What actually happened in the accident Paul?
On a hill low speed slide from a junction on ice into the pedestrian barrier damaging front panel near side wing and chassis leg.
Sounds f*cking ace in that video!
yeah and thats only revving to 4300ish rpm..
lol Would love to hear it maybe double that ?
Mark will confirm but I think the soft limiter is 6500 and hard limiter at 7200 (i dont have access to the map in front of me, I cant really remember but its somewhere in the sevens) its limited because its got hydraulic lifters and it would be a shame to machine the head to take solids.
Aye that's true mate - Aslong as it's going good the way it is thats the main thing! :)
I've no idea on what the rev limiter is and i'm not going to go into the map to check as I don't want to hit a wrong button on it and wipe the map lol!
Spent the afternoon working on the car today after finding that not only did the crank sensor wire have a fault but so did the injector wires so once I realised that then it was relatively plain sailing to get it running again. Had it going today 2 or 3 times first turn of the key. So now its just a case of tidying all the wires back up and hiding them all again so you have to look twice to realise that the harness isn't standard. Also had to make plug leads today which have come out very well and look original.
Also ref the incident after the car having the throttle bodies fitted, the image below shows it back on 2003 and shows how slight (in my opinion anyway) the damage was, but being back in 2003 Paul was lucky enough to be able buy parts off the shelf with ease from Vauxhall.
IF YOU READING AT A GLANCE THIS PICTURE IS 2003!!! just before I get comments saying you've not crashed it have you? lol

It won't get that dirty again!!! WILL IT PAUL!! lol
It looks slight but an upright from the barrier hit the front panel right at the end of the chassis rail, the chassis rail absorbed the energy of the impact and there was a slight crease in the chassis rail and fire wall. The dirt was due to the winter weather, it used to get cleaned everyday I drove it. Anyone with White wheels knows one drive and they need a clean or they stain and need a jolly good polish. Summer only, dry only weekend only and at the moment driveway only car now! I guess mark you can enjoy a drive, dry weather drive to the mot station and enjoy the first legal drive of the car in seven years thanks to your hard work. Cheers Mark!!
