Mate, i'm really happy for you! Great job there and the car really looks the sh!t!!!

That brumby looks good too, but i'm a little partial to the wagon, especially with the white 6 spoke rims.

Can't wait for a video now...

I took a few more shots of it before last nights storm. the thing looks better in pics that it actually does in reality for some reason.. still needs a clean.

shortly once I find the card reader

ok we have a heater,A/C. no gas in it but I can fire the compressor and with a vac pump attached move the vents.

for those that have the climate setup how many fan speeds do you have?

I found two with a step down after pressing the low speed key.

Chris_Rogers · Post by **Chris_Rogers** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 8:01 pm

radiator is in. it leaks in one spot where I stuffed up and grazed the radiator at some stage.

I actually have clearance for fans on it as well. I removed the top of the radiator and slid it under the support. it frees up 40-50mm by doing this.

considering VR commodore fans as I need dual speed fans though I'm unsure how thick they are.

I have a oil leak and its running on 3 cylinders for some reason. I suspect its a stuck/blocked injector so all of them come out and get cleaned. (car was sitting for at least a year unstarted with fuel on the lines.)

other than that its coming along

good to see its coming along;) not too far to go.
Could you do me a fav and send me some highish rez pics of the engine bay.
Cheers

which ones do you need. I have a hires of the radiator. done VERY similar to yours. took the top off.

Fatz · Post by **Fatz** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 1:06 am

mainly around manifold and maf side of things,
im nearly done, but have a few stray hoses.
Cheers

show me/tell me yours( [email protected] ) and I'll tell you where they go. most of the hoses on mine are hidden with other things.

obvious ones are :
radiator/overflow (mine doesnt have overflow-wont fit.)
charcoal canister (two lines off front of cam cover DRV side)
MAP sensor ( drivers strut tower next to diff lock fuse) this has two hoses one comes from the IC outlet the other feeds the wastgate.

two sets of cooler hoses - one for the PS the other for the trans (which I suggest a BIG cooler for and NOT the radiator one.)

ok we have THIN FANS!

W 203 benz! and E36 BMW. the E36 item is a 16" fan about 38mm thin. the W203 items are 12" items and 40mm thin.

I'm happy though they WERE NOT CHEAP! ($350!)

hmmm dus that mean there thinner than Davies Craig.

they are expensive yes lol.

Chris_Rogers · Post by **Chris_Rogers** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 9:36 pm

yup! these are Bosch items.

Chris_Rogers · Post by **Chris_Rogers** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 2:43 pm

ok its at the exhaust shop getting the exhaust done. nothing fancy just something to shut it up a bit and make it legal. should have a boxer burble as well..

Chris_Rogers · Post by **Chris_Rogers** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 7:55 pm

$600 later its QUIET! has a burble as well. I'm happy. now to work out why the check engine light is on..

Chris_Rogers · Post by **Chris_Rogers** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 7:25 pm

found hte light problem - loose boost lines on the intercooler.

FK this thing moves when the second turbo comes on!

Chris_Rogers · Post by **Chris_Rogers** » Wed Nov 21, 2007 8:26 pm

primary turbo is stuffed. have a spare so its all good. got the front end aligned today- fairly close. the rear end is another story though. right side is WAY OUT. fulcrum reckon its copped a hit on that side and bent the arm.

so it looks like I need to rebuild another arm and toss that under it.

goes for tyres in the morn. going to put VR rated tyres under it.

still need to shove the engine back 20 mm as I STILL do not have fans.
