SRowells Black Rallye

[Eeyore]

okay todays update.

Tom arrived. Tom left. I arrived. Tom Arrived and finally we were both there. Car up, wheels off, brakes off, discs off, beam off, bias valve off, other bits off. Brake lines broken so ordered a new roll of brake line and the M10x1mm joints. Should be set to go as soon as that arrives which will either be this week or next. plenty to be doing though. I dropped off the new parts today which were solid beam mounts, group N engine mounts, aftermarket rad fans, full cambelt kit, oil cooler kit and all the service parts. Had a quick test of the fans to make sure that two of them would fit on the rad as i only had one previously. No idea what brand they are but one worked perfectly on the 1.8 so two should be enough on the hotter 6.



We also ran the engine for just under ten minutes and it didnt knock at all. Probably because it wasnt up to temperature. Neighbours were in so couldnt run it for longer however next time we are there if they go out itll be getting a longer time running. if its knocking again ive got a engine lined up which i can collect any evening or weekend!



big thanks to tom as he did most of the work with me helping occasionally. I got the garage tidied up, binned loads of parts and rubbish and created more space for us to work on. ive also brought the coilovers, washer bottle, throttlebodies and rear brakes home to clean up for next weekend. Lots still to be getting on with whilst the brake lines are being delivered.
