Project Avant+

[Ross]

Nah that's gonna have to go... along with the 3B head that Tom did a top rebuild on!

Gotta pay for all that titanium, stainless + iconnel that's now in the ABY head somehow (GT3071's are a bit common now, had to add something special in the name of science and experiementation!)

The head is due back weds... *watch this space *

[Ross]

Recognise this Jon? :mischeif:

[Jon441cc]

I remember it being clocked the right way when it left mine Any porting/polishing work being done on the head ?

[Ross]

No, had to draw the line somewhere... the coil packs were looking pretty ugly so 034 high-output coils had to take priority. Besides, gotta leave something for next time... perhaps next year, I could go reverse IM with a big-IC and get a port match and a bit of polishing on the EM side

[Jamo]

Hey Ross has your car returned from being rebuilt?

[Corey]

Not yet!!! Long story don't ask, she has been a painful trial for both Ross and I and she has fought us every step of the way.

[Ross]

As Corey said - it's been a real challenge... problem after problem and i've not even been behind the wheel now in over 3 months. Combined with some serious issues insuring it since the accident (renewal has finally got here), the car is sapping my confidence and I'm not sure where this one will end yet...

Updates *fingers crossed* to follow shortly, some engine bay pics perhaps, and at this rate a for sale thread son after!!

[Rusty]

Keep in there Ross, these things are sent to try us!

[terrybullwon]

Gone quite on the western front?

[Ross]

Yeah it has... I'm at the end of my teather over this one. Seems that there's problem, after problem, after problem... I think Corey's gone away this week so I doubt there'll be any further news for another 7 days either.

Latest is that the engine is mysteriously losing compression on no.1 cylinder. Can't really comment on any more until i can get hold of Corey, but I want one last effort to get this beast up n' running over the next 2 weeks, or I'm afraid it could be game over for this year, in which case I'll bring the project "in house" and run some form of oil burner till the spring...

So, 'till next week-

Ross

fingers crossed it gets sorted sooner rather than later mate!

[Al Wyn]

Bloody hell matey you must have been S2 less for nearly half a year!!!!! You will have forgoten what it looks like! Cant be right.... can it

[Laurel]

I have to express my suspicions on this one....I'm not sure this Corey guy is being totally honest with you. He's doing one of two things:

1.) Lying about everything and simply allowing your S2 so sit in the garage collecting dust and what not, while he gets on with more pressing projects

OR

2.) He's lying about everything and secretly taking your beloved car out on joy rides.

Of course, I'm sure that made you feel better about the whole thing....
