That sucks. Can't someone remove one fromt a complete dizzy and put the new one onto that when it arrives? Food for thought for them.

well think its time i updated this,

the car is now running,
http://media.putfile.com/Second-Fire-up-of-stg3-v8

needs a remap session, but we are mobile, had a few gremlins to sort out as the vac unit did not cure the fault, the ecu was sent away and that was fine too,
turned out to be a faulty lock nut on the new pushrods, it had failed and wound its adjuster out which held the exhaust valve open on one cylinder :roll:

last weekend we had a throttle spring break and jam the throttle wide open nearly totalling mine and two other cars,

this weekend, we nearly wrote her off with a rear end puncture,
on removing the rear wheel we came across this sticking out the inner side wall,
Image

this is the entry point and what was sticking out the sidewall
Image

we went back to where we heard the bang and found this lot in the road, just think if it was someone on a motorbike that hit this lot,
Image

BUT on a brighter note:
while the car is laid up with no rear tyres,
i got on doing the injection system ready (fingers crossed) for the WON day at FAST.
Trial fit, to check fittment.
Image

New Bosch 440cc's- 42lb/hr Motorsport Injectors and fuel rail fitted,
Image

Trumpet base and plenum top reffitted,
Image

A few minor things left to connect up, but it got too cold round the garage this evening (-2 on the car thermometer)
