Tornado red 16v ABF jenveys

Had to pop out after I had made the seat mounts on the beige car and thought I'd take this for a drive to get a few miles on it, drove much nicer and is actually getting better and smoother as you drive
It did cut out at a junction and wouldn't start again seemed like bad earth so I tried bump starting it on my own but the traffic built up! And it didn't go! I was fuming! Jumped back in and it turned over fine and eventually fired into life again!
The drive back was fine, filled up with some super unleaded maybe go for another spin tomorrow

 

where are the bumpers from mate? After a set for mine and struggling to find good OE ones!

 

Aftermarket ones! Would recommend them

 

Looking good mate. Looking forward to seeing this sometime, maybe bromley this yr??

 

Definitely will be there this year lol!

Fitted the passenger door card so interior is nearly finished

 

Cheers - any particular ones, pm me if you prefer?

 

Got the stereo fitted yesterday so dash hasn't got a gaping hole in it now, aerial doesn't work though which may cause an issue with headlining having to come out again!!!! Think I'll plug the iPhone in to the aux socket?

 

car looks incredible! great to see it restored and saved

the seats look brand new too!, i think i need to order the outer bolster material, got rips on both sides

have you managed to secure any recaro emblems for the front seats?

 

Thanks

I had another set of centres made with recaro stitch in I'll get some pics

 

Booked the car in with Steve pitcher at track and road on Friday removed the wur for mods as requested by Steve

Nothing else to update you on!

 

Car on its way to Track n Road to be setup

 

Dropped the car off this morning which was an ordeal in itself, got to the roundabout near the rolling road and the car coughed and spluttered and was misfiring terribly I limped it in first gear slipping the clutch as any amount of grip from the clutch the revs just dropped! hazards where on and angry drivers where overtaking on the inside! I had to go round the roundabout! I tried hiding in the seat!
Anyway had a phone call about 2.30 which I missed called back but no answer and drove down to see what was going on?
Steve said the injectors were basically dribbling the fuel into the cylinders on 1 and 4 which he had removed and cleaned as much as possible
The car was unstrapped and he said take it up the road for a test drive, immediately I noticed the drive ability as it was smooth and pulled well but not as exciting as I hoped but at least it's drivable and I can get on with the final bits and pieces

 

Need a picture of the engine bay
Daughter just woke me up now lying on her bed not so comfortable which why we just spent 400 on a new mattress
Flippin kids lol

 

Sorry for lack of updates but it's locked away in my mates garage as I've still got the Volvo at the workshop!

Obviously I'm thinking about making it a bit more interesting!

1 I have a set of jenveys and the emerald ecu

2 I have a T3/4 turbo kit for KR plus the emerald

3 I have 4 or 5 20v's sitting about

I'm thinking of using the jenveys for ease, once I have trigger wheel sorted it can be used either way

 

Not many updates but will be seeing you at some shows with this car this year

 

Bromley?
