Cheers Col, be good to see yours back on the rollers doin the bizz

The brake hose is -3 The fittings I have, or had a list of somewhere, i'll need to have a look for the bit of paper with them on though, hopefully i'll still have it! I got the fittings and hose from a company in Linwood called 'Hydrafit' I took my M/S in and they done all the hard work! i'll have a look for that bit of paper.

cheers mate, you must have sore eyes now!
I've not actually wired the EFI loom in yet, im sure it's fairly straight forward though! + / - , fuel pump wire, rev counter wire...few relays to wire in and couple of fuses probably!? Will let you know soon hopefully!




Still got to crackle black things like inlet (one day)/charge pipe (cant decide wether to use FRST or ERST one, prob erst as the boost hose will fit...) thermostat housing and rocker cover.

Ok ok, not had an update in a while, not a great deal to update..

Rab's coming over to help me wire the ECU tomorow just need to decide where to put it, engine bay, or drill hole on bulkhead and put it inside the car? Hmmm

waiting on some bits, boot lock, parcel shelf supports, fuel pump holder..fitted some brand new rear bulb holders, got ellecy windows and central locking working, still need to get my skooshy motor working, hate wiring!

I've got all the fuel lines finnished, and 044 pump fitted, just need to mount the fuel filter which will take 5 minutes.. braided hoses to stainless steel pipe under the car

gave it, it's first wash yesterday as it was a little dusty!

next things to do after we wire the ECU are, exhaust either need a 3" downpipe or use a 2.5" downpipe ive got and make that fit my 3" system with a flexi?, gearbox selector shaft oil seal, put some fuel in it and it should be a goer! (in theory.), then fill box with oil, mod the frst charge pipe to line up better with the intercooler, fit the top boost hose, fit my carbon strut tops, get an air filter and then its ready for MOT once it's been on the rollers!
oh, cant forget to fit the DMB graphics decal's!
