Changed oil, changed spark plugs, replaced a broken wheel stud (cheeky cunts blue-takked the wheel nut on!), fitted front and rear bumpers, cleaned MAF sensor and cleaned the engine bay and got a WOF. The joys of getting a new car that isn't quite up to scratch! Running sweet now though ;D

Painted the disks and rear callipers black. Had 27 month old toddler "assisting".

His comments "I fix the car, I fix" or "I paint daddy"... had to hide everything and it took near on 3 hours...

[petrolheadjman]

painted disk?

Today I butchered my baffled twin-scroll prototype sump as it was essentially its first test fitment.

Got that sorted then ended up cutting and reshaping my factory twin-scroll headers as well otherwise I'd never be able to drain the oil. Next time I'm just going to start with a twin-scroll sump and baffle that!

But now it all fits and looks like an engine. Need to supply beer to one of the CNC guys at work to make me some adjustable pulleys now so I can get the cam timing sorted.

Dial the cams up and see where they are,

I have just set up my Kelford cams by slotting the drive dowel holes slightly to give adjustment - got them all to within 1/2 a degree

Or buy a pair of Crawford adjustable idlers

I have been discussing that with Tony as its my last resort for getting it dialled. He usually does the rally cars like that, its just that its a pain in the ass to do.

I've been pestering our machine shop to make these for me for about 6 months now. Took just as long for them to make a restrictor for me as well so as each day goes by, it looks like I'll be doing it as you mentioned

Cleaned the AFM (filthy, damn K&N pod) and reset the ECU.

Moved the hose that was occasionally preventing the throttle from closing completely.

Stupid car idles a lot better now.
