At least it works!

done!
as a birthday present to me, LMG decided to work
neighbourhood annoyance 101
so happy!!
need to bolt the lights and bumper on properly tomorrow to sort out those awful panel gaps
final list of things to get:
adjustable rear mount (which will hopefully sort the exhaust)
rad fan
idle control valve
think that's all!

did you get air con plumbed in?

...maybe
depends how it is with the mount
also waiting on my last PAS pipe... dont like high speed cornering without PAS ... im not strong enough :dapprove:
It's not that bad is it? I can't be arsed / it won't fit in my valver project
do you reckon the road feedback is better? I plan to use a manual rack so that might make it a little easier

Awesome news fella car looks sweet on the white williams wheels!

i dont like it, i can't tell if the feedback is any better as it was pretty good before. also im running a pas rack with no fluid, a proper manual rack would be better!
the faster I corner, the more it trys to straighten out and the harder it is!
it's not hard to get the power steering to fit in the conversion i'll post up some pics - just needed one of the connectors chopping off and welded on again with a 90deg bend (not actually required i think, but it gives me more room!) and a couple of pipes made up!
and my welded circlip:
now then m8 great project looks like its goin well, i was just wondering where you got that nurburgring sticker from because ive been seeing them about and as seen as i am going to the nurburgring in august i thought it would be quite good to have one myself. cheers m8 keep up the good work

the best place to get them from is the cafe next to the 'ring entrance itself! 
3 sizes and many colours available (mines the middle size, white). the nice thing about these stickers is that it's just the track outline only, the centre is empty, so looks great!
from page 1:
and just to add,
I've connected up my PAS pipes and now have nice light working PAS!!
need to adjust the clutch down a bit and it'll be great to drive again

wasnt sure whether to put this in here or in media, but im more after the mechanical side of it than pimping a video!
did a few speed runs tonight with some videos
tbh, its s**t
very very slow for what it is imo. it doesnt like 3rd at all.
my downpipe is not sealed at all and is blowing like a mofo - hence why it sounds like i have no exhaust on at all (not even a manifold)
is an exhaust likely to kill it that much? or have i wasted 6 months on a conversion? :?
also running on 95 ron, no vpower for miles - does that affect it at all?
also, im getting a fair bit of blue smoke (so oil) on over run... piston rings?! the engine is supposedly new! - i have a decat + straight through, but even my 117k valver lump was no where near as bad!!
'92 172, Lotus Elise
she made it to FCS!!
did a bit of brapppp on the track
and then
on the M1 at about 20mph when it started to surge. few minutes later the fuel pump packed up
might also explain the poor performance? - it was as quick as a williams only down the straights
also...
and this is a good one...
bottom end might be fucked.
I get *lots* of smoke on over run and a bit when i boot it too :dapprove: - wheres ben_p!!

was looking for your car at fcs couldnt find you mate was gonna pop over for a chat.
well.. its not the end of the world.
leave the engine in to do the rings sump off head off then i reckon you'll get away with deglazing the bores with a hone tool and a set of rings
man of your new found talents easy done in a day
