not bad going after spending £190 for the lot (inc. car)

[Connor]

bargain lol
whats your engine plans for it then?

[napalm_27]

e16se been thinking about bike carbs but will decide once i have the engine in and running

[Connor]

sounds good :thumb:

[napalm_27]

well if i cant find a e16se im going to get a c16xe if possible and then do the same with that

[Edd]

looks a bargain,

what other plans you got for it ?

[napalm_27]

not much really tbh not going mad with it just yet till i get a decent income
just stick it on a decent suspension setup and set of alloys and bigger brakes for now and just have some fun

then once the money comes in again il have it all apart again and go for some fibreglass panels full cage etc and then have some more fun

and then spend some more on it but the main plan is to stick with a small block not go mad with the engine so if it grenades itself then i can just change it to another with no real hassle

just want something to have some fun with this year really as iv missed out last year from being stupid and getting banned so im going to treat myself on the 24th april and go castle combe if she's up and running as its my birthday on the 27th

[Southie]

Nice and cheap if its not a rotter. :thumb: I await your progress.

[Count Vaux Alot]

I've got some bike carbs for sale - pm me if ya interested

[napalm_27]

its in rather good nick think the head gasket has gone on the 1.2 in it which tbh i dont really give a toss about but mate never mentioned it when i picked it up and yes we went to college together doing mechanics so he should of known lol

but yer rust wise it isnt bad at all few dinks and scratches but it will only get more on the track as never drove on track before and im most likely going to spin out onto the gravel 'fo sho' lol

[dontliftdrift]

good project there:D

i have a corsa b in storage with redtop conversion,fk coilovers,gsi kit,if any of it may be off interest to you let me know :)

[napalm_27]

at the moment mate im skint till i sell some more parts from my mondeo
but the coilovers if you have rear suspension to go with them may come in handy if you have a price for everythink you want to sell pm me mate :thumb:

front rear setup is on the car buddy,im in 2minds wether to use the running gear for a nova or just buy an already converted nova,i will let you know soon whats going on...the shell has seen better days so the corsa is in effect 'dead in the water'

[kc_08]

got 2 x14xe's here lol. ones been de ecotec'd with a new head. the others a mint 50k engine but will need ecu chip and transponder, or a 1.0 8v here if you want? lol

how much for the 1400 with loom etc..?

[Rysee]

Not bad, if thats a powerflow backbox like it looks, i've just sold one exactly the same for £62 haha

[kc_08]

umm not really sure dude, will have loom and that just needs an ecu chip and transponder which you can pick up from corsa forums, but its quite away from you mate. also have things like standard sport manifold, s/s down pipe.

[napalm_27]

had a little play today just finished but no pics as to dark
taken all the seats out and half taken the dash out

had a look under neath slight bit of rust on the lower half of the rear quater that may need some attention but not to bothered really

also noticed a wopping great big cat back stainless system on it :thumb: result!!
look like a 2.5' cat back system which is handy as now i dont need to feck about with that just connect the manifold and down pipe etc onto that :thumb:
going to have a play tomorrow aswell and il get some pics of how it stands :thumb:

[stevie-p]

rear lights are worth that new looks a good little car and a bargain

[napalm_27]

[napalm_27]

well the time is drawing close to getting the vxr engine
it should be here tomorrow so going to start taking the c20ne out and have a mock up of how it will fit in
had a word with me old man about getting me some metal from work and getting any mounts/plates made that i need so thats that problem out the way..
going to source a f28 hopefully one with a lsd already fitted to give me some decent traction
also going to look at the shafts to see what condition there in so i know whether to go buy some new thick shafts so they handle the power..
this is going to be a big project that i am determined to get done no matter what..
im also in a very good chance of getting a new job soo funds wont be a issue like the last projects that failed
wish me luck :thumb:

[let_nova]

sell me the vxr engine

[napalm_27]

yer but then what am i going to use lol

[Edd]

Good luck with it and all that but,

wouldn't it be a lot less hassel and cheaper just to c20let it ?

Seeing as you will have to pay out for management, engine mount fabrication etc

[napalm_27]

Good luck with it and all that but,

wouldn't it be a lot less hassel and cheaper just to c20let it ?

Seeing as you will have to pay out for management, engine mount fabrication etc

everyone has said that mate but i just fancy the challenge
if i get a let all iv got to do is take the c20ne out and bolt the let back in.. not much real fun in doing it mate

the mounts etc arnt a issue
the management will be a fair task as its all new to me but i like to learn
once the engine is bolted in on the f16 il look into buying everything
i.e f28/omex600/exhaust system etc etc
hopefully i should have a new job soon aswell
and i think the fact in that im doing these mad projects is the reason why im getting it.. even tho its not mechanical side of cars

[burgo]

lmfao. what a joke. you cant even get a 2L 8v to work properly lol. shall enjoy watching you stuff this up

[napalm_27]

well considering the car is drivable now and works fine i dont see how im going to stuff this up... but your opinion say what you like its only a car at the end of the day..

[Edd]

A c20let on phase 1 or 2 is going to have as much power as a z20leh and cost you £1000's less, I don't see the sense in it, there are reasons why something s are not done this being one of them, it would be easier to put a z20let in also, plus if you are serious are you ACTUALLY going to do it.

[napalm_27]

the engine will be here tomorrow the c20ne will be out sunday/monday ready for the LEH to be trial fitted
i think the best route will be to get the standard engine mount and chop into the chassis and make a more flatter position to mount it onto
then just use the normal f28 mounts to fit the rest
sounds rather simple me writing it on here actually

[auzzy2000]

if you actually do this i will buy you a mars bar.lol

[napalm_27]

if you actually do this i will buy you a mars bar.lol

its no use to me mate.. take it to the strippers they may find better use for it :thumb: lol :p

[dj_wudgey]

some good buys there mate!!

[napalm_27]

well the astra coupe is getting swapped for the vxr lump as i really cant be arsed with that no more.. tbh i cant be arsed with much atm the nova is the only thing that gets my attention

[napalm_27]

well the astra has now gone.. and i now have the vxr engine :D
list of problems that iv found that need to be over come..
1. throttle body.. god damn electronic throttle body!
2. engine mount
prob more to come will find out as i move along in the project

[napalm_27]

got the engine :) :thumb:
now just need to start taking the c20ne out the nova and bolt the f16 to it and mock up and make the area for the drivers side mount as my plan looks like it will work

[djbrowney]

how ever long has that been sitting about ^ ?

[napalm_27]

not that long was in a vxr with a rear end shunt
engine was taken out and then put in mates unit as he was going to convert his astra coupe turbo to a z20leh

oh and just found some good news out :) it has the holes for the big block conversion mount so im going to use that instead of chopping into the nova's chassis

[djbrowney]

trust me mate that engine has not been sat in a unit, it has been sat outside for at least 6 months uncovered !

[burgo]

if you pull this off before gunny im gonna slap him lol

[let_nova]

good work mate

well been down with the mondeo today taking the last few bits off
so once thats out the way (hopefully tomorrow) im going to start taking the c20ne out the nova and get the vxr lump to the yard
iv been told the x20xev t/b will fit the manifold but i wont to make the v6 one fit as iv gone and bought it off ebay already
main issue is going to be wiring it into the car as im going to get lost and confused alot on some bits
but its all more that il be learning :thumb:

let_nova i want your turbo ;) may have a buyer for my vxr one :thumb:

[napalm_27]

learn to read fool!!

i just re-read it... rather tired and mis read it at first.. i apologise :roll:

[Edd]

Why are you getting rid of the Vxr turbo ?

[scott.parker]

IF you can complete this to a good usable finish then i will be very surprised, good luck.

[napalm_27]

well iv got the engine all stripped of the un used parts and im taking the c20ne out this weekend and then swapping the pulleys over and taking the dual mass flywheel off and then just going to bolt the f16 to it and trial fit it in the bay
then going to go from there really and start buying stuff as i sell the old bits :thumb:

what you going put the pulleys on :wtf:

[Edd]

If you get rid of the Vxr turbo unit, which I presume you are removing because of the boost solinoid and you're changing the inlet to a v6, and you're not using the M32 gearbox there's not much left to call it a Vxr is there ? lol

X20xev with a garrett and a v6 inlet:roll: :p

flol you really are special...

the internals of the z20leh and the x20xev are alot different, the leh has oilspray nozzles, low comp forged pistons and a stiffer crank. the head proting is slightly different too. your comment above is like saying its not a c20xe anymore cos you have fitted bodies. oh and a gearbox hardly makes an engine. hence it being called a gearbox...:roll:

il just get the marker pen out and start writing vxr every were lol

its like saying oh he's modified his nova with this and that its not a nova no more as there isnt much of a nova left on it

[djbrowney]

good progress, not get ofline and got on with it !

[Sloth]

btw dont forget to use the alt and bottom pulley off the c20ne nath.

[napalm_27]

going to once i get out of bed lol
didnt go to sleep till 3.30am
curt is coming over today aswell to pick up some bits and drop some bits off
he wants to see the vxr engine go in lol

[napalm_27]

btw dont forget to use the alt and bottom pulley off the c20ne nath.
alternator is already off the vxr to change over just need to remove the bottom pulley :thumb:

[napalm_27]

all sweet mate just need to take the alternator and bottom pulley off the c20ne and fit them on the vxr lump and all should be good for fitting
well once i bolt the f16 to it to see how it lines up :thumb:
pop down if you want mate will be about all week doing it havnt got any work on atm

you really are a special tool :thumb:

i am fully aware of the internals of a z20leh mearly stating that if your installing this lump it would be better to keep all the vxr parts, or at least have it looking like one.

Good luck with the rest of the project Nathan, hope you manage to get it all working.

[auzzy2000]

ye i mite do im in leighton this week a couple of times.

what, the std restrictive inlet, stock restrictive siemens management that needs the clocks and radio, and the std crap turbo? :confused::roll:

the parts naths on about fitting will help get more power, and remove a few restrictions. i suggest you have a better look at the std z20leh/t manifold flow charachteristics, and the throttle body too. i personally would fit a sr20 style inlet, and an equal length exhaust manifold, seen as the std cast job is short on certain ports leading to issues. :thumb:

[napalm_27]

well really need to find a suitable turbo for the engine
and then was going to buy a 200sx manifold and fit a flange to it to put it on the engine
but not sure what to look for in terms of the sr20 inlet

[Sloth]

sr20 ebay ones are 89 plus p+p. just cut the flange off the std one and weld it on. id look at a gt28.

[napalm_27]

going to need ally mani flange to fit the cossie one tho and i cant ally weld :(

and they are the wrong way round
could look into making my own

[alan b]

good luck with this. fitting it will be the easy partlol if you go for aftermarket managment it will be alot easier to get going. best of luck

[napalm_27]

iv decided to just get megasquirt for it as its not as expensive as omex but practically does the same job of getting it going

[alan b]

http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr142/napalm_27/07032010455.jpg

on another note, this thing is fukcing shocking. ****ty wheels are totaly wrong offset. gammy color coded sideskirts. gte bumpers? no vinyl no window surounds, a mesh grill? shonky stance. its just all wrong. eve if you do fit gsi bumpers itll look shocking. it need some black to break up the white.

[alan b]

iv decided to just get megasquirt for it as its not as expensive as omex but practically does the same job of getting it going sounds good, have you decided on a turbo? running aftermarket management surely you could now keep the standard one?

[napalm_27]

still trying to figure out which one i could safely use

and its not a bad little motor actually totally agree on the wheels and stuff few things i would defo change on it but hey not my car so meh lol

yeah but its al-white sorry i had todo it.

lol

[MattBrown]

So an f16 bolts streight upto the z20leh engine?

And a c20xe mounts bolts streight into the engines front side?

So all it needs is wiring, then its good to go?

Or am I jumping the gun?

Premature ejaculation FTL:(

[napalm_27]

just like fitting a big block into any nova really
but i wouldnt advice bolting a f16 on it to actually run it i was just going to use that to trial fit it before i got the f28 but its looking like the c20ne and f16 are going this weekend so il be looking to buy a f28 abit sooner :thumb:

[MattBrown]

So why not use the f16 and the mounts untill it actually runs pal?

I was looking at a vxr conversion, as can get more power for less money than crazy priced 100k mile c20lets!

[napalm_27]

well i was planning to mate which was the main idea but bloke come down today to have a look at the engine and is coming for it this weekend so i wont have the f16 to bolt it in with so id rather go out and buy a f28 and mount it all in there properly and not have to worry about taking it all back out
will just need to cut the old normal mount out for the gear box and weld the f28 one in

[napalm_27]

well went and picked me up a f28 today
so will be going to play with the nova for abit tomorrow :thumb:

[djbrowney]

what clutch you planning on running ???

[napalm_27]

ermm was thinking a c20let/z20let clutch or a 4 paddle clutch but not sure yet need to get it in and running first then i can start to think about driving issues :thumb:

[djbrowney]

erm you need to sort a clutch as it wont be driving anywhere lol lol lol

[napalm_27]

yes browney i know where you coming from but im going to worry about that when it comes to actually properly fitting it in.

just a quick update of how things went yesterday with fitting the gearbox and then trial fitting the engine to see how it would fit
looks like it will sit exactly the same as a xe only issues atm is the gearbox as im going to have to cut the old mount out and weld the f28 conversion mount in
and then drill and tap the rear mount bolt holes and convert it to 2wd which should be a barrel of laughs
but anyway enough talk and pic time :thumb:

Why the valves that colour? Looks like it has been run really hot or somthing?? or am i just missing somthing?

[napalm_27]

whos is the xr2i in the background?
xr2i..?

rs turbo you mean

[napalm_27]

Why the valves that colour? Looks like it has been run really hot or somthing?? or am i just missing somthing?
tbh no idea only noticed them in the pic

[Andy]

thats been out in the rain,you can tell

[napalm_27]

thats been out in the rain,you can tell

the turbo has been bolted on it up until recently so the valves havn seen rain
plus its been under a plastic sheet since iv had it and now its in the engine bay

[connor c]

xr2i..?

rs turbo you mean

is that what that yellow yoke is i thought it was a mondeo:roll:

[Angus Closier]

yeah but rain doesnt turn valves that colour? Running antilag or lean might though? Have you ever seen the engine run or inspected it? Might be worth looking into it? I may be wrong!

[napalm_27]

is that what that yellow yoke is i thought it was a mondeo:roll:

no he's on about the fiesta on the first page

the yellow mondeo is a rs si or was anyway

[let_nova]

i wouldnt attempt to run the engine without inspection

[napalm_27]

turns over fine keep turning it over everytime i go do stuff with the car
timing marks line up aswell
may strip it all done and rebuild it before i run it aswell
but its only done 15k miles so cant be much wrong with it

[Angus Closier]

No harm in pulling the sump off and checking the bearings? Personally i would strip the whole thing down and just do the main things? That way you dont have to go pulling things apart when/if it goes wrong? Sitting that long, surely a strip down and rebuild with rings, cambelt,big and main bearings? that way your safe? Only what i would do? looks good though.

[muzzy]

Got to agree with the above, I would be looking inside the engine to see what condition everything is in, don't want to end up doing all the work and end up with a duff engine. I would be taking the head off and doing the head gasket, especially if its been sitting outside for a period of time.

[napalm_27]

well i think the crank seal has popped as it pissed all the oil out whe i was trial fitting it as i had the gearbox end right down and the other end up in the air so may get a full gasket set and cambelt set and do the lot at the same time
may change the valves aswell

[Connor]

but its only done 15k miles so cant be much wrong with it

out of interest where did you get this engine

[Angus Closier]

I know i keep ranting on about it but im sure the weather (plus you say they havnt been out in the rain etc) doesnt do that to valves? me thinks you might have a problem on your hands....plus if its just coked up you might want to get new valves clean the old ones/ports up a bit? A minor rebuild doesnt cost the world and will save the money in time....

[napalm_27]

i can get all the parts out my old work at warehouse price so will cost me under £100

and tbh i just want to get the engine in and sorted so i can take it out and then do stuff and be able to bolt it straight back in :thumb:

[bainyboy sr]

am sorry but its pointless watching this thread it will never get finished i have watched many threads naplam has started and never finished i will put money on this that it will never get finshed whos with me???

[napalm_27]

am sorry but its pointless watching this thread it will never get finished i have watched many threads naplam has started and never finished i will put money on this that it will never get finshed whos with me???

why even post if your going to be a ****..?

[Connor]

out of interest where did you get this engine
?

[bainyboy sr]

why even post if your going to be a ****..?

im not bien a **** i am just stating a point and would like to proven wrong but going by your track record its highly unlikely

[napalm_27]

well it would be an even more of a miracle if it was the same engine as its a astra vxr engine lol

[Connor]

well it would be an even more of a miracle if it was the same engine as its a astra vxr engine lol

lol lol, yea that would be some miracle!!
I just saw vxr and 15k and presumed :roll:

Utterly confusing thread!

So is the LEH staying?

Is it for sale?

[Edd]

Surely for the cost of that Calibra you could of got the LEH running ?

For someone who was hard up for cash you seem to be doing a good job of wasting it.

[sulphur]

Fcuk me, is the air filter piping big enough?

[Mazz]

Good work but the header tank is aweful

[napalm_27]

that was from when my mate owned it
il shove it in the dishwasher some time soonish to clean it up :thumb:
woke up rather late today :(
going to get sorted and go to halfrauds and see if they have any easy out kits to sort this bolt out

[Shaun]

that looks like one big bodge, imo of course

[napalm_27]

that looks like one big bodge, imo of course

it will do its not finished
il tidy it up once its all done and running
no point getting it looking all nice if its not going to fire up is there

[novaxe235]

it will do its not finished
il tidy it up once its all done and running
no point getting it looking all nice if its not going to fire up is there
If it's done RIGHT then there's no reason it shouldn't "fire up" is there.

[napalm_27]

If it's done RIGHT then there's no reason it shouldn't "fire up" is there.

well it doesnt always work out like that tho does it
can come to unknown problems that isnt down to anything you have touched

[Shaun]

Id rather it look nice and be fitted properly whether there will be a problem or not.
If all runs 1st time, you then need take it back apart to clean it up lol

Each to there own though and you didnt mess about fitting it :)

[Edd]

Quick fitting I admit.

Your going to need a new slam panel soon if you don't sort the rust out underneath the drivers side headlight.

No ARB either ?

[napalm_27]

its only surface rust got a few plates that need doing once i get my new welder in the week
soo will be tidying everything up then
nope no arb
iv got the 21mm one with lowering blocks and poly bushes but dont want it on there

[Ernie]

fair play for getting it all in so quick and as said its not finished but it does look very messy.
I did a trial fit of a few things on mine and got moaned at for a few bits.
Hope you get it all sorted tho.

[napalm_27]

ITS ALIVE!!!
no spark tho as the coil amp is fubar'd from the crash
so just waiting on getting a new one and she will be running :thumb:
thumping nicely while turning over tho so thats a good sign :)

[Dom]

cheers for the pic whorein :)

[Andy]

Not being funny but why are you nonsing about fitting seats etc when ya feckin engines not even running?
Priorities just seem all wrong
I mean whats the point in fitting the heat shield when theres no heat to shield yet???

[let_nova]

well me dom his mate and aaron had a little mince with the cars today to see if we could get the nova running but no joy so i fitted the drivers bucket seat and harness. heat shield and plug cover :thumb:


,

[MattBrown]

Nathan, can you show me loads of pics of the seats, they way you have mounted them?

Im trying 3 or 4 differant differant methods atm lol

Looks good, needs the bay tidying, but as said priorities are getting it moving.

[Damo]

Any luck with this napalm?

[napalm_27]

well i now have power to the ecu :thumb:
did miss the live feed so put it on
had a little spark but that was only once :(
give me a good kick tho hurt a little
so going to be at it all day tomorrow as i had to fit a alternator to a ****ty vec v6 today! was not impressed with the design one bit.. vauxhall ****ty crappy v6 ****e!

[Damo]

Glad you sorted that one mate.

[napalm_27]

just a pain that its not firing
its got fuel etc but still not a strong enough spark or a spark atall
just waiting for my new ht leads to turn up so i can rule them out
as i snapped the king lead end to the dizzy

[Damo]

Hopefully with a new king lead it should fire then mate.

[let_nova]

if tis getting fuel and no spark i bet the plugs are soaking wet also not helping your problems.

[Nobby]

if tis getting fuel and no spark i bet the plugs are soaking wet also not helping your problems.

:thumb: glad you got it sparking mate let me know asap

[scott.parker]

What coil are you using? if it's not a GTE/GSi item then thats a reason?

[napalm_27]

its the c20let coil that im using exactly the same as what nobby was using on his
the plugs arnt soaking wet either but i can smell fuel when the plugs are out
so not sure if theres enough fuel either
but if i can get it running during the week dom might be popping down again to give me a hand :thumb:

[chrisnovaturbo]

have you got the fuel pipes round the right way?

[napalm_27]

i did check the feed return on the car
and always known it to be the feed is on the pass side
and return on the reg end.
is that right or wrong..?

[chrisnovaturbo]

thats right mate

[napalm_27]

remembered that from when i put a fse on the cav years ago
just not sure why its not firing
its a right pain in the ****

[chrisnovaturbo]

you got a good earth on the engine, make sure you using the right switched ingnition (black wire), you got the 12v (red wire) on the batt and the fuel pump wire conected propely (red with blue strip wire) ?

[napalm_27]

everythng you just said is all connected properly but will double check tomorrow when i get to the car

[saloonwoody]

[napalm_27]

got a dumpvalve in the car just waiting to get some money to buy a fitting kit lol

[napalm_27]

well iv just aquired myself a nice new welder thats been used once for £40 and its a gas welder :thumb:
so now the engine is coming back out and the f28 is going to be drilled and tapped ready to be fitted into the nova
going to weld the chassis mount on once it arrives
and then buy the 2wd kit and mod the linkage :thumb:
then once the battery tray repair panel arrives il be cutting the scuttle panel/fire wall bit out and then welding all the holes iv poked through up
got a couple bits to sort out at the back end aswell
then going to cut the front lower valance out abit to fit the fmic abit better and weld some mounting point for the oil cooler to sit on nicely so it isnt held on with cable ties no more lol
so once thats all done im building her back up again and making her looks nice
as the main aim was to get it in and running then once i got a welder sort everything out :thumb:
keep an eye out for updates

Have you soldered that in?

[Edd]

Have you soldered that in?

lol lol lol

it does look like you need to weld that in properly chap, can't see that lasting very long the way it is. A continuous weld all the way round the repair would be a good start. :thumb:

[djbrowney]

and you want to make your own engine mounts !!!

please buy mine ffs !!!

[chrisnovaturbo]

what was it in the end that it wouldnt start?

[napalm_27]

what was it in the end that it wouldnt start?

it was dropping the 12v feed to the coil when turning over so just run a live to the coil on a switch that il hide in the car

[Sloth]

use the black/white wire on the reverse light plug for the ign feed. ;)

Or purple off the wiper motor;)

Dead strong that weld therelol

[napalm_27]

the weld is fine just looks a mess lol
and im leaving the wiring as it is as i dont want tubby going walkies ;)

[djbrowney]

The Weld Is S H I T Full Stop !!!!

[Sloth]

have you plated over the old metal or cut it to the edges? also your welds havent penetrated that fully.

[napalm_27]

the old was cut out as you can see in the pics then i over lapped it abit on the decent old metal and spot welded it all the way round
and it has penertrated as you can see all the welds from under neath the bulk head
im going to change the nipple bit on the torch and grind the welds flat and go over them again and see if it makes a difference to the feed

[MattBrown]

The Weld Is S H I T Full Stop !!!!

lol

Fk welding a mount on like that, that I know has to take 204bhplol

[Sloth]

you need to turn the welder up a little, and up your feed speed and use a zig zag torch movement. do an inch then let it cool, avoids blowing through. also, i would have weld thru primered it before hand.

[napalm_27]

its only a cheepo sip welder high/low setting
i had it on high which is what i used to use the old sip gasless welder on and that use to do well
think i may sell this one and buy a better welder

[djbrowney]

dont sell it just learn how to use !!!

[napalm_27]

i know how to use a welder i did welding at college
could really do with a automatic mask as the one i have is pretty crap and dont really use it (yes stupid no need to comment) just close my eyes and turn my head away

[Sloth]

im self taught with guidance from an uncle and my dad (he used to make ships) but i found that just welding bits of scrap together as practice is the best thing. you do need a better welder, with variable speed feed and power.

i know but il have some decent metal to make the mount out of and it wont be in a tight spot so il get a better weld going

[General Baxter]

bloody hell, if your welding is that bad, i would not run any boost lol

its not even running enough boost to get any chatter from the turbo unless its stuck to the limiter lol

[Sloth]

hobby migs like yours are not designed for anything over 7mm and anything structural.

[djbrowney]

if you have done a welding course i just found rocking horses s h i t e !!!

[General Baxter]

ill take a photo of some 'coded papers' at work tommorow, thats a proper course, lol

[napalm_27]

could show you a whole different bit of welding if i had a decent mig welder but like rob said its just a 90amp hobby mig and isnt ideally cut out for what im using it for
and why you have a problem with my welding on my car is beyond me :confused::tard:

Its not a problem.

But what happens if your driving along do 69mph, wish to accelerate to 70, the mount snaps, and you crash?

And hurt someone? your mrs (if have one) etc

Safety is paramount:thumb:

[napalm_27]

the mount wont look like that i assure you
as il be able to get to it better and weld it properly

[General Baxter]

dont worry, scilcon and paint hides all lol

[chrisnovaturbo]

your using the wrong igntion wire (black) join it in to the black wire that goes to the fan. it will work off that mate :thumb: that way you wont need a switch in the car.

[djbrowney]

because your trying to convince me your welding is ****e when it the peson using it, i have been there !!!

i want a switch tho mate thats why im leaving it like it is :thumb:
as it goes on to fire it up then turn it off after and turn the car off normally after that
hidden immobiliser ;)
plus a switch on the fuel pump aswell :thumb:

[auzzy2000]
