went to car today to find some joker has graffiti'd it with abuse



i dont get it. id rather drive any car than push one. bizarre.



slick sorted the wiring out for the fuel pumps. he is rather handy with wires and solder.

prime the pump up. quite quiet that is.

aint that bad when the engine is running. hasnt been started in a few months. fired right up no bothers. nice to hear it running again. no leaks to report.

monday will go and tidy up some more wiring, put other chair in and basically sort it out and fetch it home ready to have the glass put back in next week.

going to leave the boost the same as it is for now at 1.6bar. will increase rev limit to 7750 though from 7200 and see how it goes.

things to do

sort wiring
re-fit carbon door cards and trim rears to fit
buy 2x r888's for front
roll cage padding
tax and mot
fit passenger side seat
check and adjust the map

thats about it. will be driving about in it next week hopefully if it passes its mot.

Think I'll just stick to xe ones wen I change the turbo then, not sure weather to keep the inlet cam retarded 7deg as it is now or run on standard marks though

set them up via that guide that was in total vauxhall. or if its going on mappable let the person mapping it play about with them.

http://sbdev.co.uk/Camshafts/Camshafts_20/Camshafts_20.htm

set at the bottom is the ones i was going to think about getting. needs solid lifters aswell though.

I'm using evo chips for now. The inlet cams set at 7deg retard at the min but not sure wether to put it on standard marks along with the xe exhaust cam wen the new turbo goes on. Can't seem to find any info so I'll get it on the dyno some time and have a play

7 degrees crank I hope? Otherwise you are running a hole tooth behind.

other seat other harness in and some other bits sorted.







nearly a car again.



my 700bhp of cars.

took it for a little drive round the air filed etc. feels a lot stiffer. did a couple of wheelspins also. on way back to my mates unit i was navigating around some potholes that were giant muddles. i didnt navigate properly and splashed into one, which then sent about 11 litres of water direct at my face. a windscreen would have saved the day. oh well.
