Nice !!!

Looking good Greame.

My aim......... get a working car

Pulling the engine in April for her new heads and cosworth head studs, get my gearbox rebuilt, get a better clutch and a syvecs ECU and then put it all back together and drive the bloody thing

Same here.

Will be great just to get her back running at full steam

Hi Peter I'm all gravy mate just a bit busy with work hope the beast is comming out to play in the summer how tricks ?? what new

Nothing really new. Just looking to having it running and have some seat time in her.

You'll be looking forward to crail and knock hill this season for sure.

Hope to catch up with you at one of the events.

Peter.

Ps. Chris how are you keeping mate?

I'll be there with something Gus

Make it a Tuesday night and I might pop along with my 10sec warrior.

Good stuff, now whens the first organised tunnel run LOL

You can lead that one

Nice one kenny

steve mapped it today,

all just about spot on, but small issue with a boost spike to near 2 bar at one point. i think and again please dont quote itll be around 1.7 bar peaking? (for the guys in the know what boost level would you expect from my build) its just out of interest and personal referance. the spike i think is suspected to be a mechanical issue with bleed valve or something??? but please dont quote that because i cant actually remember what they said but a mecahnical issue somehwere, and not expecting to cause any problems and expected quick/ easy fix.

so plans are, sort issue, and pick up car in 2 weeks, nip over to steve, final run/map check on his rollers, possible power run and off up the road, hehe.

so again cannot fooking wait now, like being a bloody kid at xmas lol, but simon at api says its looking mint and sounds absolultey fantastic, esp when hits boost and starts churning out the power climbing through the revs

its the latest simtek ecu with the vast array of functions available, alot of which are way over my head, and i think there are a few that will not be utilised on mine. again ive limited knowledge/understanding on ecus, but of top of head the data logging function is not used as i have no way of reding any held data, i think its more for the well versed guys or possibly for mappers, of which im neither. possibly a whole host of functions aswell that it doesnt require on my car.

im sorry i dont have exact data for the guys who are interested in the new simtek, or want some more detailed information - you can ask me and ill try find out but its unlikely ill be able any but the most basic questions - sorry

anyway any comments or thoughts are welcomed, apart from the previously covered ones lol.

and as i said from start ill post up more shots when its home and hopefully the dyno graph, if its possible to get a power run at TEG.

thanks to all who took an interest and time to comment

if ever im forced to part with the car (not thats its ever ever entered my mind) this thread will be a great referance

cheers

You'll be able to run 2bar and doubt it'll be a bleed valve.

Who is mapping the new simtek?

I thought you was too young for that kind of fun Dave?

Looks great Graeme.

Not far away now

Why is it that crail is always windy!!

Prefer the urban but not enough to pay for a full respray.

Save the cash for fuel and parachutes.

Agree.

Repaint is costly and when you are in the car you can't see it!

Save it for other things.

Wow that is nice!!!

Happy birthday billy.

Thought with your age you'd want a quiet one!

i was born an bred in renfrewshire

but no longer

thats good to known thugh mate

how do i go around sorting the free tuition?

All you need to do is ask the instructor to go out with you during the course of the track day.

Jef.

You get free tuition on a Sidc track day at knockhill mate.

Do you stay in Renfrewshire?

Welcome back billy

What is happening with yours Pete? Not heard much about it lately.

Zilch has happened. But will have up running soon with a new engine.

Will give you a race on crail jef.

Looking good jef.

Not long till d day then.

Colin has a fair point. I've seen so many 2.5 with problems that I will never go that route again but that depends in how much power you want Chris.

Ultimate will be a 2.35 build

Or the one that I will go for would be a forge 2.1 build. Greer's have one for sale which means it's ready to go and all the machining work has been done to the cdb.

Bolt your heads on and new turbo and fmic and your off.
