it made that when mapped, and at awesome too, problem with the loom somewhere bad earth somewhere i think, tachometer had a world of its own sometimes and horn and hazards will never work as when i change the fuse it just blows sparks in my face lol, thats what the problem is and pauls rollers didnt seem to like it lol, if i went back to where i got it mapped or awesome tmoz it would made 155ish again and would peak at 7.2k unlike flattening out at 6.5k at RST

Failed MOT earlier!

offside ball joint;
offside number plate bulb;
warning lights on dash;
tow eyes;
Horn doesnt work;
hazzards dont work;
brake hoses rubbing the inner tyre walls;
flat spot on the offside front wheel where is went into that unmarked central reservation...

BUT passed on emissions tho due to it having a modified engine

so tmoz im gonna put a fuse in for the hazzards and horn and hopefully it wont blow... sort both front brake hoses... get a new bulb for number plate... and hes gonna do the ball joint and a re-test on monday for us... he said he'll let us off with the warning lights and tow eyes and the front wheel with the flat spot in as i told him the weights are gonna have to be changed to clear the calipers as the weights are in a different position the rears lol

happy days

mat-nos · Dec 11, 2009

jamie rigby · Dec 12, 2009

Just took the boss and wheel off, one of the wires connecting onto the boss area had like been weared away at and was shorting out against the boss, simpley turned the wires around, taped everything up, jobs a good un'

Braided hoses tie wrapped out of tyres reach lol

Towing eyes re-painted too

jamie rigby · Dec 13, 2009

Came over a few little ideas/plans over the past coule of days...

Picked up adams old sparco suede steering wheel last nite as its slightly smaller and has no dish so should be perfect on the extended boss i have atm... will be fitting that inabit...
Single wiper conversion again...
Vibratechnics upper engine mount (only one i need now)...
8 ball gear knob again too lol...
Kenlowe fan off andy...
still need some R88s for the sparewheels...
still need to fit my rear bem polybushes which are right next to me lol

jamie rigby · Dec 13, 2009

old wheel -

new wheel -

old one might look better but new one certainly feels much better driving position... when i had a wheel this size in my black zs i couldnt see 2-4k on the tachometer but with this boss can easily see it all

jamie rigby · Dec 14, 2009

done! MOT passed!!!!!!!!! lower offside arm replaced and also got the tracking done on the way home

altho he still wasnt happy with where i put the brake pipes lol... hopefully pull the bulbs out of the lights too at the weekend.

what do we think?, cheers to f0xy just done these quick for us to see what its like... i think black suits it best!...

dunno tbh, but after the MOT he asked me whats it running, so i told him the spec etc etc then he said 'is it still a 1250cc as in 1.25 LOL'... shows how much he knows lol

jamie rigby · Dec 17, 2009

Cars looking very sad for itself atm, not been washed for 6 weeks or so, still cant be arsed tho as its freeeeezin', its not been driven or even unlocked since monday lol -

So started out but switching the front wheels with the rears as i got an advisory on th MOT for having a flat spot on the front wheel, so thought itd be best to swap both fronts with the rears, that meant i had to get the rear ones re-balanced as the weights were previously put on right behind the spokes where they would catch the calipers, just like when i did my discs and pads a few months ago...

next on the list was to re-locate the brake pipes as the MOT tester still wasnt quite happy with them so ive cable ties them to the coilovers instead of the chassis itself

then fixed the exhasut as its been blowing for aaaaaages, hope it still pops and bangs tho, hopefully it will

also topped up the gearbox oil as theres a slight leak coming from one of the driveshaftseals where they exit the gearbox

Checked the oil and still hasnt gone down since the oulton trackday

oh new gear knob arrrived this morning too

well i would of thought two wipers is going to be twice as good as one, and would disperse twice the amount of water?

rainex and one wiper is sufficient, less weight too and tidier engine bay.. and the fact is i wish i dident sell my old one now as i want one again!

also getting the track wheels sandblasted hopefully too this week
