Thanks guys, I was initially concerned about how well my little toy would go down on Cliosport, so it's great to have so much positive comment.

looking good andy, how long till you want more power
are you asking when my GTiR will be running, or when my 5 will be running?
I think it's probably OK for power, it might see a few 'cheap' tweaks, but I'm not in the £100 for 3hp game, and I can't be bothered with a decat. It really wants the bugs ironing out, and a bit of a restoration as I've neglected that side.
anyway, who has a good 225 engine and box going cheap

That's so awesome.
I bet it's an animal to drive!

it's got an MOT
and an ugly looking patch on it's sill
it'll get fixed properly some time.
It all went a bit depressing when I dropped it off for welding yesterday, as I slowed down the revs stayed very high, and as I tried to find reverse all it would do was grind the gears
I popped out and stuck my thumb over the ISCV pipe which dropped the revs right down, so it was either a stuck valve, or the ECU was holding it open. Got back in and decided to switch off, select reverse, then restart to allow it to reverse. Went to start, and nothing
, I pushed it back, dropped the keys off with the garage, and went to work.
I had a call later to say that the battery was completely flat, and it started OK after a boost. This got me thinking. If the battery voltage was low the ECU may well try to open the ISCV to give it some charge, obviously the high revs would make reverse difficult, so the only problem I had was why wasn't it charging, and was something flattening the battery?
I popped up to the garage at lunch time to have a look around, and immediately spotted that the battery cable to the alternator was very loose and about to fall off. Tightened the nut and everything was fixed
