Ha ha!

Yer, all good here....same sh1t, different day. Currently awaiting the arrival of sprog number 2...should be fun.

Here's hoping it sorts itself out well for you!

Christ, it ain't half quiet in here!

Hope your doing well Ian?

Shame to see the ex-Squirrel car end up like this......

They both will work the same way mate. It's just the positioning that's different.

Dump valve and BOV are one and the same thing fella.

I thought you'd have looked up how to fit the intercooler before buying it? It's a do-able job, but requires modifying a few pipes and stuff. Not a quick or straight forward job, but certainly will work ok.

Sounds strange....gearbox sitting down a bit too much at the rear, or not flush against the engine?

Good luck mate!

Hope all goes well for you guys over there.

Nice one. Always reckoned 450 in a classic, was around the perfect amount of hp for the road.

Apologies to the OP for the hijack.

Aye no bad....same sh1t, different day.

Longing for another scoob, even though i'd never afford bein able to run it.

"Updates" coming then i take it? Making it faster than Colins paperweight?

How you getting on Johnny?

Motor going well?

Cheers for the reply.

This any use http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170595642344&fromMakeTrack=true

Think this is an electrical gauge from looking up the interweb. Another site mentioned boost sensor, harness and link controller for these gauges but no mention of these in the ebay add. Ive contacted the seller. Wait and see.

Yer, you'll need a sensor and controller for that to work.

For pod, i never found a 3 gauge pod i liked for the dash, so suggest a pillar pod.

I've always fitted the pressure sensor at the existing one, as it's simple, easy and CLEAN. Fitting a sandwich plate means changing the oil, but it can get a bit messy. For the temp sensor, i removed the plug to the right(IIRC)ontop of the block, then drilled and tapped a thread to suit.

Any gauge is(or should be) fine and the look is down to yourself. I think it's a bit expensive though...would rather spend a bit more for a Defi.

Mechanical has a pipe coming from whatever take-off you use and straight into the back of the gauge, whereas an electric has a sender inbetween. Personally i prefer mechanical, but there isn't much wrong with electrical.

The thread where i was sellin it in says 58k, so knock 1k off for running engine in and maybe 5k tops before that....i didn't do many miles at all. At that, it's gotta be around 50-55k anyway.

Looks like it still has the Revolution backbox...?

No receipts i'm afraid no.

New MAF is always a good thing!

Prolly the same engine then....i used the same block yes. There was some very light scoring on a couple of cylinders when it went, but not bad enough to warrant a new block. Got a company to hone it a bit and it was fine.

It wasn't mapped no. MAF sensor failed, thus the reason for rebuild.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah them were the days!!!!

Tbh, i wouldn't pin my hope on it being the same block. If it's still got the goodes(Eagle rods and JE pistons), you'll hear it quite rattly when cold?

Sorted....on it's own.

:s

Lol!

MS won't be the man he once was, but then again...

He always to pull something out the air when it wasn't expected. It'll be brilliant races i'm sure now.

Tried that...still says lo-fi and no difference.

How do i get rid of the highly annoying wee semi-posts and go back to normal ones?

Top stuff, thanks fella's.

That would be fine...nothing fancy, just not carp.

Got a name?

As above.

Going up town on Saturday during the day and want to get some nice grub, have a couple drinks and a few games of pool....anyone know of a good place?
