Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

Ive been away over the weekend so stoped by the garage to see if any work had been done. Black car was still as i left it Vince had been two busy. You would have to meet this man he's so laid back you can't get angry with him. I left and 2hours later he phoned me to come & pick the car up. Engine now out of the black one. :doubleup: [img]http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u321/Bikebloke0/bike016.jpg[/img] [img]http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u321/Bikebloke0/bike017.jpg[/img]

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

Tell Vince he needs a longer arm on that engine hoist...it'll never reach the scoob from there....

And just unbolt the Engine in the Silver one and let the EVO cushion the impact.

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

Maybe the end of next week. Just maybe, finger's & toe's are all crossed. The drive over to Germany will be slow untill Scott get's his hands on it. I'm hopeing he will mapp it for me eighther on route or when there. If i grovell alot & wave money at him. Then give him a kiss & a pint or 7 :tequila:

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

HAHA mine needs doing too since the new turbo story. He could come back with more money than he took out :doubleup: ££££££££££££ KA-CHING ££££££££££££

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

Can I just say... I AM NOT MAPPING ANYTHING IN GERMANY.
This is supposed to be a weekend break, and as far as I am concerned it will be.

Laptop is only going in case any fault codes need to be read or things reset,

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

The engine is in at last. The Past 48h have been MAD. Vince as norm very busy and against his better judjment let me lose on the car. This morn it started for the first time. So now just running it about to make sure nothing falls off. :doh: I keep thinking did i do that clamp did i do that nut & bolt :whistle: So far only one breakdown due to not putting a clip around the pipe to the dv. It did make a noise when that poped off. Anyway ok so far only took it around to 4500rpm pulls better than i thought spool up is fantastic next to no lag. I replaced the oe headers for some Harvey Smith ported headers & matched up pipe. Seems to works Perfect with the 2.5 & Tdo5 20g. Will wait untill Scott can get his hands on it before giving it any more stick. First impretions are good though. I will be able to sleep now the car is almost ready to go. Oil & filter change + 3 port to go on tyres gearbox & diff oil job done. Roll on next Friday :doubleup: :drive: :drive: :drive:

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

Might be needed my friends STI had a wobble whilst out there last weekend, engine management light came on Saturday morning!! Fortunatley we found a handy garage where the guy check the ecu and reset it. Nothing big wrong we just think as he was a bit low on fuel the ecu threw a wobbly going round the ring or whilst being chucked around may have not picked up enough oil.

Car ran perfectly afterwards

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

Nice one Nige :10:

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

Got a few jobs out of the way today. After Crowmans leak in his fmic i went over mine with a fine toothcomb. Then on to the gearbox changed the oil. Strange these 6 speeds have 2 drain plugs. 4.1 litres of oil @ £12 per litre :shock: Engine oil & filter done + a magnetic drain plug {i was given it} While i was under the car i checked all i could see. My new engine is running really well. Scott to the rescue & make it safe tommo.So all looks good for the ring...... Well nearly im still waiting for my tyres :doh: Im on Pirelli rosso's @ the mo & they dont stick like my Bridgestone's did :doubledown: ! Mind you there all but bald. Looking to buy some Bridgestone Re0 70's or Hankook rs . Will see what Victoria tyres can do before Friday :doh:

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

Good stuff Nige.
I have done a few little tidy upbits to mine today also.
Did a few miles and can safely say it is far far to hard.
Am going to hurt big time by time we get to dover let alone the ring.

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

Ha! Ha! sounds like you have a 4 weel drive go kart mate. :10:

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

I think its wicked but its certainly gonna be a challenge to get there and back without a back injury, just wait for the track its gonna corner like its on rails. :twisted:

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

Well no tyres for me,bald is the way to go. Apart from being skint now there is no time. Looking over the car today i found a broken plastic 3 way joint thingy between the turbo & boost solinoid :doh: lucky i borrowed one from the other car. :doubleup: Last year i melted one of these bloody thing & cost me in bhp. Scott to map tommo lets see if it all makes sence. :drive: :drive:

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
 

Just got back after the re-map. Scott made if safe & quick. We had a few misshaps i changed my 2 port for a prodrive three port & broke it trying to re arrange some pipe work. So we had to change back to the 2 port :doh: Other than that Scott had to reduce the boost [made it slower] as my injectors are not man enough for the 2.5. Seems the turbo can take more so for future modds Bigger injectors are on the list :doubleup: Thank's to Scott i can sleep tonight now i know the car's runing safe. Bring on the RING. :drive: :drive: :drive: :drive: :drive:

Re: BOUGHT ANOTHER SCOOBY
