probably not the best idea to be honest...itll only be for 30 seconds to check she fires over so it should be fine- i'd only have to take it all back off again if theres a problem and that would be a pain so im not promoting it as a great idea lol...but its what im gonna do at my own peryl should there be one

progress is flying in at the moment as im working nights at work...and days on the car haha,problem is im in need of some sleep!!!!
today i did the following...
fitted the spax rsx adjustables up back and altered the brake compensator/bias valve to its loosest while i was there-should be about right as with no weight in the back doesnt sit too low(my old one was fine like this...ill soon find out if im sideways on a corner )


also fitted the full stainless and a brand spanking lambda sensor (i bought one off here and when it arrived it was superglued together where he'd obviously broken it taking it out-DEADBEAT!)
i put some coolant in and after all that i fired her up and just let it warm up correctly-little bit of tapping till the new oil got round then all was great!! i know its what you expect but after the polava i had with the last engine i paid good money for it was a nice relief (big thanks to ben (ly51ohh)who i bought this one off for being a decent seller)

couple of the system...




tommorow (if i manage to wake up) im gonna put the shafts in,anti-roll bar and blocks back on,and secure the rad with the new brackets ive made..

also ive conjured these up out of a set of clear mhw's...kinda mk5 astra style... need to see what they look like on the car though- i may just do them fully red but wanted sumat a little different but hopefully tastefull...what you think???

Not keen on the lights, maybe paint the top half and leave a red stripe across the middle.

Good progress though
