[madmanluke]

thats great mate. if you have enough room, i might need some where to sprey my engine bay up as il be doing it in the wind on my drive at the moment!!

if you need a hand let us know. Don't know how much use il be. I got round to looking at barrys loom the other night and it didnt go very well with trying to wire it up. A lot different to my loom!

Right then moved into a new unit with sum mates still got loads of stuff to bring up and still finish painting the floor I HATE DUST

Done a few Lil bits to the golf aswell
Well hears a few pics first

Just moving the golf ready to load on to transporter

Half painted floor and mine and my mates polo gt on bike carbs


Just some of the mess lol






Oh and a few of the new wheels corvette wheels anyone ?





9 and a half j on the rear and 8s on the front got a mate popin up to do my arches and stick my g60 stuff on
They look awesome and suit the car perfect


Pic of my step daughter helping me fix a cutting out problem with an abf mk3


Done a little work on my mk2 had no fuel so changed the fuel pump and still no fuel or power so check the wiring again and dodgy earth the pump was getting warm and still no fuel so took the lift pump out and it had conjeeld petrol on the pick up ( a first for me) and all the rubbers and seals had perished so a few swear words later

Anyway on the same farm as the unit c2 motorsport live so spoke to the top blokes up there and they gave me a mk3 vr6 tank and fuel pump and wiring so I can rip out all the old stuff and hopefully have this thing started this week

[madmanluke]

looking good dude - Gunna have to say it again. You've got a seriously sweet deal there with that unit! Looks perfect!

Liking the wheels too!

[popleyruss]

Cheers Luke anytime ur around give me a shout and pop down

[popleyruss]

Can safely say my car is pissing me off now put the fuel tank in and wired the pump up and still no spark or fuel so I ran wires direct to the pump and from the coil as it won't run from the key turning the engine turns over but just don't spark or fuel


Anyway the wires run straight to the coil and fuel pump the car turns over with fuel and spark but the engine still won't run I can't get my head around it ??

[madmanluke]

had a look and crank and knock sensors?

I assume its de-imobalsised?

Got all your vacume lines covered up so there are no airleks to the inlet?  Made sure that the fuel lines are on the right way round?! twice I have put my send pipe onto the return pipe on the fuel rail....

[popleyruss]

Think it's gonna be a long day Saturday lol also did Barry tell u I have a spare engine and box just incase.

I got it mega cheap so if urs gos just give me a should it's just sat there ready for 1 of us lol

[madmanluke]

[popleyruss]
