ah yes I knew he/they had the last lot, didnt realise thats where you got it from lol
I dont think the headunit will be power related...but you never know...if you were closer I would have said bring it down and I can put it on the test bench and see if we can see whats up with it

Tbh I dunno
It goes like a bas*ard now... Traction's the main issue in 1st,2nd and 3rd... Will just max the injectors or turbo out and see what it does
Corsa fuel filter picked up this morning
OpieOils order should be with me on Monday
Borrowed a air rivit gun this afternoon
Will finally be able to put 4 new rivits in the rear arm rest... Now the new trim can go in

Finally fitted the tubular manifold
Wasn't a straight forward job, will have to come off for a few adjustments soon but it fits
I've ordered some heat proof matting for the bonnet underside
Also ordered a few bits to modify the bonnet release cable, hopefully be able to relocate the cable inside the slam panel
I'll need to trim the slam panel alittle more
I'll have to source some other bolts to bolt the manifold to the turbo, the Allen key heads are a pig to get on with this manifold ( anyone running a tubular manifold what have you used? )

About time you just got it done now... It's been a while
Never mate, it's a keeper... Just slowly perfecting the spec
Good luck fitting them, I need to try mine again, I swear the brackets I purchased are just wrong... I'll look into it

Had a good half day trying to iron out a few issues all because of the exhaust manifold upgrade
Rerouted the bonnet release cable alittle and used some heat protective sleeving round it for now, at a later date I'd like to drill the mechanism and route all the cable within the slam panel...
I've used some more heat protective sleeving over water pipes near by to the exhaust manifold
Changed the original Allen key headed bolts from the manifold to turbo for some 17mm headed bolts
Replaced all the gaskets, manifold spacers...
Also trimmed the slam panel alittle more to allow for engine movement
I've added some under bonnet heat protection
Found my red poly exhaust rubbers, fitted them and tweaked exhaust Backbox alignment
Moved iPhone/ pod connection for head unit from the glovebox to the centre console where the tape storage is... Was a pain putting phone in the glovebox
Give it a quick detail...
Plan to fit the 90's spec interior tomorrow, change steering column bush
So more pics tomorrow 8)
Thursday were finally mapping and adding some much needed extra boost...
Friday I'll be getting the machine polishers on it to get it looking it's best for Fordfair

As always yes
Although I'm seriously thinking about passing on Fordfair 2017... With the new ticket system and prices I've had enough of it...
Think I'm gonna try some different shows next year with it for a change... I'm happier attending local shows, seeing different cars...

We've been out mapping today with the Orion
We've not increased the boost, just ironed the map out to make it drive better, and tweaked the map as and where needed due to the manifold upgrade
Drives really nicely now, and is quite a handful on boost
I've put 180 miles on it while out today
This manifold upgrade has caused no end of grief, today while out mapping every now and then the bonnets been popping up into the safety catch
After much tweaking it seems to be good again, but didn't dare do any high speed mapping on the motorway with this issue
I've ordered another new bonnet cable and latch mechanism to modify
Unfortunately I've now got a high spot in the bonnet where the new manifold must be pushing on the bonnet when on boost
The high spot hasn't broke the paint, so it'll tap down... I know PDR So it's easy sorted
But I need to sort the clearance out before sorting the bonnet
Anyone with a tubular manifold had to lower the engine and box in the bay?
I'm thinking of spacing the engine mount and box cradle down 5mm might just give me the space needed?

Gotta stick with the manifold now the slam panel has been cut
Just means more modifying
It'll be worth it, the difference with this manifold on is unbelievable
I'll try spacing the mounts after Fordfair a long with more new bits
Interior goes in tomorrow
It's had a scrub with G101 so it's minty fresh for Fordfair
I'll post pics of the interior after Fordfair

Well we made it to and from Fordfair 2016...
Still a few bits to tweak...
Had a good day, usual Fordfair tan... First year taking littlen to Fordfair, bummer forgetting the buggy... Oh well
Nice to have a complete 90's spec interior in the Orion... ( New retrimmed front seats are still in the making, just waiting on some more material)
Didn't really take many pics, a couple on stand...
And some once back home all clean again...
And the new interior finally...
Nice to see it all finally come together
