Yes, because I Have a private road available to me.:wink: I have a buzzer wired up to an omex shift light, it's never seen so much action, with the flywheel as well, it's like a bike going through the gears. here is the graph of speed vs revs, first column 1st gear, second column 2nd gear etc

P!ssing out mate!, Not really, dry as a bone, like I've forgot to put oil in.

First off a MASSIVE thank you @NorthloopCup for sorting out my gearbox, the amount of effort Mark has put into my gearbox has been immense, if your average box builder had built this box the reliability of the internals would have been greatly reduced, it's down to Marks keen eye and OCD nature...

Apart from giving me a left forearm like Mike Tyson with all the shifting I reckon 1-1.5 seconds, Its all going back together tomorrow, should be ready for the friday rush hour GP.

I went for the gripper with a lower FD ratio in my hill climb car because I'm chasing Tenths of a second, but will probably have another box built with a quaife diff for a second car for track days and general hooning about as the gripper diff / final drive ratio will be terrible day to day use...

Bit of progress tonight, Fitted the New lightweight Flywheel with new bolts, New Valeo clutch and mated the gripper box up ready to drop back in.:up: I'm just waiting for the new injectors coming now.

exhaust was out, inlet was perfect, you may lose that tool for a week mate

not massively slack, it's not some carlos fandango timing that makes it go better is it? iirc group n timing is only on the inlet and isn't 4 degrees, i checked it 5 times with a timing disc and was bang on 4 degrees advanced.

Timing belt was due in February Anyway so I thought I'd pull the lot out rather than doing the box on my back and struggle for space with the belt. Freds exhaust timing was 4 degrees possibly a bit stretch in the belt but it's absolutely bang on now.

Seen as the box is about ready at @NorthloopCup I needed to get my finger out, So busy day today, dropped the missus off at Leeds Station first thing (6:30) then 4 Weetabix in preparation for the rest of the days plans, By 10:30 it looked like this Cup of tea and by 12:00 looked like this...

yeah awesome and fricking hot, ate a 3 lb basket of chicken last night a bubba gumps at cancun airport, that was my high point but has blocked me up solid! lol

I have order some redline mt90 at the price of that stuff a leak free box will save me a few quid, back home now matey.

@NorthloopCup Awesome work Mark, If Anyone is looking for a box builder I can't recommend you highly enough, absolutely faultless. the gearing on this is going to be mental, I'm back in the country Wednesday afternoon so I'll get over at some point later this week if you get a seal

Yes, if it was retested at the the same test station,but as that was 2013 more faults may be present by now.

It depends on who's looking at it, I suppose a Vosa inspector would probably give you an Inpection notice demanding it be corrected within seven days and presented for removal of inspection notice at a Mot test station, But whats the chances of that.

IF it's too loud, MOT manual section 7.4.1 A silencer in such condition, or of such a type, that the noise emitted from the vehicle is clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a standard silencer in good condition.

Top mount bearing loose, knackered or not correctly seated

valeo oem, no need for anything else

@leeds_182 Found this on your doorstep Jim, one word, EXHAUST You won't get bored if you roll it over either! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vauxhall-corsa-modified-/272040222214?hash=item3f56dc5e06:g:x5wAAOSwYHxWP4pA

A bit of info for people who come across this and need an alternator quick, The 75 amp alternator from the 1.9d and dti (not dci) clio ph1, megane ph1 & kangoo is the same alternator as fitted to the cup if you have a good scrap yard near by.

Drawing air into fuel system from filter change, check all pipe connections and any bleed/drain screws that have been disturbed or better still remove them and smear a little vasoline over the fittings to guarantee an air tight seal

s**t month at work, needed a beer, all of a sudden life seems pretty sweet again!
