Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Finally things have started to move on the body work, been a nightmare as friend who is spraying (and has been paid to do it, silly school boy error) has been off work for a while with various problems. But its now promised to be done in the next few days I have a few electrical issues to sort too, central locking has stopped working, battery is now discharging when ignition is off and also a few mechanical ones Think as the car is being stop started a lot, the plugs have fouled up as its running on 3 cylinders, and the exhaust manifold is leaking for the second time so i think it was bent when welded and needs to come off. Luckily i have the mechanical cams and ported head to go on so will have to do that sooner than expected. Just want it finished now so i can enjoy the british summer........doh      | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Put some base coats on the clams, rear looks lovely in matt colour but the front reacted badly to the paint, which is why it was crazy paved before. Car will be painted original Starlight Black bit of a bugger but at least it coming on now   | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Ed Norton - 28/9/2013 2:08 AM Love it, its looking awesome now.... Major dose of car envy, i will have a audi 1.8t powered one, one day not easy to do at all, engine and box sit much lower and wiring is a nightmare Plus the conversions cost 10k to do And worst still they are very heavy but a good one sells for 30k ! | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Well the good news is......... Its on my drive, tucked up nicely in its new pyjamas Drove if home and it's geo is all over the place, the brembos rattle, the shocks are set too hard, suspension is too low, oil leak drops onto exhaust manifold which is leaking.........body work needs some flatting polishing and a few chips from fitting. but its on my drive and third gear with foot to floor is a giggle exhaust sounds lovely too Photo when it was light....its all together now  | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Adi will pm you, issue is they are going up in value at the moment For cheap thrills I would go s1 and std k turbo sean spec A big smile is an understatement ... Nearly finished it off today. Still needs some flatting and polishing and grills adding. I am missing the front undertray so cant fit the splitter which is a shame. 111S Stickers to go on to but just so excited I couldnt help but put photos up its booked in with Sportomotive on thursday for a Geo, going to go for 340r setup at 120mm front so I can go over speed bumps had a little play on the way home and a nice man and his Pillion on a motorbike Aprillia Rv4 assisted with the how quick is it test......on low 11psi setting it was close thing.....so I would say its quick enough     | ||

When I get my wheels backThat's a never then Thieving valleys scum, your missus was right about you Issue of the day today is Car has a new battery and a re-furbed altenator and was charging fine yesterday....14.2 V on ECU readout First problem i had was the Bosch Motorsport Pump draw too big an AMP for the MFR as i had the std pump and bosch pump running on s ame relay......which frazzled So i had a second 30a relay installed and since then the car has been popping main fuses, 60A first then 80A and now with a 100A fuse in there i was driving home I noticed the volt meter saying 17V at one stage before the 60A fuse popped and the car stopped charging Car also drains the battery when stationary...takes about 4 hours to kill it I managed to get it home but upon changing the fuse the battery is not charging. The altenator light is off, goes on when i remove the main fuse. | ||
