Well had a few hours spare this afternoon, so sorted my dodgy drivers door lock, and made a pikeysport interior pull lol.
Also routed the drivers harness so it bolts on the rear belt bolts, rather than the dodgy way it was before.
Got fed up of the wiring to the rear lights being all the way...
it doesn't help that this lump is gutless at low revs even for a 4pot, so feels super slow until about 5k, then it takes off like a scalded cat until the limiter calls play at circa 7500.
Id say oncw going there isnt anything in it, but the VR was so torquy (sp) that it would have been half way...
lol cheers mate, you're still welcome for that passenger ride ;)
Well I got a few more bits done today - More sound proofing is off, new door lock is in, and Iv ordered more roll cage tube to finish the cage off - doubt it will be done by Combe mind.
On a side note, anyone know what make my...
Doesn't help that Specky is a nutter ;) Last time I asked him what it was like at over 150mph, he said 'its a bit unstable but i just keep my foot in and worry about that when i let off' lol
Id say there will still be water in your plug holes mate, as Danny said, pop the coil lead off, whip the plugs out and crank it over :) Any poblems just give me a ring mate
Jon, it will be your idle control valve, I replace 3 of the things on my black one, tried cleaning them out but lasted about a day then back to hunting. I managed to buy a new one from a chap on here who had a sticking tb, and bought it in error. Bear in mind though, check out my guide for a...
140k on my old one on itb's, with a 7800 rpm redline, and was tracked around 6 times with the itb's on, and was tracked progressively over the previous 50k with me, engine still going strong when i sold it and was making 195bhp :)

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
Loved it before, even with the cheese grater spec engine, but I just honestly f**king love it now - makes me want another :)
In fact I feel I must drive it...
That went aaaages ago mate, at the time I couldn't move the cage to my other car as it was welded in, and I didn't have any space to re-shell it.
Ironically, I now have a lock up so i could have done it now, but such is the way!
It looks ok from the back and ugly from the front, but as a cheap fun car it ticks all the right boxes and that will do me for now ;)
Need to get a few track days done (got 2 next month) so will have some fun with it while tidying it up a bit, then if i get bored il get something else :)
Just ordered a cheap OBD reader off Ebay - engine light has popped on, so will see what that is, doesn't drive any different so im guessing a lambda probe or something similar
True, though if everyone was the same it would be a very boring world :)
Il be getting it weighed to see if the weight loss was worth it lol, though obviously I didn't strip it
