colin_ross Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 and heres another gauge ive decided to fit ,not sure how to wire it though? You're having problems because you've installed it upside down. Link to comment
thewelsho Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) You're having problems because you've installed it upside down. LOL! What is it? Its so blurred I can't see it. Just as well you are better at fixing cars than you are at taking pics Jim! Looking good Why just the rear for COs? Or is it just that you haven't fitted the fronts yet?

Looking good I could be wrong but it looks like the control unit for his central heating, another reason why fitment is such an issue. Link to comment
thewelsho Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I could be wrong but it looks like the control unit for his central heating, another reason why fitment is such an issue. How can he afford central heating AND all those mods!? Surely he lives in a tent out the back? Link to comment

fai17 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 yesterday we fitted my old meercat exhaust,gary had it on his car but took it off when selling.the downpipe of this system has now been on 5 cars and the rest of the system 4. downpipe wrapped not all plain sailing but got there in the end This downpipe has been on the Chinese chocolate block,McTwist WR seX,Jimser, Rex,GaryD and now back onto Barrhead Bomber. Must be a record of some sort. Link to comment

Looking good Why just the rear for COs? Or is it just that you haven't fitted the fronts yet? not fitting the fronts until the strut brace goes back on (for mounts) I could be wrong but it looks like the control unit for his central heating, another reason why fitment is such an issue. sure is colin,need to get up earlier to catch you out Link to comment

This downpipe has been on the Chinese chocolate block,McTwist WR seX,Jimser, Rex,GaryD and now back onto Barrhead Bomber.Must be a record of some sort. yes indeed peter that system certainly has seen some action in the past,and has the biggest snakehead ever made i believe Enjoying the thread, and learning a lot!!Everything looks so shiny .. and you're making it look so easy!! It makes me want to try and tinker with my engine, but then it passes. cheers mate,some of the work is easy and theres the other little jobs that you think are going to be easy that turn out to be a PITA,cant beat the self satisfaction of doing the work yourself though(with the assistance of a couple of friends) Link to comment
jimser Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 well heres tonights update:started fitting the new fuel lines and then gary decided he wanted a buzz of the fuel and heres the new lines fitted,just need to make a bracket and fit the fpr also fitted turbo inlet hose but the diameter of the insert pipe was too large so cut it to size and then cut a strip out of it so it would close down a bit then had to try and fix the other barrhead bomber as coming up the road last night i done a nanaki(pulled my knob right out its housing) so tried to get it sorted tonight but need the correct circlip Link to comment

jimser Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 It's like all your Christmases come at once Jim. Can't wait to see the end result. not having to run a scoob for 7 months certainly does give you the chance to save a bit. Link to comment
thewelsho Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 not having to run a scoob for 7 months certainly does give you the chance to save a bit. Ah! Well, at least you have invested wisely Link to comment

jimser Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Sheesh! What's the reason for an external pump and what does the swirl pot do? Keep up the good work! in tank pump will feed swirl pot and external pump will feed the fuel system its to eliminate fuel surge on track.........heres hoping anyway Link to comment
