for the first time in about 4 years lol.

only 100 yards up the road and back to check that the brakes worked after i bled them... and they did.

one thing that i cant seem to sort is the fooking exhaust leaking...

got a new v band clamp, so the turbo to down pipe is not leaking now, but where the downpipe joins the middle secion it leaks, and it leaks rom the middle section to rear join.

done the clamps up as tight as i feel they can go before breaking... so whats next?

just a few wiring bits to finish, and a slight oil leak from the turbo drain to sort, and modify the screamer pipe as the wheel rubs it on full lock...

then its a full nut and bolt check, insurance, mot and map.

couple of pics!! more in my resto thread!!!







fao beefy: more on page 31 of my resto

 

Finally

 

Exhaust will sort itself with use i expect

Hope all goes well for you Dan

Steve

 

bloody hell get the buntin out

nice one

 

NASA put a man on the moon and Fudgy put his car on the road.....

i dunno which is more amazing lol

 

one thing, i dont think it will make it on track

the fucking noise of it lol. i dont think it went over 3k rpm, but the missus said i was a twat as it shook the windows

might have to get a massive silencer that goes accross the rear bumper.

its a 3" straight through system, with one big box at the rear

 

well, im no rocket scientist, but i have done 90% of the work myself!

 

Nice one Dan

 

any recent pic's?

 

great happy to hear that.

 

stu, not yet mate. it got dark buy the time i had finished it, and it desperatly needs a wash. the fucking cats have covered it in muddy footprints!

and im not allowed to shoot them

will try and get it out and washed this week, and get some pics!

if i get home from work early, but i can pretty much tell that wont happen...

 

top man, pics ?

 

only whats in my resto thread, but no recent ones just yet!

im on the case, ish...

 

fudge , if your planning on taking some fresh pics ,

any chance of a cpl of your pedal box installation mate ,

esp the mountings bud ,


much appriceated


beef

 

well done dan,i dont want to hear anymore talk of you breaking it lol
will you get it livemapped ?

 

there are a couple of pics on page 10 of it, and another on page 28 where i had some extra supports welded in as i thought i may twist off under heavy braking.

also, i fitted some alloy bushes inside the square tube so when it was all clamped up, it wouldnt squash the tube.

 

james, yes once its ready, hopefully chip will still come round and do it on the way to the mot lol.

although i might enquire about going over to m-tech in westbury, as they are now doing mots, and then chip can map it on their rollers if they will do that.

 

Nice one dan, at last you can think about actually enjoying it.
now all you've got to put up with is all them queer look when people see its a zetec and not a yb if you go to shows

 

Take it the passionford.com donations helped

One step closer well done

 

That hayward and scott exhaust is a load of shit Fudge!

it dont fit the turbo. the screamer pipe catches the front tire and will melt it, and fail the MOT..

when paying 1K for an exhaust, you dont really want it to 'sort itself out'
it needs to pass an MOT before the car can move, lol and it wont with that massive exhaust leak, and catching the tire.

Thought you might of tried to drive it today.... Hope you filled it up with wate before you did!

 

Jesus....didn't realise you still had that shed lol

 

Nice - With those left to sort you should have it on the road by 2013!

 

 

Nice one

Let me know if you need any help mapping it for the MOT etc and I'll pop over.

 

I thought this got broke? Good job on getting it done tho

 

so when you gonna break it then?

 

Congrats, but Ł1k for an exhaust that leaks, don't fit and is too loud for track.
I would not be happy, and would not be sorting it out myself.

 

pmsl at everyone slating the hayward and scott zorst

ps> I also would not be sorting it myself, especially as it has cost a grand. I'd get the car or zort to them asap.

 

why wouldnt I?? ive seen first hand what they have done on that car
and know that fudge isnt happy. And I deffo wouldnt be happy either if it was my car.

 

did it fuck, not one bastard quid was given

 

the main leak was turbo to downpipe, but after loosening all clamps and fitting a decent v band, its no where near as bad as it was, but it still leaks fromt he other 2 joins a bit...

and yes, i put water in it!

 

hopefully before then!

working 12 hours a day and most weekends means that most of my spare time is spent with family...

 

chip, will do mate. been meaning to speak to you about it again actually

ranj, they are at the other end of the country, so will cost more to take it back than it will for me to buy some parts and mod it myself... also it didnt cost 1k, but wasnt far off

so thats another thing on the list

and no, its not getting broke!

 

good news dude.. About fookin time though lol

 

pom, where have you been hiding??

and yes, it is about time!

 

 

Nice!

Best of luck finishing it off.. the light at the end of the tunnel must be getting bright!

 

yes simon, it almost is lol

as promised i got home from work early, dragged it out and washed all the muddy cat footprints off and TOOK SOME PICS!

its about halfway through uploading to photbucket, but its taking ages!

will post em as soon as they are done, if i havnt fallen asleep

 

pics added
