thanks matty

Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet

[quote=fab,8th Oct, 2010]fuck off

well progress is slow but thats mainly my fault not the cars.

got the old pedal box (servo type) out at the weekend which was interesting to say the least partly becuase of the heat and those silly snap off bolts; i've located the new one but not put it is fully as i need a new steering column bracket as i may have bent mine :/

the weekend before i also managed to degrease the engine bay as oil was everywhere so now it looks slightly cleaner.

had word from turbophil that my head is done so that good news should be getting that back in the coming weeks.

only other thing thats moved is this arrived last week :)



Yesterday this turned up so i spent the evening making it look better. Not bad for £10! The last two i've been watching have both gone for £40.

before


after


spent way to much money this month but they've been things i've needed.

until next time......keep thinking i should do a list but that might be a bit daunting lol

another lil update...

done oil return, dw theres loads of thread in the return and its not going anywhere.



my head turned up from phil today. nothing special just my old head few new bits n bobs and 24cc was all we(he) could get. it'll do for now, but thanks phil for all your help



probably end up fitting it early next week and maybe the engine making an appearance in the car :o

looking good, bright bmx colours too

2012 Avon class c 2nd place 13.8 @98mph

Nice progress, I like the Blue on the rocker cover

thanks, rocker cover is the same colour as the cowling, just looks brighter as needed led lamp to take pic

looking good!
thats how i ended up doing my return!
pita doing the other way....

it was supermottolees idea, after taking that pic i thought sod doing the return to the pump lol

Have you got an electronic speedo?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

tomtom :/

well the other day i got my mini delivery of parts. (i've spent a scary amount this month...i'm skint)

all worth it as i now have an engine to show for it. (i think)

now comes the mocking started with fitting the fuel reg :)

do something with that horrid wiper motor!
its easy to run it inside

it will be covered up with the plastic cover i just got to find it in my pile of bits.

i wana run my wiper inside just not sure how

i wana run my wiper inside just not sure how

didnt really do much at all this weekend what with being kinda skint from my purchases these last two months.

however i finally put it on wheels which for me is a milestone as at least it looks like its nearly complete from a distance lol; also needs to go for a drive to settle the suspension as its sitting a tad high atm.



i'm currently waiting for johnk to get back to me about his management system and matty has my manifold & turbo as he wanted it back to strengthen it a bit more and see if he can work out a bracket for my actuator (top bloke).

on a side note does anyone happen to know what is the feed and return on the mpi fuel tank?

Edited by t@z on 12th Jul, 2010.

so i've not been totally lazy these last few weeks i've just been waiting for shit to turn up and well its starting to get itself to me.

so anyway few problems in that the new med sensor and my ali backing plate didnt quite match up in that where i needed a long bolt the ali plate had a captive short bolt in it. so off it all came and bashed out the captive bolt and popped to supermotolees for a tap and well the fruits of my labour are below.

best not to ask it was just easier for the head to come off to sort timing out (for me anyway)


tdc sorted and sensor mounted i marked where it was and off the tooth came.


back together and i also have spent some money in dsn classics also :p


pulley shot all done.


last but not least fitted my new drop backet, must say nice bit of kit.


but thats it for now. just waiting on my MJ to turn up, ordering my new loom maybe next week and picking up my turbo from matty hopefully monday so i can start to encounter real problems.

oh yeah i also got the elbow and link pipe from Mirage......getting there!

T

looking good, i like the purple rocker cover and cowling, where was the drop bracket from?

well not really much of an update as i've been mega busy with work and travelling however there has been some developments.

my matty manifold is currently off to get the head flanges thickness matched to the inlet so i can get all that mocked up. once that is back i've got myself an external wastegate and some stainless (i'm sure you've seen supermotolees pic) so i'll be trying to mock/fab something to get these 2 attached to each other.

i've also ordered a new front loom 81 with some changes for the pre-engaged starter, fuel pump, rear loom plug etc from (http://www.autosparks.co.uk) very helpful people! However the lead time is 7 weeks to make so i'm waiting for that to arrive.

So in the mean time i've got my feed sorted. i just need to try and understand if i need a restriction to slow the flow of oil down or not?


then i finally decided to get my pedal box done...hate this job! and i bleed the clutch. Still need to sort out one bit of brake pipe. but getting there


my mate also did this for me at his works, saved a few pennies :)


so thats it really for now...hopefully will come together before the end of the year
