update.. gone way past the 500 mile mark now, so yesterday brought these and dropped the oil

thought id clean plugs too, and well they didnt need it, im so use to carboned plugs, but this engine seems to be running spot on, well happy and its mint on fuel tbf

and thought id add to collection of chrome with polished water rail, dipstick/ breather pipe and gas bonnet struts, fitted the struts straight away

Beautiful mate

Thats looking mint mate, Good to hear its all goin well for you.

Some nice wee additions you got there

cheers guys, yeah it rather good now, only tiny little problems really that i can do whenever! for now just getting bits done ready for pvs,
having spark plug cover powdercoated, tigra scuttle sprayed gloss black, new wipers, new windscreen as i smashed it and just get some cleaning items

looks awesome mate

well, fitted my new polished items this morning! after doing it came to start and wouldnt go, lost f**king spark again! ive checked it all over many times see if i missed plug or anything but i havent, even tried my other ecu and still no joy! havent a clue why changing dipstick tube and water rail would cause it to loose spark might have to cancel pvs at this rate

Disturbed the loom? Broken wire?

sounds like a broken wire doesnt it, hmm if you were real keen you could swap to a dizpack system (iv got one from mine) that worked.

what does the paper clip test come up with?

well checked the loom tonight, and you both was right, wire going to coil had split, so must have upset it when doing other jobs! connected it back up anyway and engine fired into life will solder it later in week when i get some solder as ran out..

I would put a thumbs up but tapatalk sucks hairy ass

so thats been your problem all along then, so you'v got a spare ECU now then, time for a chip

well i still think mty other ecu was problem! yesterday the wire that was split was already solder so was probs a weak joint and ive accidently pulled it or something! could always put other ecu back in thou and keep my good one in car just incase

gave it a good thrash today, hit well over 100mph couple times, is dangerous atm in my poo suspension, problem is ive now got this knocking when pulling of sometimes in first and sometimes going round corners! sounds very much like a cv to me, soo ill inspect tomorrow see if can find everything, if it is probs have to cancel pvs or limp there at 50mph all the way! it seems fine driving thou, just pulling off and corners occasionally. my speedo is out a good 8-9mph too

Yea they go like f**k! Can't wait to drive mine 2moro bummer to hear about the possible cv joint don't really know what else it could be and you are coming to pvs! Don't pull that excuse lol your using uprated shafts aren't you? what inner and outer cv joints are you using? As I want up upgrade my short shaft to a big cv setup as only running a gsi short shaft atm and thats the inner one that kept blowing until I lifted the gearbox up on the mounts but I'm still tempted to do the shafts and cv joints anyway.
