Funny you mention Cadwell Park , its not 10 minutes from where I am buying the car :) (the most likely candidate anyway...pending Sunday's inspection.)

Chuckie, are you a local? Anywhere you suggest that could give the car a once over. The people I am speaking with are all miserable and as soon as I call from Australia they are not interestd. More then anything just need a compression check of the engine.

Other pain in the as55 is telegraphic transfer may take up to 3 days so not sure how I can speed up the process other then to withdraw cash and where the fees :(

And yes people, this car is soo trashy and so me.... only a romantic would pay the asking price for this dinosaur :)

edit..scrap that...silly UK. Lincolnshire ... confused it with Lancashire :(

Hi Roy have some mates up bit further but maybe able to give me heads up on a local guy i will ask them,

Look Cadwell is a wonderful track it has the LOT hills a nice JUMP pinch.gif ,cars do FLY lol.not as well as the BIKES do :whistling: ,

i will drop you a PM see what i can do to help you out,

Cheer`s Chuckie.

Just waiting for Police and insurance check...already has AP 6pots and 18" Compomotive wheels, even a matching spare. Even runs pectel ecu, so only the best gear has been used on it..so that means I am on the hunt fir a Pi dash to run with it

oh yeh, thats the plan. Will see if it breaks. Figure that Count bought an S13 from Melb years ago...only for us to pay for it and go straight to PI for the weekend...the thing ran spot on...so have to see if the Cossie can match that performance...there is also a day at lmola this Friday... problem will be getting there if payment takes more then two days to clear

..Good thing to know that insurance companies are carnts no matter which country you are in. Not a single broker or mainstream insurer will cover me due to not being a UK resident, not holding a UK licence or the type of car (or combination of) So knowing they blew me off over the email last week, didnt expect after 5 hours of calling over 12 insurers that I would not have a policy

Snowie, or anyone else...any throughts or experiences when you were looking at exporting your cars over here for giggles. The one thing i didnt count on is in all my previous discussions I had a work permit as was a resident...not the case now....just a lowly gypsy on holidays

Fark, this is the country of club motorsport, classic cars, and students and professional secondment. Cant believe you need to be a UK resident/licenced to get a car. I asked what would happen if I flew over from Ireland and needed to get the car insured until i got back to Ireland and they didnt know :(

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
