Yaaaaayyyyy!

Finally running, bet it felt good to hear it.

I thought this day would never come lol

I was starting to think the day would never come too :/ BUT its here and it runs...... Apart from a few little issues like a fuel leak and sticky thermostat etc its running smoothly.......

The cams are smoother than i thought which is awesome, itll suit the stealth theme :D Itll be quiet and not sound like a tractor soon once the exhaust is back on!

Well tune wont be complete today :( But the hold up has been the exhaust shop so it doesnt matter....... I know its in the best possible place!

Apparently with the half tune on E60 and low boost its already making in the 280's so hopefully good things to come tomorrow, time will tell i guess.

They reckon it sounds like a baby T51r too which is what i thought, AWESOME :woot:

E-Flex is only E70ish so i assume that means less power than if it was true E85? But at the end of the day the clutch is likely to fail over a certain KW anyway so i am sure it will be fun!

Yes Things are coming along nicely , and may I say bring on the high boost.

So, it will be finished on Monday.... Bugger.... But still, really happy with everything so far :D

The official figures at the moment are 283rwkw on only gate pressure of 1 bar so should make a nice amount of power on the full tune with another 6-7 psi and E85 :yes:

Saw your car today, looks nice. Should see well into the 300s on E85 and 20ish psi.

Thanks man! Appreciate it...

Hope yours went well? Adam will give it a tune on Monday and see how the thing goes with the quiet exhaust!!

Like Legal 90db type quiet.... It's 3inch with high flow car but had big Jasma approved mufflers which I am sure are a restriction.... It's a

Sacrifice that you gotta make on a street car though to get it legal I guess... :)

Still running on the dyno but couldnt be happier with the first result today -

320rwkw on only 15psi! I am so impressed!

So you know you wanna swap cars with me yeah?? Yours is done now, that's no fun, mine still has plenty for you to mess with :P

Seriously though man, awesome result. Hurry up with the graph, I wanna see what the curve looks like! I like the glovebox too, looks mad. Personally wouldn't like the wideband hidden away like that but I'm just jelly :laugh:

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
