Title: Car running at last.
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 16 August 2008, 13:08:21

Well, cambelt, oil cooler seals etc all done. Omega fired up first time off the booster, was tappety to start but is nice and smooth now. Been for a 2 mile run so I suspect Mr Rubber bit has come out the exhaust in a puff of smoke!

That's great news James, and it was pretty clear that would happen in regards to the piece of rubber..............but, it must be a relief!!! ;D

I'm just off to buy a set of steelie's to A) Keep my legal for a little while  ::) but mainly so I can take my alloys off and refurb them, before fitting new tyres and getting WIMmed...

wahay, your in business. You must have done all the usual jobs. Fancy doing a cost sheet of what you paid verses what a stealer would charge? No, i wouldnt either, but i bet the differance is enormous. Whats it go like?

Stink, especially now I've got both multirams working - in the higher end of the rev range it's awesome :y

Still only 25mpg on a 65mph run, though - some more tinkering is needed!
