After what seems like an eternity messing with the fuel injection system on the old Rover V8 I have finally got her to start, Tick over and rev up ! thank FUNK for that.

Two things I have just learnt

1, Rover Wiring diagrames are SH!T when is a relay not a relay ? ( even though the diagrame shows it as one ) its a Diode pack that acts as relay while starting and then starts doing all sorts of other things when the engine is running !!!!

2, Rover air mass metters need a vacume to tick over correctly !! .

So

hopefully exhaust finnished theis weekend

Left to do :-

a tidy up wireing due to having to pull my loom apartdue to the above

road test

set speedo

get the emmisions under control

spanner check

SVA

TTFN AGRIV8

Oh and the missus wants a pink crash helmet for Chritmas I am sure you can't get them !! any pointers on how to change a womans mind now that is a challenge

Thats great news mate.

Do you have any more (larger) pics of the car. Looks just how I envisaged mine with bulge etc.

Are they TSW stealths? Had the offer of a set dirt cheap only today and wasnt sure how theyd look.

Well done again, but I agree, the helmet problem could be tricky

Looks awesome Ian! Can't wait to hear it too!

Got any pics of the build or related?

Would be good to whack on my site...

Good effort bud!

Chris.

get a video of it running uploaded!

i want to hear it for more than the exhaustless pop/fart it did for 3 seconds when i was there.

congrats fella

Thanks,

Like the look of the luminous pink spray paint could spray my old Skid lid and buy myself a nice new one

Rich there is a larger picture side on in my archive will upload some more at the weekend know I have sussed Marc's digital camera. The wheels ars TSW dont know what type but are 16's and 8' deep so suit 205 rubber. They are heavy but I will keep for road use and get a lighter set for serious ruber.

RE video Rog can you host it if I can get some taken ? build pictures will have a dig about and see what I can sort out .

Agriv8

Looks absolutely stunning Ian, congrats mate.

Mine is going to look very similar cos I reckon the bonnet bulge suits the black incredibly well.

Im going for different alloys, but IMHO the black looks fantastic.

looks stunning that!

(who'd have thought that was hiding under the dust!)

[Edited on 8/12/05 by Dillinger1977]

thats odd rog everytime you post it does oit three times

sent you some more pics did you get them and has the exhaust arrived yet ????

oh it has gone back to one post !?

i think you've got pixies in your pc again marc.. have you been hitting it again?

yes exhaust + pics arrived fine, cheers !!

SVA bumpers????? Any better pics?

will see if i can find any on the computer, basically they bolt to the outside of the front top wishbone bracket, 19mm steel with light attached, creates a total exclusion zone for lights, shocks etc, same as dax one really ( thats where the idea came from )

best regards

marc

Looks fantastic...

Does it go aswell as it looks?

Chris

Thanks chaps for all the kind words,

Rog re the dust why do you think there are no rear end shots !!.

goes well ! it was scarry enough yesterday and I think it was only running on 6 of the 8. speedo done tonitght tunnel cover back on.

SVA trim up over the weekend emmisions as well gwt sva booked.

Right bed as I have a cold sorry if the missus is reading ' Man flu '

Regards agriv8
