It's been running to tonight, just gotta give the battery a good charge and wait for the downpipe to turn up
:laugh::laugh:
Finally have some good news, apart from a missing downpipe the f7r is complete and running, soon as the downpipe is on it's on the road :)
Apart from needing a timing light and a pair of hands to get the crank ref set up properly there's nothing I can do till I get t downpipe :(
I guess I could give it a clean lol
Yeah fits fine, Steve had it on his and I use the BBPT version on mine:agree: i think Lewis aka Elcie also uses the K-Tec version aswell.
The only mods I had to do to the BBPT version was enlarge the holes as the BBPT jobbie was desgined around a T28/T25 rear. But I know Steve's K-tec version bolted straight onto the T28 without fault. You will also need part of the de-cat aswell as mine and steve's side exit were a little short to mate up but a cut of the decat and a clamp job done:agree:
I will find some pic's of Steve's as I know he took a couple of pics
I got one here which i'm not using anymore ;)
Spent a couple of hours working on the suspension, I've got AVO coilovers but I've always felt they ran to low and with heavier engine now in place some had to be done.
First job was to get the old springs off and take some measurements, easier send than done when they have seized up, some adjustment with a hammer and a bolster got the adjuster free, a good clean up and regrease and the damper is ready.
The old springs were the ones supplied by AVO and as far as I can find out there 2.25" ID x 7" long 220lbs, so I've ordered some that are 2.25" ID x 8" long 300lbs, with any luck this should raise the front enough to clear speedbumps without scrubbing and still maintaine
reasonable ride comfort
Well thats just great, spent the other night getting front shocks ready for new springs, ordered them, said they'd be delivered on tuesday, so when they turned up today I thought result, ripped open the packing to find only 1 spring:mad:
I'm sorry but am I being dense or does a car require 2 springs on the front? I'm not sure now as the company must think cars only have 1 spring on the front:sad2:
Ok so once again I got back to offic today to parcel, after they sent me only 1 spring Friday they went and sent me 2 springs :rolleyes: the first was blue these new pair are black apart from that the specs are the same so there now on the car and mission accomplished the front is raised by about an inch :)
Gave the firm a quick call to tell of their second cock up, they said keep the first spring so that's gunna become a vase on my dinning room table :)
Bbbbbbbbbboooooooooooooooooooosssssssssstttttttttt
How much....
Passed it's MOT today, on the road tonight :)
Now where are the lambo's ;)
Well that's the first two days of testing the new engine out of the way and pleased to report no major problems otherthan the speedo not wanting to work :(
Had a good laugh Saturday night as a chap in stripped ph1 Clio cup tried to race me, bearing in mind I'm running just under 7psi of boost, 5500rpm limit and no more than half throttle he couldn't catch me :) of course he started with usually racing driver excuses and then when he found out I was only on half throttle he started crying BS and punched the side of my car as I drove away, ****.
sweet dude. I think i should come and get a passenger ride in it and get the love back buy a 5 and do the conversion. Good stuff m8. Punched ya car? Do ya know him then?
No I'm not.
Sounding good though, when you next up this neck of the woods.
Well done mate its nice when things start coming together.
If i was to race a car and he punched mine cos i beat him i think id put my boot through his then him lol, what a prick!
it think a name and shame is order(vehicle reg & colour :mad:
for his sake and mine, if i just dusted him and pulled over for a chat , and he lost the plot and started kicking the **** out of my 5, put it this way , those who know me, know i'm a easy going, piss taking kind of guy,but if somebody did that to my car, by the time i had calmed down, i would be up for murder, i kid you not.sounds silly i know,but i've worked dam hard and spent many days and nights/weekends getting my car where it is , just for some ****bag loser, who cant accept and admire somebody elses hard work and achievment. that is just too low :(:(:(
anyway , whats the damage oli:sad2:
and i still think a mapping session could be on the cards before november;)
want to see it running down to the october 22nd rtoc rr day:cool:
hahaaaar (sorry, watched POTC last night so I did argh)

You're doing something wrong there fella, but not to worry, Cameron's not helping you.
WE hope to pop over next week to Marky's (If he's all ok with that) at some point - be good to meet up there if you can.
C1J for the WIN !:cooter::hump::burnrubber::bla:
Oh dear, the Americans off the local base are starting to dislike me, Saturday night a couple of them turned up in their tuned 3.5ltre V6 turbo GTO looking for a race, sorry boys, 2 up, trolley jack and a load of tools in the boot and the toaster wins with ease :)
I'd better watch out for friendly fire lol
i raced a veyron, i pissed all over him when he was doing 30mph i did 35!
