To back track, bring up to speed; i decided at the beginning of the summer to go with martin bowyer and ian evans to have the car finished for me. I realised that would take a while, but costs would be a bit better than usual, and theyre great guys i like dealing with them. I wasnt really able to do the jobs that were left; time to get experts in.
Originally i planned to go with dave young @ MEK but changed my mind.
I had concerns with well pretty much everything, because i built most of it and the car has done about 30 miles since 2009. So the scrap yard sourced vectra b z18xe thats been sat mis-mapped since 2009, an f15cr gearbox from nick baxter (!) brakes that have never worked very well, exhaust heatwrap that still smokes its bag off since last year,.. loads and loads. All 87 pages of this thread.
I gave them a new complete fuel system to fit (lines filters pump aeroquip fittings from the tank to injectors) fresh oil and filter and anything else it needed. Requested they check over the car thoroughly, sorting what might need improving etc - for they're own safety and others.
In the end non of that happened. Car wasnt finished for me, they just mapped it as it was lol.
I was suprised to hear it had survived lol.
However, its just good that something has been done and its back without a hitch. Ive been out in it all weekend, feels good. Glad ive finally reached the milestone that the car is useable.
The objective of this whole project was to build something that has proper Jenvey Throttle Bodies. Ive wanted them since seeing them in action at velos motorsport back in 2002ish..?
They kick ass. I love the way a refined civilised modern engine becomes this possesed crazed brutal devil that only knows 'as fast (and loud) as i can'.
Feel 19 again lol.
