r0cknr0lla Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 On to the next step now.. Purchased some 630cc injectors and walbro 255 pump. Stock fuel system far from ideal for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cknr0lla Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Were & how much on injectors & pump mate Courtesy of Dr Jekyll for the injectors (can pick these up for around (100 - 200 depending on cc)and got new pump privately but SRD sells new for around £80 delivered iirc.

r0cknr0lla Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Small update... Car was not running properly with the stock fuel setup.. 330 injectors were maxed out at 5k rpm. The fuel pressure was also lower than it should be.. Needless to say it needed sorting. Purchased a set of 630cc siemens injectors and walbro 255lph fuel pump. Sent for remapping and the results were day and night.. Car is running beautifully now. Have purchased a stainless cooling plate, SRD expansion tank and the car is currently atSRD and having shine replica diffuser fitted. The car has had very bad camber on the rear so whilst trying to have it sorted we dicovered the rear subframe had been knocked at some stage resulting in the camber adjusting nearly impossible. SRD are currently changing the rear subframe and bushes so this should be sorted now. The blue intake pipe is also going to be changed as I have purchased a chrome one. The car is also booked for a Banzai feature shoot on 8th March which I am well happy about! Can't wait!! Pic of the car with cooling plate fitted...

r0cknr0lla Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Small update peeps.. Rear subframe has been replaced and car is spot on now.. drives beautifully! Shout out to Lee P for sorting this issue. We discovered that the engine bay loom & Electric fan cables had been rubbing on the wheels. The fan wire nearly gone right through. These were relocated and replaced in parts and the arch liners were then fitted back in the vehicle. SRD also fitted a replica shine rear diffuser that I purchased... https://photos-4.dropbox.com/t/2/AABiOAyCHuI0b1sZH5KA8zbLnZ6n5pJH2sR_5L-_LGPtMw/12/55268926/jpeg/32x32/1/_/1/2/2016-02-28%2016.41.47.jpg/EKnl1CoYseUBIAcoBw/d4e6eYQQbV_b02twS4VRi9QbhUy_P9_-lUgFqjQURUQ%2Cuwbih3RYnJBWzXcBDyNoe_MhvV287L12nF2zXQ3lG9Q?size=1280x960&size_mode=3 Also purchased a set of rear hockey sticks to fill up the side of the diffuser.. big thanks to Simon/Baldy at ABS Autobody Sussex for taking care of these for me! The Banzai was postponed until 21st March so Mr Supraleeturbo from Exquisite Detailing will be having a go at the vehicle on Sunday 20th to be ready for the shoot. Bit unusual but the car has become quite the film star... this picture was spotted on Facebook from what seems to be the notorious 'Fake Taxi' lol... Although the picture doesn't add-up it is quite amusing. https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfl1/v/t1.0-9/1917552_10208570603600155_743245633305684480_n.jpg?oh=9691a8a3607449d791b910672334c313&oe=578F0A96 Edited March 17, 2016 by r0cknr0lla (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syco Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 must admit, was a tad worried to see how this would turn out when first saw how you were doing the holes in the engine bay but has I kept reading and you took note from various comments/recommendations from others, I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing this transformation and you have done a grand job buddy. your car looks stunning and you should be proud mate. great job.

Pudsey Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Just caught up on the progress. What a great job you have done on saving the car from certain death. Makes a lovely turbo chatter sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cknr0lla Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Thanks for that gents.. much appreciated. There are a few updates.. Car was in Banzai (This months issue).. so a few pics from that.. Came out really well and had 6 page spread which Im really happy about. Car has been to a few shows this year and had an unfortunate bump at Tunerfest and had to have the drivers side redone.. but thanks to Blady she is back on the road again. Few slight changes since the last update.. Dash inserts are now white and there is a black lip around sides and front.. Have to say I am well impressed with the XS-Power kit too.. has not skipped a beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
