if mot on friday and it allows me time to get tax then Friday..

my other scoob needs a break!

I am not currently sure if I can tax it without the reg doc going off to DVLA as I then want to visit DVLA office to transfer the reg.. but not sure when I can get there.. probably in the week.. I may need to tax it and transfer the reg there etc

no nothing from him..?

that was quick..

I had a thought re-your car today.. worth trying the original FPR into the fuel pipes remotely mounted to discount the aftermarket FPR?

[eurosti]

Sold within half hour of posting mate 550 all in! Im happy so as soon as the Holiday is done stand by lol. No swimming with Dolphins for the Kids LOL. Only joking! We are a bit worried about Chalkie his missus hasnt heard in 2 days!

good price

strange.. where has he been?

would be easier here but could do another trip out to Germany.. although.. errrmm.. time frame might be an issue.

I need it running to keep my interest.. I hate a non-running car.. I can then fiddle with it until happy.

Simon

[eurosti]

We are not sure where he is! I will come to you mate as it will need to be mapped for your crap UK fuel lol. Going back in August for good so makes sense. Do i need to keep the 97 map sensor i got? She will be running mate dont worry lol.

[Jolly Green Monster]

can use that sensor yes.. or I have GM 3bar sensors etc..

Simon

[eurosti]

Simon i will always take your advice so whatever is best for the car mate!

[Jolly Green Monster]

either is fine

[eurosti]

Nice one well i will muster the rest of the funds and will book in, this time with a car that works lol.

due to stripped threads in drivers front caliper I used used Timeserts..

am knackered from working on car.. missed MOT, rebooked for the morning.

biggest pain was fitting the rear shaft as everything was rusted solid and it would be the longer shaft to go in.

sorted the intercooler pipes, bleed the clutch, bleed the front brakes, fitted the tein bonnet lifters as bonnet stay rubber missing from front panel and so it kept falling down in the wind.

sorted the thread in the caliper.. did both threads in the drivers side caliper..

Also played with the launch control - the neutral position switch seems a bit dicky.. took me a bit to realise why it wouldn't rev past 4000rpm. Disabled it for the minute..

downpipe to turbo sorted.. basically just the rear brakes, plus rebleed of the fronts and ready for MOT.. I have prelim checked it and could find nothing other than the rusty rear disks but then when it cannot go in the brake tester anyway..

Simon

[Jolly Green Monster]
