Dedication  

Great pics, love 'em  

Here's a few cheeky pictures I took while at work



I also decided to revamp the front brakes. Safe to say it stops 10 tens better

Looks tidy, nice work

How long did it take?

First flick of the key and she's alive, so I treated her to a wash

 I popped to my local garage and asked to use there gas analyser to set the CO. Turned it down from a whopping 7.4% to 2.0%. Runs lovely and smooth from cold and from hot. 
Pulled up at the local watering hole filled her up and set off for the maiden voyage..  


No issues as of yet.. 🤔

It's been a while since my last post and a lots changed..
The Dcoe's have now been removed, mainly because they are a pain!! I got fed up with them and decided I'm going back to k jet for the time being. 

I had all the bits anyway and thought id start cleaning them and have a go at polishing 

Not bad for my first attempt 

I removed the hole carb setup including the loom. I had another ce1 16v loom kicking about, Just need to be shortening and lengthened as the mk2 fuse box comes in the opposite side. 

With help from rubjohn (as we all have) I got it all wired up

That's quality, fair play can  I order one 

Ha, I love it mate, that's well cool.

Might have to speak to the missis about me having one!:)

Holy sh**t that's cool

Awesome

Really happy with the BBQ so I cracked open a few beers and got cooking.. 😀

Back to my car now. I'm booked in to have the twins set up in the morning.. Finally. 

I'll be on the stand at Stanford hall again this year to thanks to Anna letting me have a space.

The first Test went well so time for a lick of paint 

Recent update, I been saving my pennies to get the twins set up, so in the mean time Iv built my BBQ 👍🏻
 

Webers are now fitted and she's up and running. Just needs to go back to Northhamton motor sport for some tuning 


I hadn't finished fitting the linkage when I took that picture but it's all done now 

Sound brilliant even tho it's not set up yet  

Wow, that looks nice and clean!  

Hmmm I like this!!

That was one of the options but then it would need a modified loom and I just could be bothered with all that, with the dcoe's it's just a case of tuning them. Then if I add cams for example it's just a re tune on the rollers again! No messing easy tuning 



 They have been delivered and the nice guy has changed the internals for the spec of my engine so today is going to be a fun filled day 



Iv re fitted the 16v loom and ecu already so just a case of bolting these bad boys on 

Hey my no plate is similar to yours, was issued 100 and something after yours, With regard ecu , would it not be better to get a programmable one?

Went to get it set up



 but hit big problems as they can't remap the ecu so now it's going to dcoe 45's  

So much better without arch trims !!!!
