Arrived down at Will Pedleys haunt!



We arrived pretty late so we stuck the trailer with car straight into the dyno cell and the rest of customers cars etc in the workshop. Will had a wee look over and got ready for the morning



Hopefully everything will be ok this morning on the rollers

Well I didn't plan on coming back to Blackpool!!!!



All for this, many thanks to the guys at Motorsport Developments for writing a chip for me on very very short notice, turns out who ever sold me their "stage 3 package" didn't have the correct chip and it was a stage 1!! Not amused



So back to AET and try it out,

Well it made 355 on the rollers but it's a little lean at top end. We think the heads slightly ported though so this would account for that?! Sadly the clutch gave in so castle Combe is a no go for me. What to do? Get a hotel and go on the pee with Mr Pedley!! :dunno:

Got the exhaust heat wrap on today while the boys were sorting the gearbox



Put my plate on it, can't find the pic.

And got the other cars ready for the Scottish car show
The fiesta is back together and will hopefully be gracing the tracks again soon



The road escos



Started loading the cars including the Ultima



And took the lot to Ingliston show ground



And went back for the series 1



My old saph was sitting beside my two when I got back!!



And I forgot to take a decent pic of the Ultima for you!

So you'll need to make do with a proper pic

So I could get the electric power steering out of it



Which turned into a nightmare of a job to do, had to get the grinder out!

Right things are moving again. Ordered the ecu and dash!

Went for life racing, syvecs big brother. Basically I'm building this to be ready for anything later on. So this ecu will do the lot and I mean the lot!

Life Racing F88RS ECU
http://www.liferacing.com/wp-content/do ... 0F88RS.pdf

Plex SDM-500 Dash
http://www.syvecs.co.uk/products/displays/plex-dash/

Once this lot arrives I have some jobs to do and then I am taking the car down to sileck motorsport to have a custom loom made for it. Then start saving for the engine!

Have you ever got to that point where you think feck it and rip everything out to start again! Well that's what happened today, i was trying to clean up the interior and it just wasn't happening. So a wee call to Gibby and the cars going over to his to get smoothed out inside, all the wee holes filled up etc and repainted. So all the brake lines, seat runners peddle box, hand brake, fuel lines etc all came out.



Then I had to get rid of all the fuel in the tank that i had filled up for the last track day! Hard to do with no loom in the car, rigged up the buttery charger to the terminals and pumped it out.



Then an empty shell again



And I finally got a boot lock and clip to hold it in, you wouldn't believe the hassle I had in finding one. Made my day being able to fill that bloody hole in the boot up!



Tomorow the cars going to Gibbys so we can check out some stuff
