Nice pics The garage doesn't look that untidy I bet you know roughly where everything is though!

F

 

LOL, Almots everything

Its getting emptied when the car is finished, and re sorted.

 

Just changed the Insurance so its no longer insured for just being in the garage, but its now gone back to fully comp for road use. £58 to the end of april when the policy expires.

 

Looking like it's almost there..

 

Great work Steve lookin forward to seeing it in action again

 

Cheers

Managed to rebuild the power steering pump last night, then sort a few other things out, which i honestly cant remember.

Stripped the rear seats out and also remove the fuel pump assembly. Managed to sort the additional feed for the 2nd fuel pump, so it now just needs the second pump mounting to the bracket, then some wiring to power it.

Seats removed so i can feed the second fuel supply line through the cabin.

Turbo arrived yesterday , looks interesting, and i have removed the exhaust housing reading to get it ceramic coated.

Still making progress, all be it slow. Waiting on a few exhaust components, which should arrive today, also waiting on the return of the parts from the 2 powder coaters.

Steven

 

Excellent.. nice progress Steven.

 

Just had confirmation that the silver powder coated stuff should be at my house tonight by 7pm

 

Good news.

 

New Battery bought
Fuel pumps/assembly dropped off at DW's for electrical connections doing.
Samcos ordered, although they dont have red, so will have to get them later
Some exhaust bits have arrived!

Starting to look good!

 

just Lurking Steven, but definately a thumbs up!

 

Can you give details of what you're doing on the fuel system side Steven?
I'm needing help on what to do with running twin pumps. Options? etc

 

yeah I picked up on that, is it a twin walboro (or other!) pump setup on the same cradle in the tank?

How are you getting on with the MSD Steven?

 

Just collected some candy for you Steven, should be with you for consumption Friday am

Andy

 

Excellent andy.. does it look tasty???

David

 

does it look shiney?

 

Definately edible

 

LOL

Silver Powder coated stuf is home, and looks Big thanks to Paul Claydon from Hull for sorting this for me.

Looking forward to the Candy arriving, dont forget the clutch slave cylinders will you

Andy (peanuts), MSD unit is mounted in position, wiring now just needs connecting to the OEM loom.

Alan, yes its a twin walbro setup on the same cradle. I have drilled a hole in the OEM tank lid, and fitted a 90 degree bulk head fitting through that hole. Its now with David, to finish off the electric side of things.

I will take detailed pics of it when i get it back.

I have tonight managed to feed some teflon lined -6 hosing through the car (drilled a hole) near the nearside tank access lid, through to the drivers side access hole. It will then run from roughly under the rear passenger seat along the inside of the car through the bulkhead to the fuel filter mounted on the nearside suspension strut.

Again i will take pics, as much as i can whilst finalising it between now and sunday.

Decided if i want to run the car on sunday, i wont get the ceramic coating done in time, so it will be run it as is, then whip the various bits off and get them coated before 9th April, when it will hopefully have its 1st shakedown run at Elvington.

Steven

 

Brilliant stuff Steven, thanks. Appreciate the detail and pics would be great

 

All sounds good Steven , i will be up at elvington on the 9th doing a site meeting with CM for TOTB. Would be good to have a nose at the adaptor loom for the M800 before i make mine if you dont mind

Cheers

Dan.

 

And i thought i had a good night in the garage!
Good going to say the least.

We will need shades if we all go to elvington (trying to persuade the wife it will be worth going) and the bonet gets lifted..

Graham

 

@ G,

 

LOL @ G

Danny, no good looking at the ECU on mine, its the M800 plug and play version.

 

I looked back throught but couldnt see a lot about the coil pack installation, nice pics but how did you get on with fitting the 98 coil pack wiring to the 99?

 

Will detail pics of final installation Andy. I leave electrickery stuf to DW or Pat. I can do it, but just not as good a quality or as quickly.

 

so there is a definate need for jiggery-pockery then

 

Andy, drop me a mail and Ill sort you out

DannyBoy... what do you want to know about loom adaptors.. you can have a look at how mine is done

Or drop me a mail to david@wallis2000.co.uk

David

 

MSD Unit installed (just needs wiring up)


Push style release bearing from the OSGiken clutch


Converter bracket to turn it into a push style (OEM is a pull type)


Two access ports of the fuel tank, with the new braided fuel pipe fed through from one side to the other. (Note the light red almost pink colour, thats what under the bonnet used to look like)


Fuel pump lid and bracket assembly removed, showing main access to the tank


Hole drilled and pipe fed through, so it goes from outside of the car to the inside. It will then run down the inner sill to the bulkhead.


Onto the engine. Modification of the OEM baffle plate.


A few cuts and it should just come off.


Installed onto the block.


Oil pickup pipe installed


How the internal baffle of the sump looks or will sit.


And again


Sorry, forgot to press the macro button

 

, Gonna be good to see the coated stuff, made a note of the 9th.....

 

Not quite sure if we have enough detail on the sump arrangement, perhaps another dozen shots should do it
