right back to the serious stuff! on thursday we fitted new fuel lines from tank to swirl pot etc and new line to front of car.fitted oil cooler fittings i had been waiting on and in-line thermostat. had a couple of issues-fuel leak from injector but changed the o ring and that was that. fpr turned out to be faulty so had to re-fit standard 1 to get the car running,and it done as asked first time .also had an oil leak,which turned out to be the seal at the modine. fitted aquamist today,new battery/box,re-fitted firewall,took out rear seatbelts.still got little bits and pieces to do but nearly there.expected it to take a lot longer than 3 weeks

heres a good guide for painting http://bbs.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyres-brak...ting-guide.html

never driven a classic so can't really comment on them but i do have a newage that weighs 1290kgs from the factory with plated diffs and dccd so i imagine it might give them a run for there money

nice 1 geo,i bet its a far better drive than the hawkeye

not much to do now frank,fuel line to run to front of car,breather hoses and fit aquamist.still to fit seats,steering wheel,harnesses and quick release too but might leave that til after its mapped.got the mud flaps from a guy on scoobynet. will be running 2 maps,1 for toluene,methanol and v power and the other for v power only yea mate im a borrheed boy though i dont really like to advertise it nationally after the amount of scoobs being stolen,looks like its been blown wide open now though not the mix i'll be running graham but close

aye cheers man,and no chance of them hoses blowing off under boost

thanks for the positive comment mate,certainly isn't easy as the car is 25 miles away cheers peter

my guess is 550-600 depending on fuel used

yea probably mate but after my last experience in a scoob i'll be taking it easy for a while.............................................. or 5 mins

cheers guys,not really been doing much else as i still need some fittings, gaskets etc fiited front coilovers gauges refitted fitted mud flaps part of the magic mix some random pics lol as standard and not the old rex blessing in disguise

would this not suffice?

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

thats 2 weeks gone by now and we're still plodding away got a pillar pod the other day but had to bond it on to the original fitted the fuel pressure regulator also moved the defi oil temp and pressure sensors on to the block instead of using a sandwich plate and wired the other senors ive added.changed diff and gearbox oil. fitted the cold air intake after a bit of cutting pipework etc to get it fitting had to make up brackets to house the oil cooler in the n/s wing fitted catch can,just need to route the hosing bolted down swirl pot and external fuel pump to the plate that peter kindly donated and this is where it'll be going just need to get some fuel hose,fittings etc. fitted avcr too and defi gauges so starting to see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel

cheers gordy cant remember the last time my hands were clean!

sad sight indeed but at least your ok

not having to run a scoob for 7 months certainly does give you the chance to save a bit.

nice wagon mate

should be running again in a week to 10 days depending on parts coming from others.struggling for a map date as its a full day for this bad boy!

yea mate and thanks for the advice,i might fettle a bit with the heights but fitting was a lot easier after talking to you

thats it simon do your own thing,though i must admit if john gave me a warning i would take heed as he has been there and done it long before us

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

cheers kevan,if only it was ames tape,then i wouldnt have to pay for it! yes indeed peter that system certainly has seen some action in the past,and has the biggest snakehead ever made i believe 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)

not fitting the fronts until the strut brace goes back on (for mounts) sure is colin,need to get up earlier to catch you out

cheers gareth,not got that much for sale as i'm keeping ALL standard parts just in case

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 also re-fitted radiator and power steering reservior and other bits and bobs of re-connecting hoses etc. did have a bit of a worrying moment when i realised i had a bit of chocolate on the block not good at all! tonight we fited the rear coilovers even managed to get craig on the job(yellow on here) and heres another gauge ive decided to fit ,not sure how to wire it though? thanks to geo(cusco kid)for getting the coilovers for me and simon(higgy) for his advice,much appreciated guys
