Sounds like an air leak somewhere I had the same. Although mines was due to removing the carbon canister from the breather and not blocking it off correctly.
Haha it's a vicious circle these cars Mark! How's the ph1 now?
Good shout mate, the dephaser was brand new though however I fitted everything and it's the first time I've delved this deep so likely I've broke something lol.
I'm running the saxo pump now Craig in the scuttle panel. Good shout...
I was speaking to Wayne Neil, for the same money though I can build my own with forged internals etc. Great set up he has but for the cost I think I'm better from scratch from Andy.
Thanks mate! I'm working away just now but if you have a look at icemans race car thread it's all In there as...
Well the engines in pieces, still no sign of the rattle. Change of plans now...
Engine will be getting fully stripped and re-built forged on a low compression ready to have a big dirty turbo bolted on. Spoke to Andy @ clio turbo today so will probably be sourcing most parts from him, still a...
Thanks lads!
It's going in to the garage tomorrow for the week as I'm working away. He's going to whip the sump off and see what it's looking like. Fingers crossed It's something simple and save swapping engines over.
Yeah I was thinking that Mark, another 2-3 month pouring money in to it I can imagine id loose interest.
I'll need to have a think and see where to go from here :(
Well the car lasted all of one day, had it out today for its first real blast and it sounds like the bottom ends gone!
Not sure if I'll just throw another engine in or rebuilt this one to a better spec.
Bloody cars.
It will look no different fitted properly it's still flush with the roof, it's not the right colour though, but thanks for your kind comments.
Yeah I'll have a look at the 30th Craig, hopefully get the cage in first!
Cheers boss ;)
As Craig says mate it's just rubber sheet off a role. Does...
Finally sorted an MOT out for this, the decat and pas were giving me some troubles but all good now! Can finally drive it a bit and then book a track day :smiley:.
Also received a roof scoop from Dinger on here, still to fit but finishes the car off nicely and will hopefully keep me cool.
Looks good but also very over priced.
I got all my inlets plus all mounts, subframe, wishbones, arb and subframe supports for less than that sandblasted and powder coated.
To be honest mate you've done it the right way lol. I've had mine nearly 9 months and still not touched the track or road!
In reality I should of just got it road worthy then upgraded as I needed, all this money later the lesson is learned 😂. I'll give you a shout in the near future...
