HMPH! I was really looking forward to this weekend, supposed to be driving the Nova down to Dougie's to leave there for getting engine put in. I went over to my sister's to collect it and drop off the Cav and the bloody thing wouldn't start. Now I'm well pi$$ed off. The wife is coming up tonight for a look at it, so hopefully it won't completely funk up the weekend for us. Oh and I'm no longer insured on my SRi so I can't even get out for a drive.


On the + side, I get an extra night with my man :D But we won't go into that ;) :p

Well thanks for letting me know what your all up to.
Just an up date from me.
Dave dropped my vectra gsi estate off today so gave it a quick clean then droped him back to his.
Then helped strip another vectra sri down to a shell in 2.30 hrs.
Beeing brought up in a ruff area pays off in the end lol.
So on with tomorrow's antics of giving the vecy a very good clean.

I finally rebuilt the transits engine last weekend, so tomorrow morning Dar's dragging me to a local garage where hopefully they will reprogram the ECU and it will start. OR it will turn out i timed the chain up wrong and it explodes into a million bits lol. If all goes well I will probably pop to an autofactors and get a battery for the track car, and then start rebuilding the front suspension. Im running out of weekends uber fast at present.

Sunday ill be mostly sleeping i would imagine lol

Good news. Timing is perfect. Also pumped up the fuel system perfectly.

Bad news. The guy I took it to has the wrong software. So its going to be another week. Bye bye rolling road run :(

Adam

It'll be reet.
Just sort the nova this week, and the transit next weekend....... Lol

Dar
08-03-08, 03:06 PM
Today I mostly flatspotted Mr Lee's rear near side tirelol

Lee
08-03-08, 03:10 PM
Easier said than done Adam, im working away all week, so next wekend will be spend sorting the van out, there definately wont be any time left to sort the car and trailer. Ho hum, such is life.

Yeah, Instead of the time honoured method of taking the wheel off and hitting the drum with a hammer, myself and Dar decided to attempt the lazy method of dragging it down the road. Got a massive flat spot on one rear tyre now lol

Adam
08-03-08, 03:12 PM
Lol.


Get Dar sort the nova then lol :p

Lee
08-03-08, 03:15 PM
Lol.


Get Dar sort the nova then lol :p

lol, even if he had the time to, id need to supply him with money to get the exhaust done which i wont have till next week, and i still have to build up the front suspension and track it up. Im not too bothered tbh, so long as i make combe ill be happy.

Dar
08-03-08, 03:17 PM
I thought it had freed up until I paused the stero and heard the squeeling. Anyway tommorw will be a day spent on the Nova. Been to Merlin Motorsport this afternoon and got some bits. I hope to have it all finished and ready to go by the end of play tommrow.
