic. There are a few problems at the moment. The fans are on pretty much from startup....anyone know why this would be?? And also i have a battery light on even tho my volt gauge is showing a good charge (13.7v at idle and 14.1v when the fans cut in)


Ive got to pop back to the workshop today to put the bumpers back on and tidy some bits up then its time for a drive i think. Ill pop all the pics up later on. Thanks for all the support guys...

Ok this is how shes is sitting now..... All finished...
Just need to sort out the fans (in need of a cylinder head temp sensor)




Enjoy!
