Dave's silky GSi rebuild.

[*Dave*]

hey guys thanks for all the comments

not been on here for ages and had trouble with logging in

[*Dave*]

the car has been off the road since sept/oct due to that horrible time of year so here's a bit of an update

few engine mods in april which were later style head fully ported and manifolds matched,SBD 278/284 cams,titanuim valve caps,SBD springs and platforms,turbo sport adjustable pulleys all held down with ARP headstuds and cometic headgasket

also got the new wheels on (team dynamics pro race 3's) made from magnesium and in a custom colour
managed to get hold of some hispec billet 4 brakes so i bought some mintex 1144 pads a dot 5.1 fluid and the work awsome!

had the car mapped in may at Dynotech in Erith,Kent by my girlfriends dad who is a well known mitibushi evo tuner and he is an absolute genius!
it made 179bhp which im very pleased with but had developed a problem in september which was with the throttle bodies being out of balanced leading to cycliner 2 not gettin any air on idle causing it to misfire and flood along with the fuel pressure regulator being up and down

does anybody know a good place to balance my throttle bodies? as iv tried doing it my self but not had much luck

Mocal are usually the best ones to go for iirc

put a decent fuel reg on it and then speak to track n road about ballencing boddies. im sure lee had a fuel reg if he has fit that.

you need to let me paint that front pannel again ! ive still got spare paint from when i done it before.
