I know, but unfortantly I have to drive this to work at 6:30 in the morning, so I think my neighbours would hate me for hear it start up and go off down the road, they already hear me on the highway which is about 4kms away

refitted my augner big mouth today, was a rather tight fit, I think that fact my radiator support is bent a fair way doesn't help at all

auto electricians are ment to be coming tomorrow to sort out all my little issues, then extractors Wednesday and hopefully a tune before the end of the week

also picked up a new Colum from the wreckers so I can get rid of my groaning f**k one

I don't know what it is but your pics of the DOHC make it look absolutely massive in your engine bay.

it's a lot taller and about 1.5 inchs wider but it seems to have more work able room around the motor if that make sence

old ones are on until I get this on the road for good and my ball joints have been fixed so I don't chew out a set of invo's

since getting all my issues sorted out this morning the motor will now sometimes start up and run for about 30 seconds and then start back firing rather harsh in which I shut the motor down ASAP I'm thinking it's a tune related issue,


so this arvo, i'm going to fit the extractors, and hopefully organise to get this b**ch tuned before the end of the week,

obd, they re did 2 pins
tacho, I'd plugged a wire into a place it wasn't ment to go to,
oil pressure, the main power wire had come lose and the earth wire has snapped at a join,

and horn they pulled the airbag off to fix something up, wasn't the clock spring though
