Bad news about the door Lee At least its coming back together now with all the best bits Not tempted to go for the RCM 3" Team Ice system then?

 

done a good bit now and only waiting for a few bits and pieces and will be almost done i also have my gearbox oil and my brake/ clutch fluid and have millers running in oil
once my other parts have arrived and a few mor bits fitted i will prime the engine oil in pump etc.. then away we go

just a pic of how it's looking at the moment







everything has to be cleaned like pipes and so on but that will be after all is fitted and then the polishing will start

 

Ooooooo the flat 4 rumble is nearly back

 

looking good lee. Bit of a difference from from when I saw it last.

 

That's something Lee !!

 

cheers guys got a bit of tidying up to do and cleaning and also drive belt plus waiting for a true 3" blitz nur spec exhaust from dazdavies and im done and some bonnet vents

 

Should be with you tomorrow mate let me know if it arrives Ok and meets with your approval

 

hi daz,
it came today looks awsome fella will get some pics up when its fitted cheers again daz

 

Looking good mate..

 

Looking good Lee, where has your oil cooler gone?. I'll give you a call on Friday.

 

thanks guys and rigster i will be here till around 2 pm Friday but going away for the night then will be back Saturday afternoon

 

That impressive Lee

 

hi lee

wooooooooow

 

Nearly there Lee, nearly there. Is looking bloody gd. Look forward to when it all comes together.

 

hi guys just a quick up date as things are going not so well as i have found that there is a small bit of oil being lost out of one of the seals from the gearbox where i converted it with the stub axles but it's only on the one side but need to get back under the car to check it out
i also filled the engine and rad with water and found my alloy rad that only bought last year is some how leaking

so i have ordered a new alloy rad and think that maybe i might have damaged the one oil seal when putting the stub axle in but should not be hard to put right but will have to get under to look first

on the up side tho i have fitted my oil catch tank and filled all other oils like powersteering and engine to which i pre filled the oil fillter and primmed the oil pump by filling it slow through the oil pressure hole and turned engine by hand a little so hope this will do the trick for when i turn it over to get oil pressure up , and before people say i will have the plugs out and crank and cam sensors disconnected to turn over to get the oil pressure up

iv'e also fitted the nur spec with new power flex rubbers and made a belt tensioner for power stearing and alternater so will post sone pics asap

 

There are always little problems right at the end of a build like this mate, but nothing you cant sort im sure, since the whole thing is hand built and you know every nut and bolt.
You have done a stunning job, bags of respect from me Lee, cant wait to see it

 

cheers fella

new alloy rad is now on and it was ten times better made than the one that i fitted last year
will get some pics up tomorrow but i had one i forgot to post last time of the exhaust now on

 

Hmmmmm looks familiar

Have you heard it yet???

if not, be prepared it's AWESOME!!!!!

 

Mine was loud Lee and that was on a standard engine, next door is really gonna love the two of you....lol, if you aint got the bung then i got a set of ear defenders in the garage you can have.

 

hi daz, havent heard it yet as im waiting for the true 3" down pipe to be sent as i ordered it awhile ago but now found out that the place i had it from is on holidays till the 20th so not happy

lol i know scud between mine and kerri's scoob's the street will love us and it should sound awsome as this one has been modded to a true 3" all thanks to daz

 

Hi Lee,

Looking very busy under that bonnet mate, how are you going to deal with your engine bay temp`s with regards to the air intake for the turbo, as its set up your cold air from the intercooler is is going to rise with a alarming rate due to the air filter being open to the engine bay temps.

John

 

Just thought mate, I do have the bung for this somewhere if you want it?

 

the filter will be shielded off from the engine but have not come around to getting it sorted yet plus i have a p1 induction style lamp cover from ETS racing with 3 1/2 ducting tube to force feed cold air straight to the filter

will also be running a mocal oil cooler which will be run of a mocal sandwich plate with stat built in that i have this will go behind the passenger fog lamp but will fit this after the car has been run in and this will be fed air via another p1 style induction fog cover

plus it will be running a reverse rcm or similar scoop/vent so should see some of the heat lost from the engine bay out of that

that would be great if you do have it daz as it would come in handy to keep my nasty neighbors happy

 

Call it £15 delivered and I'll get it in the post to you over the weekend

 

hi daz, will sort something out asap and will send you a pm over the weekend if thats ok mate

 

got a quick pic to show what has been done as i have made the belt tensioner and got a belt plus had to take out the old alloy rad and replace it
catch can is fitted and all thats left now is to get a few bits and peices done as stated in previose post and job done

iv'e desided that after running the car in i will be selling my power fc and commander and also my apexi avcr and also the z32 maff to buy a simtek to go maf free and hopfully reach my goals i want

heres a quick pic how it stands

 

Lee I've been saving a pic for a rainy day and after the pic above it's here !!



To think you have done all this tucked away in your garage

So when do you think your going to turn the key on this then ?

 

You got the bay looking tidy, then you see a red bull cover in the corner of your eye....lol.... The avc-r's are pricey so you should get a good price for it.

What figures you going for ? need to know incase i see you out...... dont wanna look stupid.hehe.

 

scudy i think he's gonna make you look really stupid so pretend you did'nt see him

 

Ar i see what you mean, wrote a totally different reply.

We'll see will just have to catch him during the run-in period
