Finally got time to get the engine in and plumbed back up as have been waiting for parts... the relief when she fired up was immense..lol
hoping to get out on the road tonight for a test drive to see if there are any leaks and get some miles slowly on so I can book in for remap and new
injectors..
Should not take long for me to put 4-600 miles on..

half way through engine running in and it pulls nicer than it did before and is a lot louder...
Decided to take the plunge and get a full Simpson Race exhausted made for the car...
Dash2 to be fitted still .
Thinking of the injectors would these be any good for my application?

Well we ended up with 221.3 bop and 178.9 lbft.
Really happy with the result as it is very driveable and the noise in infectious, Dave and john at emerald have done a cracking job highly recommended

Sounds good, what was it when you first arrived at Dave's?
What intake set-up are you running?
Is it possible I have seen you in Yaxley on the Ferndale estate?
Why do it the easy way, when I can do things my way!

Small world.

Good luck at Cadwell tomorrow. Have you been before? Just build up gently. Having visited the barriers at Cadwell in the past, I know how well they
can bite.

We went to Cadwell September last year, defiantly will be building up as lest time we had half a pack of pony's less to play with. Looks like
there is going to be showers so hall bends will be interesting to say the least
If you can let me know how to post vides I have a few from emerald.

Cadwell went really well, started off a bit dicey and very wet... Not the ideals senates to learn the car in, some rabbit nose moments. Then it
cleared up, had a few issues. The clutch needed adjusting as I could not get clean gears when hot or under high load, this was fixed with adjustment
of the cable and peddle . The second issue was a little more prohibiting the dash 2 went crazy and failed, look like it's not as waterproof as
it should be so I had no telemetry, not ideal with the new engine spec meaning I had no idea of water temp,oil pressure or temp, no rev counter nor
speed.. So had to be ginger even when the track was dry but this did not detract from a very good day, hope fully race technology will be reasonable
about the situation and turn it round befor 18th July ready for rockingham.

Mine is only a couple months old, and first time out in rain.
I will let you know what they say.
I have just tried it out after keeping it in the airing cupboard over night and it seems to read ok now

dash went in well, started the car and it ran a bit rough... after speaking to emerald it seems I will need to trim up the cold start a bit, once warm
the car runs silky smooth.
Had a good day at Rockingham day started very wet and slippery, gave myself a big scare coming out of Tarzan big tank slapper both ways, funnily
enough the 911turbo behind me was quite scared too. just before lunch things started to warm up nicely, then after lunch it went very hot and dry.
my wife and I both had a lesion in the afternoon and well it was the best £60 I have ever spent, really pleased with the confidence and understanding
of the car it gave us. just need to practice more..oh well another excuse to book a track day for August.
