the car is alive!! revs like mad!! but the afr is a little arratic probably because of the old fuel maybe shall i get a video for you guys?

[vocky]

so is the tickover and low revs much smoother now and did you fit the new small vacuum pipes to those thingys

[GeorgeBC]

How did you get the car started and down to the MOT station with the old fuel in and a dead battery?

[vocky]

trailer, battery wasn't flat then, fuel isn't as bad as he makes out but the emissions were borderline

[The Batman]

Haha when you start your car it says 'poo' on the top gauge

[The Batman]

Not sure why the boost gauge isn't working either, something to investigate tomorrow!

[slindborg]

sounds cool AFR looks tollerable, its not dangerously lean for Idle

[The Batman]

Cheers buddy Cool that's good news! I think I may disconnect it after the car is mapped as it will turn into a gauge dedicated to making me paranoid!

[NickB787]

Great news Joe glad she is ready to roll

[The Batman]

Getting there buddy how is yours coming along?

[NickB787]

been flat out at work but 4 days off now so will be working like mad, can't have you the first harroped vx on the road you know

[Hark]

Sounds cool.

What's the first track day you're aming at Joe?

[DarrylB]

Go Joe! Go Joe! Loving the vid!

[slindborg]

Cheers buddy

Less information about the engine is far far better for the soul
I'd run with a speedo, oil pressure warning light and fuel gauge (maybe coolant temp too) if I were making a dash

[The Batman]

What's the first track day you're aming at Joe?

Not sure yet! Going to drive it for a few hundred miles then get booked in for a remap, then book the earliest trackday I can and try and do at least 4 by end of April! But I think I will need to sort sound out, so will give him a bell after I have got some sound readings for him

Slindy that is very true!! It has done what I asked and saved my engine with the last ecu remap as fueling was very out. So it was worth buying, now after it's mapped I will turn it off!

What figures should I be avoiding? High/low

Nick I doubt I will be on the road until January time! Probably mid January!

Thanks everyone for saying it sounds good I will try and get a proper video, and also a driveby on a private road!

So that's where people practice how to carry out a drive-by!

[The Batman]

if you ever end up on a private road and see a wall with a craply painted bank/car/people on it with loads of little holes and metal shrapnel on the floor everywhere... Just turn around

And...If you drive too fast to read the sign post, then slow down.
