well still no MOT :lol:

going this next week :roll:

but ......... got it started using its own starter motor for the 1st time in ages this morning

- needs the starter motor mounting modding slightly then it should be back A1
quite a few little jobs to finish off but nothing to stop it driving round - then we've the injectors and chip etc. to fit get it making decent power

But north weald july10th 2011 is the target

YB vs JZ

not fitted them yet but stu's got a set of sportvan alloys for it

- gonna get em refirbed and powder coated white then some 235/50R18 tyres and it's all set :mrgreen:

very good read this thread, good job boys

another trying to get it ready for a show update :roll:

this time trying for north weald 2012 :mrgreen:

the sportvan wheels are now white and the tyres are ordered

but we can't get it to tickover properly or rev :evil:

done a compression test - all good
had the injector rail off and all 4 injectors blue are working (spraying as they should)
seem to be getting a spark at all 4 plugs - but in the end the battery went flat

we'd like to get it at least MOT-able so we can drive it up to my garage to work on it

another related point we fitted the green injectors and none worked (fitted into the fuel rail spraying into air) - we thought this a bit odd as they were bought as a good working set and for all 4 to be faulty is strange - anyone any ideas why - will they need an uprated pump to work

and can we get then refirbed :?:
