greenmac80 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 yay the day has come... the motor runs and seems to run well. can't rev it or anything as the water pump is shagged so there isn't any water in the system.. this will be sorted out on the wkend... also will have the clutch cylinders finished off by sunday as well. so i'll be able to take it for its first spin around the shed complex. 3 doors left to hang and polish... front guards need polishing as well as the bonnet. then its finished!!! i can smell victory... lol. big thanks to jono for the wiring... work is neat as lovin it.

greenmac80 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 ok so i continued on with polishing this arvo... also tried to figure out what the hideous hissing/howling noise was coming from the intake side of the engine. i believe my fpr is semi rooted... kinda explains why the car is hard to start after 1 day... so on the list this week... front windscreen seal single wire 02 sensor.. setup the clutch cylinders. touch up my gaurd and one of my doors. finish polishing fit doors and install glass. DRIVE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmac80 Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 so it drives!!! and it drives really nicely... revs up real quick very responsive and smooth!!! exhaust note is nice.. sounds great on limiter.. induction noise from the pod is great. thermo fan setup works really nicely... blows a gale when they turn on. clutch is nice and grabby and being hydraulic it has a nice feel to it. glass is going in on tuesday.

SLO-030 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Congrats dude! Sparks sound like the flywheel hitting the adaptop plate. Check clearances when you pull the motor out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmxsexmonkey Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 hey hey hey. i'm SORRY tom but i feel at home with that umbrella. that could be your engine trying to earth out? considering you have 1 small earth running marn... food for thought.
