Also want to say big thanks to Matt Harwood for coming in very late on Friday night to load up my base map. After re-build & Matt Harwood putting in base map car turn over first time & all running perfect ready for running in with AFR's going between 14.2 - 15.2 & running as sweet as a nut. No leaks or mishaps what so ever & car returned in same condition as it went in. Done 250 miles tonight & another 750 miles to go & not taking it over 2500 RPM 70-80 MPH through out the period of this week & then all booked in for Wednesday the 26th when Mark gets back for check over / oil & filter change + Matt Harwood to install & set up Aquamist Water Injection kit. Then once done off to Ian C to wave his magic hands with mapping it all up can't wait. Big thanks to all once again for doing a great thorough job with all that went on Many thanks Lui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lui Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Latest up date as you all know got my car back from Mark@Pheonix Sunday night, that night straight way done 300 miles. Went out last night & returned this lunchtime to put a extra 800 miles onto the running in. Engine so far has not missed a beat & sounds great / nothing falling apart / no water or oil leaks / great air fuel ratios on base map. What more can one ask for so far now car is fully run in in three days & what a dream doing it after being with out it for the past 2.5 months. Next stage back to Mark @Phoenix next Wednesday for oil/ filter change & full check over + Matt Harwood to install Aquamist water injection kit. Then all ready For Ian C to map her up the following week hopefully & can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
