Going to finish the charge cooler pump this weekend, then George has kindly offered to put the clam back on next week while he is on call and I'm at work,, Just waiting on my header tank from Joe Then the mapping will commence

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Rather large charge cooler pump fitted and plumbed in Relay wired just need hEADEr tank now from JOE

Ok I think the car is ready for the clam, at long last, I have managed to waste 3 hours or so today,
Whilst looking for a earth for my pump I decided to get it from the bolt just inside the chassis on the passenger side behind the ear.. Straight forward you would think? NO

The bolt started to turn but the nut on the back was spinning normally this wouldent be a problem depart from the fact the nut in the back was a round cylinder type thing with a tread on it.
It was also inside the box section part of the chassis in a in extensible place,
3 hours later with the wife turning the nut, and me under the car trying everything to tighten the earth bolt back up, in the end I had to use a long file wedged in between the chassis and the round cylinder, I think it tightened by luck in the end rather than skill..
Anyway a few pics of the car waiting for the clam and header tank.

One thing which will definitely needs sorting before HIghland Hoon trip, Since we have changed the fuel pump the fuel gauge is reading full and it isn't full Does anyone have any ideas what wrong with it, The car is still on jacks Or has the float thingy got jammed

if the fuel gauge is registering full and it isn't and the car is level, then you may have bent the float

I hope the float isn't broke/bent
Will have to get the car of the jacks and keep my fingers crossed

Just noticed you had the apexi filter, I put one of these on my blue sc and it restricted it, intake pipe collapsing etc, Think nicolw on here had same problems, thought I was getting a bargain from Japan @ £40 instead of £70-80 over here, I was wrong, it was a very very good fake, same box, wrapping, stickers etc. Apparantly a few mm smaller bore, gold nuts on filter instead of silver and the black plastic cone is of a rough texture and not a gloss finish. The filter card element must be crap so double check it and you may release more bhp!

Yes it's a original cost a lot When switch car off it goes wooch which is strange

Your ECU fitting looks a bit odd. Most are located where your pump is, well out of the way. What did you do to the felt lining, it looks ripped to shreds?!

I mounted ECU closer to the throttle body so I could mount pump there ,
The drill attacked the felt
