I've never run a cooler before, never had the need. Or any probs with heat, even after being on track all day. Only running it now cause anyone thinks it needed. It is only there as a temp job, but its still gonna be in line with the air flow.. So should do something.Quote:

Loads of room in a xe'd nova. The let just had lots of added toss that gets in the way.
Today's update.
Cracked on again.
Got the brakes fill with fluid. Bled the front two up fine then moved to the rears. This is when Dan noticed (he was pumping the pedal) that the bias was leeking. Great!
Tightent all the fixings up a bit more.. Still leaking. Did them up funking to the point of snapping them tight.. Still leaking. No matter how tight it leaked. But it was the 1/8 to m10 bit that was the prob, would make a good seal to the valve... Deep funking joy so screw it, we joined the lines up together and guess what? They as as water proof as a ducks **** under water.
Bled the rears up, Dans says the pedal feels good.(i havent tried it before you ask)
Fitted the back box, put 5lts of fuel in.
Fitted all the dash back in, backing a stuipd heater cable in the process, but as i needed to find a wiper motor we popped to the scrappy and lucky there was a nova in there so got a few bits and the heater cable too.
Have got a Ax wiper motor for a temp fit. Just need to work out the arm fitted.
Sorted/lined up the gear linkage first time too.. We're awesome.
Droped it on to its wheels. Now either i've for gotten it was so low from it being on axel stands or.. Well i dont know but the slam pannels on my knees!
Then started it up again, started second try. Still a bit tappy but i dont know the last time it was run and i've cleaned all the tappits out too. But it holds boost at -10/9 is that good? Has good oil pressure too.
Let it get warm, seems ok exhaust is still blowing and has a really odd (think i know why) bad rattle from in side it.. But think i can fix that with a drill and welder..
Need some cooling fans, hope they come tomoz. If not might have to try to get mine to fit. All i can think of...
Its alive.
Well done mate.
