small update, not much been happening with this, just enjoying driving it throughout winter etc and kind of taken a back seat since i got the vectra in feb, changed a few things in the engine bay, now have the same paint scheme on the plug cover from before the rebuild and just fitted a stainless washer bottle (thanks NickJ!) a few things really begining to annoy me about the bay, the red pulleys now look very out of place against the blue anodised bits (couldnt get blue at the time!) and i need to get a new coil pack mount as the chocolate sbd one is cracked and rusting like a *******. there is also oil seeping from one of the threaded studs where the distributer used to be! waiting 4 weeks now for a new quaife rack as my one has developed a fair amount of play. got a new rocker cover to go on as that one was only meant to be temp and the whole car needs a good clean up and polish ready for billing!

Not been out in the car, been waiting 5 weeks on a replacement kwik rack from quaife!Quote:

update,
been busy changing the exhaust for a more flowing setup and repairing the manifold which took a beating from sitting so low along with some other tweaks including replacing the kwik rack with a new quiafe one and finally nailing an oil leak!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...p/IMG_0902.jpg
cut a little section out the sump which allowed for the manifold to be raised 1.5inch. also knocked up a bracket which supports the manifold andfixes onto the rear of the block.

lovin the number plate is that the originall plate and is it running at 222 bhp? lol
wee update,
was sent to new york & texas with work at short notice and never got round to finishing the last update etc, shaved a bit of the middle box as it was too low and couldn't go any higher but worth it for the lack or exhaust noise. got the car back along to the mapper to check everything is still ok and adjust if required but it was fine gained and extra 3bhp at peak so we're now putting out 211.1bhp, got the graph somewhere and will fire it up. pretty surprised tbh, now to try and find 10.9bhp! :wall:

Never re-fitted the slam panel brace when i did the crossmember 4yrs ago and there was slight flexing at higher speeds so fixed that with a simple removable stainless one from round bar, was more to do with not wanting to weld to the crossmember (and burn up the powdercoating on the inside and then rust etc) rather than for access but will be handy for radiator removal i suppose.
