It\'s alive, it\'s alive!!

Finally got the car all finished and turned the key this evening. It didn\'t start first time, but did second!!

Only got a little problem I\'m trying to sort out before I take it for a drive.

I\'ve also put on a straight through exhaust as I used to have a dragon silenced midpipe. My neighbours are gonna hate me! lol.

(please see my other thread, any help appreciated!)

Curse you jim! you\'ve done somthing ive wanted to do for a long time :god  just make sure you dont pop it now with all the mods etc, (i presume you\'ve fitted that FC)

I remember trying to start mine first time after my rebuild. Was very nervous. Then it started first time on the key - I was amazed!

Well done.

[Jim_rx7]

Not fitted the PFC yet as I don\'t know if it was setup or has base map on it. I currently have no commander, so I can\'t reset it.

I\'m on stock ECU, but no more than 3K rpm and no boost at all!!!! I\'m gonna be very, very carefull until I get it mapped etc. Should be fine like that.

well done, was it a rebuild or an engine swap?

[Jim_rx7]

Engine swap mate. I\'ve got ,my old block sitting here. I\'m on two minds to rip it apart!
