First udate on the car
had a few hours here and there in the week so hav started on a few small things but just waiting for some new injectors to come so untill then i have a bench of fresh painted bits and polished chrome ready for fitting

the car was running very lumpy when i had it so my mate came round to hav a look after we got it running ajusted the cam as was 1 tooth out new spark plugs (bargin lol) dizzy/rotor bit of timing an now is running sweet all needs now is a cam belt an follower as its noisey.

startin buying bits for it so got a set of blue samco boost hoses(thx gup)
bailey twin piston d/v the trumpit one very loud so the neibours say(complain) lol
new black/silver plates with my name on
thats bout it for now as im skint now lol
cheers mart

mart33

had few hours on the car today as got few new bits so put them on:
brand new injectors as the old ones werent surplying anuff at full boost and get a gd trade price so worked out cheaper new than rebuilt.
new hoses from from ecu to d/v an inlet.
fitted all my hoses and built the inlet side up with all new gaskets and other little bits.
fitted new black plates looking very illigal but very nice lol:P

then came starting it up but nothing the starter wasnt working afta finding that the starter wire was loose and all melting it worked and runs v smooth just needs a good set up now.

now just gotta swap the old toad alarm with my new toad ai606 with few extra sensors that shud be fun as the wireing is a complete bodge tbh but all will be good wen im finished any advice on fitting that alarm with the window closure sensors?.

will hopefuly be taking to some shows this summer and a blast round the track

mart

madmack99

10th_racer

3 times we tried to drive it round the block, and on the 4th attempt it finaly made it back all on its own without having to open the bonnet lol.

i expect fonecalls off you now, its a regular thing, even when im at work, your at work, and the cars at home it still manages to break lol.

mart33

cheers mate its on 16's with koni adjusables all round gonna hav a play with the damping wen its on the road

mart

mart33

lol thats why u need clips on hoses or just blows them off lol and still ant got the clips now halfrauds dant have none big enuff so ill come c wat u got at work monday lol

cheek haha it dont break just sat there thats just the batery that goes flat then lol

10th_racer

oh ye thats a point, it didnt actually make it round the block on its own because we had to nick bits off my car to make it work lol.

mart33

ye well atleast urs works for a change to make it to mine to nick the clips off it lol

hunterlaar

very nice, love the colour

mart33

Well hello decided to take the dash out today to make swaping my alarm ova easyer due to the engine wiring being very messy and i carnt stand untidy wiring there no excuses for bodgeing it tbo.
so took the dash out to find this hmm Now were to start lol






most are just just cut off haging loose so no idea were they go of for wat so iv borrow my mate haynes manual for a bit of help

also found a bit of welding under the window screen but its all looks very solid under there and the floor due to new panels so 1 thing came good of ripping it out.

mart

10th_racer

you managed to get it out in the end then, my trusty haynes manual lol.

some very tidy wiring there.

mart33

ye but it came out difernt to the way i said i was gonna as the bottom bolt is in the engine bay so took the bracket bolts out an the bit slid ova the top of it.

na not at all ull have to have a look to see how messy it is but just gonna wire the alarm and my cd player block in and just tape it up and cable tie it out the way lol (got loads a cable ties spare as u no)lol
mart

10th_racer

ye you best use those cable ties for something seen as your cleaver idea of using them to hold the boost hoses on didnt work lmao.

mart33

haha yep that the plan well was a quick test to see if it would start and it did just didnt like to be driven with boost lmao
hav u spoke to jayden today he prob saw us at the top of the road broke down lol

cossiecrew

lol this is a blast from the past

mart33
