Ste: Cooler's fine mate,well it seamed to work alright, wont know i guess till i get more running time in the car (need to fix the heater as i couldnt see **** after 5mins in it lol)
Keith: The Discs need the bolt/stud holes drilling out slightly on a bench drill to fit vux PDC, no by much though, as for whether there the ones that are used with Bembo's im not sure, the Calipers are V6 vux i belive with mintex pads?? Stoped it very very well is all i know! lol
Scott
stuff heater's, just get a heated screen :cool:
pads are ferrodo ds2500's (Work great) :) glad there all fine scott ! :thumb:
Well she came home last week on Friday (massive thanks to Ernie for that one) and has sat for a week as Ive been busy doing other things (was hard to do) in the back of my mind all Ive wanted is to get the dam running, so today i went about sorting a few things..
First off was to put a new back box rubber on, then pop to the petrol station and get some petrol,£6.20 lighter in the pocket and shoved that in, tried to start it, Na no way,Nada not happening! Soooo...... whipped the plugs out changed them over, tried again... VROOMMM! BRaappp! POP POP! we were in action!
I was happy to say the least..:thumb: :D
So i let run for a bit then popped up the road and put bit more fuel in.
Few things im not sure on, as Ive not had a quaife LSD diff before, are they/do they whine a bit like a straight cut box??
and the calipers are seizing on a bit, so they need to come off again,other then that it's just little things left to sort to make it road legal (but no hurry as Ive not the cash at the mo)
Other things left to get done though, is fit/plumb in the up-front swirl pot system.
Not sure where to mount it,and need to fined out what pipes go where on the swirl pot??
Was thinking something like this..

change wiper linkage,heater blower, and sort the dash, thats annoying me some times the rev gage works on start then nothing, and then the fuel and oil work when they like, then the speedo don't work at all! lol
Just nice to have a Nova again..:)
Scott
Scott, Mount the pump as close to the fuel tank as possible, they are are a push pump, not a pull pump. So they dont do a good job of sucking fuel from so far away from the tank.
Keith
Nice work Scott! and for info my quaife LSD is not noisey at all!
Keith, he has a low pressure pump for the rear and a high pressure one for the injector rail. The pluming for the low pressure pump is all in there. The pumps just need swapping. Then he can mount the high pressure pump in the engine bay.
Scott your car should not whine at all.
How loud is it?
Did it whine when you took it for a little spin when you where around mine?
My car started whining just before the box let gohttp://www.bikemagic.com/forum/smili...sed_smiley.gif
It may be worth checking the gearbox fluid level. Although it was filled and it wasn't leaking. But well worth checking out all the same.
Nice to see you getting on with it.
At last lol.
Im in leicester again for the weekend, so i'll check the levels on the box when im home, it'soly very slight whine from it didnt notice it at yours dar.
Right....Brakes now sorted!
Gearbox noise, still not sure on it, i think it's just a combination of not having driven the car much and not knowing what it sound's like, as today when i tested the brakes (****ers locked on me lol they work alright) the noise was not so loud, so im thinking it might be just the fact i was not use to how god dam loud the car is etc..
So weather permitting i should get to give it a thrash this Sunday down Shakespeare race way! cant wait...
Scott
box in my old ZR had a "straight cut whine" for a day before i investigated it. found that the filler plug for the oil had fallen out and all the oil was pushed out the hole. refilled the box and sourced a new plug and it was fine.
might see you up there on sunday mate as i fancy getting the nova out for a bit of testing
Sounds good Scott. What did you do to sort the brakes?
Ok Chris, do you have my number? Dave and Christian are going up today, might see them later..
Craig after asking for some advise, everyone said it was more then likely the slide bolts, so instead of taking the calipers off the car (im too lazy for that)
i took the slide bolt's out one at a time from each caliper, cleaned round the seal where it goes into the caliper,and then rubbed the slide bolt slightly with a bit of 150 grit sand paper, and where there was any large digs/burrs i took the edge of with a screwdriver, then just give them loads of copper grease and popped them back in one by one,and hey-presto they work without sticking on after i take my foot of the pedal!
Scott
Nice one. Just interested & also for the good of your thread/reference.
Scott-Do the fiat coupe discs fit with using any washers(to space them), and without spigot rings?
Straight onto nova hub???
They fit on "but" i think they could do with some spigot rings, as they are pain in the ass when your taking and putting the wheels back on, you have to make sure to get them right (you cant use the securing screw like on GM disk's) before doing all the bolts back up, other then that there good, wonder if i can get some rings of ebay that will work?Quote:

Yeah i might measure the o/d of the hub,and see what i/d it is i need the spigot to be, but they would need to be very thin, it's about 2mm max when the disk is centralized.
Scott
2mil?
Christ, my spigots wong fit that then Pmsl lol lol
But i thought the car needed some tlc!
So i poped up to helfrauds and spent £24 on a SMALL size car cover (crossing my fingers as i didnt mesure it before hand lol)
The cover is 4 metters long, and lucky enough its spot on! :thumb:
As you can see it covers right round under the bumpers and down onto the wheels, im very impressed for a cheapish cover.

Snug!
So now im working (fingers crossed full time) again, i can start speding money on the car again, as ive kept it on HOLD for a long time now.
Scott
scott i have the same cover. its spot on but don't rely on the weedy bit of string thats stitched to it to hold it down in the wind. I did and therefore ended up chasing it down the street:eek:
ste
lol Yeah! well im might pop an get some rope then for it.
Scott
Just the info i was after as ill be buying a cover for mine soon :D
It's not too great at keeping miosture off it, but i'll look into getting another one for that then cover it over with this..
Scott
Are you sure that car has moved since i dropped it of as it's still in the same place lol.
lol yeah it went down shakey's and did 2-3 runs,but i found then that it was the calippers sticking on.Quote:

Nope!
Well now Christmas is out the way I have been job hunting *fingers crossed*

Plan to start by fitting a few bits I have laying around, then start on the boot an bonnet next (reminder to self, go hunt down some pins)
