Nice one mr fish
can come fix mine if you like 
Rockers '6 - rocker8742 - 12-04-2014
Good day today, managed to get the footwells cleared out and get the carpets back in
Sorted the brake light switch so its not so sensitive, was going off whenever the car hit a bump lol
Also gave it a service this afternoon and adjusted the boot lid so it shuts with no gap like it had before
Got a small to do list left to get through
Need to bleed the rad through again
Stop the exhaust blowing from the cat again
Finish spraying some bay pieces
And give her a damn good clean and polish

Only picture I've taken recently lol
Head unit is back in still haven't sorted the blower direction but think its down to the green cable having a twist in the end of it
Don't seem to be able to get any heat into the cabin though which is a bit concerning, have bled it a couple of times running with heaters on and a cut up bottle for a header tank but still nothing, maybe I'm missing something obvious though
Got the track time pass through today for combe so that will be a decent session to get started with some track driving
Just remembered I have her a quick service on Sunday aswell just need to swap the plugs over for the new set I've got now

Cl should be fun with me and steve
Just got to hope my exhaust passed db test,did before but it one of those thing s I always worry about.
Rockers '6 - devils_fuel - 16-04-2014
Having a twist in the cable maybe your issue or not enough tension, try pulling the outer back and locking in position with erm..a cable tie or similar. Fingers crossed mate
My DT was warm, cold and stayed cold, took 3 attempts at bleeding the air out. Have you put any coolant cleaner in, run it and drained the system, you may have some trapped gunk??
Rockers '6 - rocker8742 - 16-04-2014
What exhaust have you got on there mate? Gotta sort out the blow on mine as its getting bloody daft lol
I've not drained it but bled it a fair few times, may try that at the weekend though
As for the cable it's not down to the tension unfortunately as when the cable should be pushed back into the outer sleeve the cable bunches up at the heater panel end because I think the cable may have been left pushed up somewhere while the dash was off
RE: Rockers '6 - 7057sam - 16-04-2014
Mine a magnex cat back and decat quite chavy low down in the revs but nice at the top.It's a 2.5 incg system so abit bommy but probably the best for power and looks.
Rockers '6 - devils_fuel - 17-04-2014
Flush the system out with cleaner, think of all that old gunk - more of a piece of mind job
. Fingers crossed you get this sorted mate
Rockers '6 - rocker8742 - 17-04-2014
Any decent cleaners you'd recommend?
Mine should be fine as its standard with an omp box on just need to sort out the blows haha
Rockers '6 - devils_fuel - 17-04-2014
We used to use forte ones in the garage, still use them now

Couple of pictures after a quick wash today
Rockers '6 - mr_fish - 18-04-2014
No clones?!
Rockers '6 - rocker8742 - 18-04-2014
Not at the minute mark one of the tyres has a huge bulge in so these are a temporary measure
Rockers '6 - rocker8742 - 05-05-2014
Re sprayed my coil pack cover and did a couple of other plastic bits in the bay

RE: Rockers '6 - Eeyore - 05-05-2014
All of the paint has come off my engine bay plastics. What primer did you use? Some fairly vibrant colours going on there.
RE: Rockers '6 - 7057sam - 05-05-2014
Wow thats white! Looks good though
Are you doing any track time at fcs??
Rockers '6 - rocker8742 - 05-05-2014
They haven't been on for long so ill see how they last, it was Simoniz grey primer and a couple coats of hycote white primer

Not sure if ill be at fcs just yet mate, would like another crack at combe though hopefully in the dry. Probably be at pugfest though
RE: Rockers '6 - RetroPug - 05-05-2014
Interesting cold air feed you've got there!
RE: Rockers '6 - ozonehostile - 05-05-2014
I was talking to matt_rallye the other day about painting all the intake side of the engine white, purely in the interest of keeping the temps down as much as possible, did you do it for any reasons like that or just because it looks cool?
should get some intake air temps before and after
Rockers '6 - devils_fuel - 05-05-2014
Would painting the inlet any colour really make that much of a difference?
Rockers '6 - rocker8742 - 05-05-2014
It was purely for looks mate don't know if it would make much if a difference u certainly haven't noticed any difference
RE: Rockers '6 - ozonehostile - 05-05-2014
any difference would be so minimal it wouldn't make a difference anyway, I just give that much of a shit that I would consider measuring it anyway haha
Rockers '6 - devils_fuel - 05-05-2014
Wrapping it in gold leaf would disperse temps quicker...maclaren did it
How much do you want to invest in it lol
Rockers '6 Whoops - rocker8742 - 12-06-2014
Well for those people that didnt see this at fcs, it was there but only on stand briefly, was an eventful day
After leaving home at 6:30 had a gear linkage snap 5 minutes up the road so had to Bodge it with a cable tie to get me to combe
Bought some bakerbm gear linkages (thanks to Scott and grant for suggesting speaking to stu he seems like a top bloke) and fitted the top ones on stand ready for going out on track
Got out on track and was going much better than the last outing, deffinitely more capable than I thought so looking forward to getting out again in future
As quite a few of you who were there knew whilst it was on track had a slight issue, the matrix hose popped off of the bulkhead and promptly cooked the engine so it spent the rest of the day being played with to try and make it run again while waiting for a recovery truck
Again big thanks to those who helped or gave advice, was a good day and at least she went out having fun
Borrowed a compression tester (thanks Paul) and got 6/3/3.5/6.5 Bar from drivers to passenger side
Will hopefully be getting another engine to drop into this one and then probably strip the old one to see what state it's in
Unfortunate but oh well gonna move on from here
will probably invest in a few extras for when it goes in tooPictures from the day

Re: Rockers '6 Whoops - kentiiboii - 13-06-2014
Its a shame what happened mate! Time for a new build though! :-)
RE: Rockers '6 Whoops - 7057sam - 13-06-2014
Sorry to hear that tom was going say hi when we came of track and saw your car at the side
I know a mate who got my good engine off for £200 pound he breaks 6's and axsara vts i'm shore he can sort you out a engine
Rockers '6 Whoops - rocker8742 - 13-06-2014
I've already got a replacement lined up Sam but ill keep it in mind if there's a next time haha
Did mean to chat with you guys a bit more but was a bit too focused in trying to make it run again, on the bright side it was much better fun than last time out

Yes tom all the photo a of you on track appear to have you facing the right way
I did fear for the worst after we saw it parked up and the side.
Did you get many laps in before it went?tyres any good?
