well it's all finished first thing is a big thank you too jim at track n road who set about doing all the bits that needed doing to sort it all out,new loom,breathers,mapping,more wiring,making up trays etc etc (cheers mate)

all in all very happy after 4 years this car has been off the road the only thing it failed on the mot was an alloy was missing (different size wheel on same axle) and the side light bulbs was not working but should have them done by tomorrow both bulbs blown and an alloy by wednesday (e-bay if no one replys on the wonted thread by 9pm)
insurance all sorted by sky and should be all tax'ed and mot'ed by thursday

nice and neat now

with a capital NNNNNOOOOO

if on the other hand could it done in less time alot less time may be but day to day driving will answer that, jim did say that it would work better if i had an extra 1000 revs but due to the way its been set up but then i need more money that is never going to happen
still have to sort out the power steering i think its a bit lazy and has stopped on me then back on ?? was fine on the motorway just did it the once on the drive

oh i did like the v6 vectra turbo he was working on thats going to be quick

Quadcam24 08-12-13 08:31 PM

so glad you have got it back complete at last, just in time for christmas !

Dave MGT 08-12-13 09:07 PM

Glad you have it back at last!
Look forward to the graph.
Bet it sounds epic!!!

Mark S 08-12-13 09:28 PM

very impressive.

If you give up on the vx pas system, I have a merc a class pump that could work a treat, should be an easy change having seen your setup.

Maxfly 08-12-13 10:36 PM

Great to see it finished and your happy with it:) Look forward to some running reports to se how it all fits in on the road. Hope you manage some good sound clips and drive bys with the beastie, as said it must sound amazing:D

Jesus he's had that a while remember seeing that sat there for about. 8. Month whist mine was suppose to be getting done..

Which did eventually get done also..

DTA S80 ain't it?? With custom fuel rails? Or was that someone else's

Hope it came back in better knick than mine :) stripped mine back and started again to make it look presentable although he did a gd job of the loom

p_b82 10-12-13 09:56 AM

Glad to hear that you finally have your car back and it is sorted :)

hope you now have many years of enjoyment out of it!

Jay-ZS+ 10-12-13 11:19 AM

Great to hear you have got it back all sorted, bet it sounds immense!

tb steve 16-12-13 06:05 PM

well i did say the power steering was cutting out

now i have no fluid left at all so heavy to turn lol

so how long can i drive it with no fluid in it ( not far i bet ) and it's to dark to see plus im at work till 2200 oh such fun

petet16 16-12-13 06:44 PM

How far do you need to go, the main issue, heavy steering apart is the pump running with no fluid.

tb steve 16-12-13 07:14 PM

opps abit late on the reply about 20mins drive home

petet16 16-12-13 07:25 PM

I'd go for it, I don't think that would cause any damage to the pump.

tb steve 16-12-13 08:08 PM

cool cheers pete just have to find the leak now

Maxfly 16-12-13 08:23 PM

I suppose the good thing is that you know what the problem is, as you say it is just finding the leak. I would hope upon a good poke around it would show itself fair quickly and may just be a split pipe or needing a clamp done up:)

Supercharged_Z 16-12-13 08:57 PM

prob a high pressure hose if you have lost it all

tb steve 16-12-13 09:26 PM

i have not had a look yet just wished it was done right the first time

I agree with that. just adds to your frustration. I had it with my supercharged car a few times.

tb steve 17-12-13 05:23 PM

ok my bad there is loads of fluid in there looked like there was none

so it's the fuse or the pump ??
if its the fuse will have to go bigger again there was a 20amp in there but it was getting hot so jim stuck a 40amp in there but we are not sure if the pump is a 40amp one or not

ive got a mate bring in a multi meter tomorrow

petet16 17-12-13 05:25 PM

You have electric pas ?.

talkingcars 17-12-13 05:42 PM

Is the fluid up to the correct level?
How clean is it?
Does it bubble when the engine is running?

Where is this fuse?
If the correct fuse is in there and it keeps blowing you need to find the problem, just increasing the fuse will increase the risk of damage, possibly even a fire.

Mark S 17-12-13 06:52 PM

20amp fuse is prob a bit weak for ehpas pumps, 40 or 50 would be a better choice.

talkingcars 17-12-13 07:40 PM

but the standard ZS doesn't have EPAS.

petet16 17-12-13 07:44 PM

Standard zs pas has no fuses, I'm confused. !
