Mr postman brought a present today

[nath2905]

was that on ebay?

[c16se corsa]

It was yes

[c16se corsa]

Well its not far off done now in regards to the carbs ect

Got the dizzy whaped on and wired up today and set the ign timing up, set its at around 23 degrees advance



Needed to make a vaccum takeoff for the advance retard on the dizzy so i got a bolt out of a injector rail from a 20xe and drilled the center out


Then tapped a hole in the manifold and sent her home with a bit of ptfe tape


Used a air/fuel guage on the lambda sensor and set the air screws so it was just hovering optimal/rich


Then mounted it in the car so i could keep a keen eye on it to see what it was doing dont want it running too lean and pink because it=melted pistons


Took it out for a drive but it wasnt very good it really hesitated under load so back to the garage for anothe turn of the dizzy and a tweak on the air screws sorted it out and i must say for a 1.4 it goes like joe f**k its still not 100% but its good enough for now

Also i thought i would free up so ponies........good bye god forsaken catalytic convertor


But i couldnt just stop there weve just got a new pipe bender....side exit? yes please pics of that tomorrow!

[gazza_no7]

Looking good mate!! nooo to the side exit lol

[c16se corsa]

its already done lol just didnt take no photos

[nath2905]

looks mint mate, this side exhaust will be interesting

[c16se corsa]

rather the flames come from the side than the back

[PRICER]

haha should be intresting, the noise might be a bit of an issue, and also bending exhaust pipe is a bitch!,

[c16se corsa]

its not over loud tbf, and the pipe bender didnt do too bad just did it slowley plenty of heat

[PRICER]

ahh yea bet the heat helped, when we tried doing it cold once it just collapsed on itself

[c16se corsa]

yeah it would do it helps loads if you do it cold it normally splits on the seam

[Jamie1991]

great work mate, bet it sound nice! must be too loud thou

[c16se corsa]

I've had louder lol but it's not too bad it's just the drone at constant rpm when passenger window is down
