CrashBangWallop Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 And yes Neil, you can have a lift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Progress report please turbo nutter Well, if Mark pulls his finger out, I could have a car at least worthy of turning a key this weekend Still booked into GDS on Wednesday, 25th May. They 'eventually' sent me the turbo flange... only to get the wrong one delivered by them I'm probably going to have to hire a van and tow the car there. Have to admit, I'm crapping myself. I've never driven a transit and never towed a trailer so, I'm not looking forward to it. *Hugh (or anyone else free, for that matter), if you still haven't a job by then and your car has a tow-bar, well.... ) Need to drill the fuel returns into my fuel-tank, which again, is not something I find appealing at all. My back is still hurting a little. Got a nice massage planned on Friday afternoon and a visit to the osteopath's, too. Chaz, I would hope if the car is back from GDS, I may be in my own. I suppose I have to start thinking about intercoolers now, too. You were right about the 'think of a price and double it' Having said that though... I have bought some bits that weren't initially in the 'to do' list! Cheers, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll no doubt be available, but I have no tow bar and no experience of towing stuff have you considered returning the fuel line to the big pipe that joins the filler cap to the tank? Don't think I'll be able to make this one Chaz I'm afraid. Sounds good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyB Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Cheers guys, that was great fun. The new brakes work a treat and I'm definitely getting the hang of the car now. Even managed to get Neils car wired up this afternoon (well mostly ) Mark B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcoopers Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Even managed to get Neils car wired up this afternoon (well mostly ) Pigs and flying. i'm begging to doubt that Neil actually has a car anymore I suspect that's lined me up for humble pie as to boosts it past me Best get the burtons catalouge out again I think Yeah sorry i had to go home, but I was due home at 10.30am, and I was in fakenham at that point......so I got a rollocking.....still didn't wipe the smile of me face, as I had a fair tinkle on the Valve springs to get back in just over 1 Hour and 20 mins. Even had a copper wave at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashBangWallop Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Just got back in the house now. I think Mark should get the name 'scruffy'. I was picking up bits of stripped wire for ages! Thanks, Mark. I hope I can get everything ready for next weekend for you. Chaz, if you're listening, I need a spot of welding done, please. Please. PLEASE. And charge your mobile back up, too. Speaking of boost, Mr Jackson... I managed to suck -5 psi out of my boost guage but, only +1 psi by blowing. Work into that what you will!

Liam Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Should be ok for that. I'll bring a fuel tanker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcoopers Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Awr come on Neil, that's far too easy a line to mess with. Seriously, do you need a wand with anything, I've got a bit of spare time this weekend comming? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyB Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Yes I know I'm a messy bu**er, but at least it all works Mark BTW Did you ask about the fuel pump relay Earth with Clem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashBangWallop Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Any of you nice people have Chaz's HOME tel. no. ? I've got his mobile no. but, it never seems to be on for more than an hour or so PM me, if you have, please. Mark. Thanks for the offer but, I can't think of anything that will need your manly cart-wheeling skills. It's up to me to get the various bits bolted back on now. Thanks, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazpowerslide Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 Buzy at work I'm afraid Neil, I had neglected to charge my mobile for a couple of days and then neglected to pick up my messages. I also had'nt looked at this thread for a couple of days either so I missed your messages. I'll see you tomorrow to do the welding as per our conversation today Chaz.
