Cheers mate

looks very nice mate

thought about spraying the wheels antracite to match your smoked lights?

Jimmy-Boy · 5th July 2009, 21:29

looks very good, done a mixture of diy jobs and pulls it off well..

Wizzy · 5th July 2009, 21:39

Thanks for the comments guys.

I like the wheels as they are at the moment so theyre going to stay silver. No doubt il have a change of mind at some point though!

Ozzay · 5th July 2009, 21:51

i think antracite will finish it off mate

each to their own, its your car end of the day!

I have a Kent pt40 cam on the way for it, and am going to have it skimmed and pressure tested. Also going to recut the valve seats and fit new stem seals.

Also considering new valve springs and a vernier pulley, not sure if the valve springs will be needed though.

What paint did you use when u sprayed ur rocker cover?

Mark-28-VTR · 7th July 2009, 16:55

good job mate

SaxoIOW · 8th July 2009, 12:23

Car is lookin really good, love the bay. When you fitted your raceland induction kit where did you relocate the power steering reservoire? I have just got one for my vtr and i am unsure where to move it to, cheers

Wizzy · 8th July 2009, 21:07

Thanks for the comments guys.

I used High temperature engine paint to do the rocker cover, i used normal paint before and it bubbled with the heat.

And i didnt need to move the PAS reservior, it wasnt in the way on mine so im not sure what you would do about that.

Got the car on the rollers today at Clifford Cox in Reading.

I just had the cam timing adjusted and the car made 119.5 bhp and 112.1 lbft at the flywheel with 1 degree of advance.

Im very pleased with the result as the car is unmapped at the moment. It feels much better to drive now, deffinately pulls harder. Here is the printout- sorry my scanner isnt great!

Liam_ · 8th July 2009, 22:22

Awesome result that mate - you must be pleased.

Wizzy · 8th July 2009, 23:41

Cheers, yeah im pretty happy with it now, it runs just as i wanted it to

Liam_ · 8th July 2009, 23:49

You get everything sorted with it running a little hot?

Wizzy · 8th July 2009, 23:56

Yeah i think its just normal, it always ran cooler than it does now but its never overheated so i dont think there is anything wrong. Just different thermostats probably.

And the cold starting problem seems to of fixed itself too. Its not done it for about 2 weeks now lol

Looks awesome bud

love the engine bay

whole car looks tidy, just needs standard number plates with no border around them and clear silvatec bulbs in the indicators in the front headlights, other than that it's perfect

Wizzy · 9th July 2009, 10:18

Cheers!

Ive been meaning to get number plates for a while as i can get them for a few quid each from work. Its just one of those things ive not got round to yet.
