well had a top weekend at e38,
loads of parts arrived this week...
so far i have

old injectors
new bosch part no's, avail of ebay.
fitted to the hoses
fitted the brand new eibach 23.5mm arb on tuesday after work, before the nwvag meet. what a complete mission that was on my own, recruited some help from my housemate and its in and sweet as a nut...
I'm rather annoyed at the 2 poly bushes that go in the middle of the car on the clamps, the have a small ring in the centre that just gets in the way with the enlarged bar. I'm sure this needs cutting out but I've pikeyed the clamps in for now. next week ill take those two bushes out, cut em down and fit them properly
but now the car is so tight that on a 90 degree turn the rear cocks it leg, f**kin a
heres the old polybushed front arb i removed.
my exhaust manifold is also seriously blowing so needs changing asap for that stainless beasty...
and lastly I'm losing alot of oi! but no marks anywhere really bar at the back of the engine, I'm guessin the sump from where i fitted the windage tray as a didnt use longer bolts, tighten it up tho and itll be reet.
new heater matrix, front lower strut brace and heater valve arrived...
also painted up my teh lucas 54 calipers, its a saf special paint job but it does the job muhahaha
sal came over today and we went down to a couple of scrappies, spotted a mk4 and mk6 polo both baseish models, golf mk3 estate and gl. couple of mk2 and mk3 gtis spotted some g60 calipers, and a fair few rear disc conversions
might go back for some...
got my timing set up properly with a light gun, it was only out by a couple of degrees but its bang on now. one of my exhaust manifold bolts has snapped off someone elses pikey attempt at getting it off...
gonna phone my mate martin tomorrow whos an abosl*te beast, I'm sure he'll be able to rock it out
also the vacuum pipe that comes from teh rocker cover was just attached to nothingness so i went to a fishing shop to get a tee piece connecter. the guy there pulled up this random crack box with odds and sods in and was looking for ages , he coudnt find it so i went into the car and he comes runnig out, gives me one...
me: legend mate, want a quid for it?
him: f**k offfffff!
nice one got it for free schaweet, so its now connected via a teepiece from my dizzy vacuum which is also connected to the TB. werd
anyway fitted new injectors, fuel hoses that arent frayed and a cold start valve, the old injectors were dirty as and the seals were absolutely shot!
