PMSL - dont have time to list it let alone do it
I have a good weeks work to fit into tonight, thu from 12 and fri until 5pm, also got a few hrs trailering to get the last of the fabrication work done.
July ND would have been sooo much easier
Weather looknig good for it so far though
DG
totally ready for my 1st nd
got a very fine fettle of the carb to do tomorrow night (1.3mm 2nd stage and 0.9 a/c) but thats it, interior is all clean and exterior was clayed,polished etc last sat so will be a quick wash fri evening ready for the off sat morn
If i feel upto it all I have to do is put some diesel in the Learner car....
I wish I was ready I am so close yet so far why oh why did I start an engine conversion this close to nat day converison in 12 days must be some kind of RTOC record and almost done. Think I have some wiring still to do for the ECU and hence my injectors not working.
Theres no way I'll be ready, an OP in Feb put me out of action or 3 months and the place doing my manifold and exhaust have had the car since the beginning of May and still haven't started work on it
just some polishing left going to try these (2 for £5 bargain)
Nearly. I need to fit some radiator cowling and give the car a quick check over and clean etc and it'll be sorted.
got all my gubbins up together , just gotta get to kris m`s place at 7am on friday , start the cup, do a few checks.... then off we go...
Managed to get 99% of the jobs done this afternoon.
Still not happy with how she's running a little warmer than usual but I do know she's in need of a new rad pretty soon. Still, sits right in the middle of the temp dial now!
Gonna do the last little bits Friday morning then meet the NW crew @ 4pm
IM chilling this National day just got a new ride had the discs and pads done,full service and belts done so may venture out onto track for a few laps
Im way off! Fitting gearbox, new manifold, new turbo, welding, pistons, rods, new cams..................the list is endless!!
Robbo, im up for a passenger ride though!
All done and ready to go
Booked the day off work on Friday to just make sure that i've got everything ready to rock!
Was going to change the oil tonight but just before I dumped the old stuff I checked I had a new oil filter & you guess it
Tracking down a new filter tomorrow then!
I missed 3 ECU live wires, well I assume that was the problem, as I took the rail off after doing the wires and 2 of the injectors fired and 2 didn't, I still have spark and everything so I assume the 3 wires, I have basically now used all the wires on the clio loom brown and white plugs and now bodged into my 5. Done the test on the inectors like you said and couldn't free the 2 knackered ones up so have 4 more 802's on the way
Ran my new engine in last night, all ready to go now. Hope the forecast is correct as ive only got one set of wheels to bring this time, and slicks are fitted to them
refit steering wheel shroud, fit wrap round seat and clean the mo fo
done :-)
Ive got no chance to, gearbox needs referbed and refitted, my rad and water pipes fitted, boost pipes, bonnet, grill, bumper, fit my new aem stuff and get another 200 miles on her, then whack up the boost and hope its fueling ok
Hope you all have a good day though
im all set to go, just do some polishing fri nite! Fill her up on sat morning and srt off!

I've just been and bought a pile of booze, then I'm going to pack some clothes and get in the car...done
gutted i cant be there on the fri nite so i could get on it with you lot, but the mrs is coming hence why we aint setting out till sat morn
just took my fuel tank out, repaired the stupid bung thing, refit it tommorrow along with exhaust and brake cables, fuel filter and pump. adjust my tracking a little bit, check ride height is even all round, get tools/spares together, (ideally would like to adjust my calliper extenders as my callipers are far too close to the wheels) Then meet up at 4pm
cars packed and ready
just to buy beer in the morning
if you see to drunk scots wandering about be sure to say hello
all done. just got to get the beer and ice tomorrow after work and head down
MOT booked for 10.30am, all put together just need to put rear spoiler on and gear gaitor and give a quick clean in the morning before I take it to the MOT station, its moving backwards and forwards which is great. Front end still too high but doesn't look so bad now the back end is up by a couple of inches.
Which way should we go?
M25 M1 or M11 and cut accross?
Worried about traffic on M1.....
Thoughts?
Depends what time you're going matey??
The Motorways could be cool but on the other hand it could be a nightmare on a Friday evening??
If I were you I'd be tempted to try:
See Google Map below:
- M25
- M11
- M11 Jct 13 west A428 Past St Neots to the A1 (Helps you miss out on all the crap on the A14) And you get to drive past my house (if you know where to look! )
- A1 North to A14 Westbound towards M1
- Off the A14 at Jct 1 to miss out on the usual A14/M1/M6 Friday Evening Sh1t
- Back roads to Mallory all the way
At least it's better than sitting in traffic & either you or the car won't get too hot?
don't Forget Your Driving Licences Guys!!!!
South mimms wasn't it, and yes it probably was that long ago lol. I've got to rearrange work and convince the boss at home. I do have a 3 week older daughter so it might be difficult.
It's good to know I can get a ticket though so I'll try. Wallace, if you see this, I'll buzz you tomorrow mate.
The Sun is shining and the weekend awaits..
Its National Day Time!!!
Have a safe journey everyone
indeed, just got up guna go get shiz ready then head off later
