looking good matey, sorry not been about for a while, all been a bit manic then had a few days away. catch up soon and keep up the good work, any chance it'll be fit for ADI???? :-)

Unfortunately no, maybe next years one

Pete, thats not waxoil. Its powersteering fluid thats got hot. It had a longterm leak before i got it, over time its covered everything in the stuff. Its a pig to get off as youve probably found out. Good to see my old aan will be going into a good home

Must have been a bad one, it had gone underneath the car as well, the upside is, there is no rust anywhere lol and yeah I need to move the bottom end ready to start on that but got to source the bits to convert it to aby spec (pulley's etc)

Good update Pete, engine looks to be in good shape.

Just needs a BIG turbo

Yup and a bottle of the good stuff

A bit of gas should help get that snail on boost

True but have to wait till i've got some spare cash atm all i'm doing is fitting the bits i've got atm as its free only thing i'd like to do is run the nitrous pipework underneath the carpet before it goes back in.

[quattronutter]

just run it undreneath along with the fuel lines

Just read this over again Pete, good progress

Rust looked kinda scary at points.

How much power are you aiming for with this one?

[Acidburn]

lol not sure yet, don't want to get into the chasing numbers game that some other forum members have done, I tried that with my last one. Atm just putting what stuff I have on the car till I have more time/money to progress this quicker.

[Jonnybravo]

Don't get into chasing numbers ! never a good thing.

As for where to run the lines I wouldn't run them right under the carpet, just tuck it down the side trim so you have easier access, you don't want it under the car where its going to get hot and more than likely going to be quite long to stay out of the way of other parts.

[Jonnybravo]

Why ?

Your increasing the length of the pipework by doing that and ideally you want it as short as possible.

Ideally run it down the side trims of the car, up behind the dash and through the bulkhead as close as possible to the pulsoids.

I've done probably 50 installs now and that is how they should be done.

If the feed line is going behind trims you may as well just use the nylon hose as its less likely to get damaged in a trimmed car, I prefer to use braided on cars with no interiors as there is a chance that the hose could get knocked or damaged.

[Acidburn]

Must admit i'd prefer having it inside the car than underneath, something less to worry about getting damaged hence wanting to put it in before the carpet.

It was a choice between nitrous or a sub-box / amp combo so hopefully i'm making the right decision, last time I had a decent pair of subs and amp in a t/85 cq it would flex the roof and sport q rear spoiler

Also since changing the dash wiring from the original stock y reg wiring to the later wiring (first lot from a type 85 coupe gt, second lot from type 85 cq apparently) i'm still missing one plug from the wiring shown in this picture, i'm not sure if its seperate but can anyone shed some light on this, or is it part of the engine section for rev gauge etc (its part 14 on the picture)



And even after specifically asking if the full loom had the diff lock wiring it seems it still does not so have to find out whats happened and if i've got the correct loom which means I can't put the diff lock panel in till i've done this section which is a pita as I wanted to do some modding to the panel now i've got it.

Your getting there Pete, keep it going! Nice work!

[Acidburn]

Nitrous kit now sold after going out in a similar weight s2 saloon, decided it wasn't needed on the car.

Anyone know of good places to get some custom water hoses made up?

[Jonnybravo]

Samco do a nice flexible hose that can be very useful Pete on custom installs.

[dest]

Roose can make bespoke pipes, not cheap though!

[s2_bo]

Good progress there Pete. How long do you think till you'll be driving it?
And I'm also very jealous of your aircraft hangar unit. my single garage isn't even big enough to fit half the car in
