    Its here!

    Scoff - Do these look like the maps you left it with? ie, does it look mapped properly? The lump was dying when my bud bought it, it blew up again after that too and now its got a nice lump with very low mileage in im not taking any risks (expect a visit soon!)

    Reason I ask is that I dont wanna go ripping it apart looking for system issues if the map is a POS.

    Fuel 1



    Ign 1



    Fuel 2



    Ign 2



    Starting off home



    Getting home



    I know it seems a crime having it outside but i'd have to kick my 9 or 21 out of a garage, and lets face it, that aint happenin!

    I have no way of knowing if it's the same map dave, my memory isn't that good Initial glance tells me there is much too much timing in there for B18FT. I wasn't able to complete a real tune because of the water pressurising problems it had at higher rpm, so unless it's been tuned it'll still be a base map.

    Thats all the info I was after bud, thanks. It had those water pressuring problems on arrival at the owner Matt sold it to (which he tried to cover up), and was the cause of the first rebuild after just 5 miles

    That would also explain why it went bang the second time

    Hope to get it in for MOT this week, be seeing you soon

    French car yawn? Sorry, I meant French Car Show?

    Cars are for driving, not for parking!

    The five has done less than a hundred miles since that day!
    I bought the Clio of Matt owned it for about 2 yrs and sold it. It went back up north to a friend of the originally builder Matt black.. Who removed the engine and I seen the shell on pistonheads a few months back for £800.. The shell was so weak after Matt got the angle grinder to it

    So if i understand correct the car was Scoff's?
    Are there any more pics of the build/rwd conversion.

    Would really like to see how it's done cause i'm seriously thinking on doing it too!
