Well back from Hong Kong and jet lagged to hell but I got to take the coupe for its first proper run today ..even with the WGFV disconnected and running a 1.9bar WG ..it was good at putting a smile on my face..no slipping for the power it had ..so well chuffed just need to roll on 500miles then I can run full power

Update:

Were to start..Have done about 200miles and in that time have had a few teething is issues

Water pump started to leak on me so had another one kicking about so swapped it over only to find that the bearing on that water pump was goosed after 10miles ..grinding it is!!!...so not pleased as this will have to come off all over again...the hex bolt on top of the PS pump has started to seep slightly so that will have to get done easy job but just something else if you know what I mean

On a good note the car is ....RAPID!!!!!!!!!!!...very scary to be honest ..just gradually working my way through the gears..sound is deafening on full boost (no need for radio)

I have a a tool for tightening that cross headed plug Steve. Can get some proper torque on it then.
I'll remember to stick it in the car for next weekend Wink

Cheers

Had a nightmare day today was replacing the rear subframe all going well taking the one of the last bolts out holding the subframe in and it snapped !!..spent 3,5 hours with blowtorchs, angle grinders get it out Mad

Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 8:41 pm

Bummer - at least you got it out Wink

Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2009 12:19 pm

jst found the thread and read it through... wow your coupe is a different car u should be very proud of your acheivement!

like a few ppl on here i would never be able to do all that work to such a standard and in such a short time. let me know if your selling in the future Smile

good luck with future bits and bobs the cars one of those that makes me green with envy Laughing

Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2009 1:36 pm

Thanks for the comments alot time and effort but worth it ...I am lucky to have garage background so got a little bit of head start there

Another update

Well after the snapped bolt saga ended up cutting chassis leg and opened up then replaced org nut welded in place then rebuilt chassis leg back up (did take pics as lost the will to live at this point )...So changed the subframe over , control arms . stiffened the diff mounts up..Car is getting MOT retest today so will get some pics up later

Lowering it this weekend hopefully

And thinking about Matt black paint after seeing this and the car is just shear awesome, i soiled myself just watching it .. Laughing

Looks like it's RWD???

Power is nothing without control (says he with a 1.6 Laughing

)

Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2009 4:43 pm

was guna say its all to cock that thing. a car with half the power and rwd would own it in a straight line and probably round the corners! over kill methinks. he cant get the power down, looks like a giggle though.

i agree, power is nothing without control and/or responsibility says the guy with a 2.0 8v Laughing
