Finally got the engine started today, after a few probs she started with no manifold so its effin loud but idling ok. Not got much left to do now, the car should be on the road by next weekend. Oh and Gar cheers for your comments on seloc very much appreciated, quite pleased I did it myself without mr scuffums help. Cheers Craig.
Ps Stu Id still like to post those sensors down to you as im running without just now.

Must feel good to have it up and running, well done.

I read the nonsense on SELOC - at least you managed the conversion without a penny going his way!

What JJ said - I was tempted to throw my 2p worth in against Mr S but decided not to dignify his nonsense with a response!

Top job that man!!

Craig,

I did think I felt a disturbance in the force

Very, very well done indeed. Good luck with adding some noise-abating items now!

I can feel a lap record coming on, top work fella.

I started it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<BG>

ie I turned the key whilst Craig checked the rear end...................

Great result, it was good to see him jumping with glee having had no joy with the two problems the last couple of days. The fuel pump not going beyond prime was an ECU setting, and lack of electrics to the spark plug was reversal of two socket wires.

Now awaiting the new manifold and box from Jim, rear wishbones back from blasting and painting, and then he can connect up the drive shafts.

Should be ready for a road test shortly after those arrive.
