Well I think I have gone as far as I can with the conversion, I need to either get the car on some roller to simulate driving and see how it performs and get it set up. Not sure when I can get that done so went for plan B-

 

Car is off for a MOT today, thought at least I can drive her down and see what happens, not expecting a pass in a million years but at least it gets a run and I can see what jobs I need to add to the list.

 

Will post some pics up later!!!

good luck with that mine is in bits at moment stripped engine down heads going in on mon to be pressure tested and checked if they need scimming who knows perhaps we1ll have a meet soon been long time...

good luck let us know how its

 

what power you expecting when finished?

Anthony there is a guy in Llandough with a roller if you need his details let me know.

Mike

good luck bud

Well what an eventful day to say the least!

 

I have finally worked out how arrange the wood sleepers to get the car off the drive without scraping. So drove to the MOT station but 200m away they have a tempoary ramp to cover some water lines so I slowed right down to go over it but the front scraped. I stopped, then realised the car had stalled, tried to restart but the battery was dead :headvswal

 

Called the garage who I know really well, 2 minutes later he turned up with a booster pack and started the car and got it over the ramp, took the pack off and engine died, no battery warning lights. So with the bonnet up and booster pack on I drove the car the last 200m at 10mph peeking through the gap to see where I was going.

 

Quick test confirmed no charge going to the battery, got the car up on the ramp to look, quick call to jimmer and Zed World- revealed a slight wiring error! Considering I have changed the efi, fuse box and gearbox looms this was my 1st cock up, I missed two of the wires off the back of the alternator.

 

I had a choice, find them, fix and no MOT test or test on a spare battery- took the MOT test!

 

The result, a fail but fully expected that. Points-

 

Number plate

Driver side seat belt recoil

O/S headlamp not working- it was bad connection.

N/S and O/S top suspension arm bush worn

 

That's it, really happy with that :hyper:

 

So left the car there and back down tomorrow morning to sort alternator wiring so I can drive it home and fix the other bits. Will take it back next Friday with fixed bits and get a ticket and then tax!!:hyper::hyper:

 

Ok so still can't hammer it as need to fit another cooling fan and the EBC, then get it set up but at least I can get some miles on it.

nice to hear only a few little problems. will be mental when its going and im sure you'll enjoy it.

nice one mate, hope it works out for ya
