You got new cams in there Frayz?

 

New to the build but used. Standard spec c cams mate.

 

It fired! congrats

 

They never fail to work mate

 

Ok mate, was going to give you a heads up on the first start up with new cams (just incase you werent aware) but if they're used, shouldn't be a problem

 

Couldn't stretch to new cams at the time mate. Let's hope these work okay lol

 

Glad to see you sorted the issues Frayz, good luck with the fire up


Chop chop, want to hear this is running

 

Well guys, the Bomber lives.

Big thanks to Simon (JGM) for his time this morning. Shes now equiped with a Syvecs S6 and with a few little issues sorted fired up pretty good.

Our only casualty at present is a dead alternator which is obviously stopping us setting up her base map as the car is just dragging power from the battery. Hopefully a new alternator and we should be good to go.

Engine sounds really nice and is particularly quiet, fuel and oil pressure good too. Its not over till the fat lady sings, but i can sure say that its a huge weight off my mind to hear her running and feels a bit overwhelming to finally be here after 3 years.

Good news Frayz, I hope you're sourcing an alternator right now!!

 

Good to hear her running. Shame the alternator is holding u up.

 

pita that is; yours was so shiney too...congrats mate dope ballin FTW or something

 

Alyn to the rescue as always Daz. Will be taking my one off to see if i can fix it in the meantime.

 

Nice one Frayz, I bet your "chuffed"

 

Still got running in and mapping to go mate, so not happy yet. But the first hurdle is over with and that im relieved about lol

 

Great news mate - glad to hear that all your hard work has paid off and that you'll be able to enjoy the car soon.
Looking forward to seeing what Simon can do with it

 

Good on you mate !

 

Did you have to take the bag off the filter? TUT TUT

 

One step closer!

 

 

Ah, just watched the vid. I see you took the whole filter off rather than remove the bag from the filter? Was that less traumatic for you Frayz?

Cracking job by the way, sounds great. Really top stuff.!

 

Well done mate, long time coming but she's sounding sweet!

 

Out of interest, what were the little issues?

 

Nice to meet you and the car today Frayz.

Looks even better in the metal than the pics.

Simon

 

Little niggles Olly, miswired map sensor, a low battery and swapping the wiring on the fuel pump relay.
Since then we have discovered that the car isn't charging which is 99% sure is the alternator. I've also found a small oil leak which I think is the oil cooler sandwich plate. I'll check it out tomorrow.
I can honestly say that Ive tried my best to get it 100% but even then you still have teething issues.

Concidering she's sat for 3 years and has had the amount of reworks done, I don't think I've done too bad.

Yeah great to meet you too Simon, finally lol.

I really hope that between us we can get some good results and the cams etc don't limit us too much.

 

I had loads of issues with mine including breaking down on my way back from SRR after mapping. It was a 14hour recovery for a lose bloody earth!!

Looks like you've got off light;y Frayz which can only put down to how throrough you've been.

Pat yourself on the back mate, you're nearly there.

 

this was seen leaving the frozen wastes this evening strapped to a sherpa's back for the long trip south..........................

Yeah Daz, I don't think people realise how much goes into these to get them right lol. I too am not ashamed to admit if I make a **** up lol.

Lmao @ Alyn. Cheers mate. Star service from ASP as always.

 

Glad to hear she finally fired up finally Frayz

When is this mapping date?

 

It breathes

Real glad for you mate, you will be driving it in no time now

 

Really happy for you Frayz, sorry to hear about teething probs but, you've done great so far, so I'm sure you will have it sorted in no time.
