Edd's Nova Sport

[sport]

Needs to be seen with decals on.

[Edd]

You luck *******! I really really want some exip wheels for mine, but there either A, only available in iffy offset, or B, only available Europe..!

Nice, makes me wish I'd said yes to some now

I was quite lucky to get them from Jeff tbh, don't see many in decent offset

I will give you a ring mate when I get a spare minute

Why arnt they fitted yet?

back on shift again now

Looking at the width, I think the 175 tyres I have will be too stretched, thinking another set with 185 might be needed now

You wanna spend less time smoking in the thing when wasted and actually do some graft

that was funny, especially falling asleep in it with mega hangover

I can't even open the door on it atm due to parts pilled up around it

Needs to be seen with decals on.

It does, all in good time mate

Looks like someone has tried nicking it atm tho

Serious graft (as Andy puts it) will be starting now

[Edd]

Good boy! Now go and fit them! You'll need some 5mm spacers per side on the fronts as they'll hit the tie rod ends...
Spacers are still here. Let me know if you need them and I'll send them over, for free of course!

Cheers Jeff, I did think about spacers for the front, will drop you a text bout them

What width tyres you have on them?

You reckon 185 's will rub the front wings with spacers on?

[Edd]

Still have running issues

Start up
Ticks over at 1300rpm
Down to 900rpm when warm

THEN slowly over 5 minutes the revs just keep rising

10 minutes and it's up at 4000 rpm!!!!!!!!

Got this to try



Please please please post up any suggestions as I'm nearly ready to get the axe out

This problem is one of the reasons I haven't put it back on the road this year, just can't get to the bottom of it, tried everything

[Royston]

Hi Edd, Didn't know you had any issues with the injection

My SR starts in a similar manner as yours i.e.


Start up
Ticks over at 1300rpm
Down to 900rpm when warm

but tick over remains stable

I had my air flow meter refurbed many years ago and was never used until I fitted the kit

Are you using the Thermotime control, looks like an ICV?

Can you post a recent pic of the engine bay, I'm lost off where you're at, sorry for not paying attention!

have you got a softer cam in now?

[Edd]

Hi mate

Yeah ICV is on, tried a couple I have, maybe I need to find a brand new one

Standard SR cam is in now

[Novasport]

Still have that Bosch LE2 tester here. Get yer **** up here to fetch your bits and you can borrow it

thanks Rich, definitely going to come up at the end of the month

How/where do you plug that tester in?
What will it tell me?


I'm also thinking I might need to find a spare ECU to try

[Novasport]

I could maybe lend you an ECU.

[Benn]

Have you popped the top off the AFM, iirc you can see the bit more inside as it meters.. Maybe check that's free.
