lol, seems a lil attention seeking of a post by me, but maybe some ideas/suggestions will come about before i make any bookings by giving the thread a bump..
As said years ago, lol - fuelling parts to be fitted , a mini service, mapping and recovery one way. Im hoping the place can help diagnose why where the braking system may need attention, also.
Ill get the garage next door to MEK to try and quote for the work at least; but with that being a stop shop it easier and keeps recovery costs down.
-
Yeah Dave , do it , fantastic car :)
-
Surely you can fit the fuel parts and do a mini service?
Whats wrong with the brakes?
-
I might be able to struggle through the fuelling system; (ive never worked with these aero alloy fittings) and thats if i can find some ramps for long enough to do the job. But i think ide then struggle to get the car running again with a new pump anyway.
The brakes im not sure, they work poorly, so its not a priority; i think theyre just victim to few years of it standing around. Maybe a newer servo/master cylinder/fluid change or a bit of everything..
As you can tell interest/patience/etc/etc all low, non existant lol.
Ill find out friday if im to go ahead with this gig or not.
-
Come on Dave pull your finger out.
The aero fittings are simple to do (even i managed it!)
Are you going down simple route with fueling? Tank - Filter - Pump - throttle Bodies - Pressure Regulator - Back to Tank.
No need to over complicate it anymore than that!
Get it sorted :)
-
hey hang on martin - you said even you'de had someone to do it for you...? lol
But yes just the simple route. I guess the mapper i rang ages ago said he'de prefer to have the car running so ive just had it in my head to get the car to them as it is.
-
I did the fuel lines myself mate :)
When mine was being a pig starting & not running right, its all in that throttle pot telling the ecu where your foot is!
Set it up on voltmeter as per instructions but when you plugged laptop in it wasnt quite right! Once Toovey set that 'right' on laptop it was a different car.
I thought yours started & ran?
-
yeah it does, but ide have to adjust fuel pressure (maybe more?) when changing from a weak fuel pump to a beefy one.
-
Get any parts you think you need, then ask nicely if John H might pop over and help you get it sorted to get it running nice, then get your ass down to Dave at MEK ASAP, the man knows his stuff and will have it running sweet as a nut in no time, and you will be in love with the car once its all done, mine came away from his like a new car, i didn't think mapping was "that important" and would matter as much as it did..
-
If it starts & runs take it to mapper as they will set fuel pressure etc after you have swapped the fuel pump if thats what your on about doing.
Dont take it then start messing or its just a waste
