Started a wastegate plumb pipe in the weekend

[sampayne]

Nice work!
sub'd

[potatomash]

Finished piping. Got 50km on the car, drives ok, not very good at low rpm but fine under load...its only had a couple runs on the dyno so expected.

Then it got an exhaust leak, sounds like a dog and wont run well at all

[potatomash]

Turns out plugs were completely soaked. Cleaned them and it started and drove all good again, idle is just way to rich.

The wastegate pipe tweaked when welding and was under way to much stress bolted up, so gate to manifold v-band wasn't sealing and thats where my leak came from, think I'll put a flexi in the middle of it.



..and here's the money shot..

where is the fusebox?

[potatomash]

where is the fusebox?

Glovebox. Looks a bit tidier than that now though

Slow days but some progress none the less

Fusebox and ecu

So good to see someone here get close to actually finishing one lol

Yeah hasn't been without its ups and downs...the number of times I've hated this thing haha

[potatomash]

Trying to get it road legal at the moment. Had to put some keepers in cause I only had 15mm of droop and need 40.



Got 300k on the motor now though lol even though not road legal..

[ak-]

Very nice. What's keeping it from being road legal?

This picture confuses me:


I know this coilover is shock-height adjusted, so why not just move those two lock collars up instead of using the helper spring?

[parkerbink]

Great work!

[econti]

skid vids when?
