Tallpaul Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 As a long time lurker just thought I would drop in to say we're all really tired after reading your physical and emotional journey for 299 pages of thread, so you must be bloody knackered! Looking good though, and the end is in sight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Mine runs quite unstable...2000cc injectors replaced 850, Syvec ecu replaces AEM, 280cams instead of 264. During run in, the revs needs to be pushed progressively up. Ryan will check to make sure everthing is OK. He dialed into mine and checked everything out and was happy so mine is ready for run in as I havnt changed the injectors from my last setup yet.

Looking good though, and the end is in sight... Not tired at all. I'm just getting started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Spent some time on the car lady night and she's ready for MOT now. I just need to raise the suspension a little and it's game on. Guess it's going to get its 1st road test on the way to the MOT station. Once I get the suspension lifted ill bet it in. Getting excited now.

hodge Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Well good and bad news really. The bad news is I didn't get a chance to see about an MOT today. My so. Was playing football for the school and I went to see him play after work, and after we got away I wouldn't have made the garage Good news is, I managed to lift up the back suspension and take her for a run out, up the road and back. It drives like a dream and sounds amazing. Much better crisp noise tone than my last setup. I'm going to lift the front up tomorrow and pop out for another run, a little longer this time then back home for an oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
