When i say junk i ment the real junk. Bits of plastic and stuff just lying about. Needs a good clean up that place.

Ha ha i\'d forgotten about them. Think they\'ve all come down now. Only one car in there now so plenty of room to move about.
Watching the Ski-cross on BBC2 right now. All the guys need are machine guns and a parachute and its like the intro to a James Bond film :p

I felt dirty and tainted even typing it, if it\'s any consolation :o

Ada7 · March 05, 2010, 11:38:16 PM

Not the first time you\'ve felt like that i\'m sure

Had a message left on my phone by the Oldone to tell me the news earlier. He sounded just as excited about the engine running as i am

We should have a \'Guess how many miles i\'ll do tomorrow?\' Competition :rollin

Nik da Greek · March 05, 2010, 11:40:59 PM

I reckon you\'ll need a few thousand to run the engine in properly. Shall we say Edinburgh and back for starters? :rollin Joking aside, I bet once you start, you won\'t wanna stop, even on restricted revs and all that. I was like that when I started mine up after just four months, and I ain\'t even had the rebuild :yes

Ada7 · March 05, 2010, 11:44:00 PM

Everyone says you need to do at least 1k to bed a new engine in fully. Got a few bits to sort out while i do that anyway. Got my eye on a twin plate clutch at the mo and then will get some 1680 injectors and a new fuel rail too. Then its just mapping.... I think

Adam

Ada7 · March 06, 2010, 05:08:49 PM

Its back

:D:D
Will get some pictures up soon but its gonna need a good wash and polish first.
Can\'t stop now as wanna be out driving :rollin

Adam

Ada7 · March 06, 2010, 07:45:18 PM

Had a few other bits i had to do today and actually haven\'t really done that many miles. Is very tempting to put my foot to the floor and see what it\'ll do now but gonna take it easy. I get a little bit of turbo noise now and again and it so cool :cool:
It has a very slight hunt in the idle but thinking that could just be the ECU relearning a little.
I had a couple of bits sent away for polishing and they look incredible, like they\'ve been chromed. Annoyingly it make the rest look half hearted now :o
Its got the old intercooler as the new one i got might be a little big and was gonna be a lot of work to fit by Reworx so i\'m probably gonna be on the look out for a proper V mount one.

Ada7 · March 19, 2010, 03:16:10 PM

Ok here\'s the finished item... for now

Gave it a clean the other day and finially fitted my door sills.
Still have to find myself a better intercooler that\'ll fit and then sort the hoses out, not liking the different colours but it does for now
