I keep thinking that if I could get it back to the house all the little tasks would soon be nibbled away

...but the Subaru and Defender still need work doing to them first - the Defender in particular since a few bits are starting to dissolve at a ridiculous rate. The Subaru still needs a new sump and a re-map, neither of which are cheap.

On the plus side the house is more or less finished, so that shouldn't cost anything big this year haha

Well I've not sold it yet

Been in here for quite a while now

Shame to see it not used, but sometimes everything else gets in the way.

What are you plans for it currently? or are you still "distracted" by everything else?

Maxxed_Ross · 06-06-17, 07:46 PM

the "everything else" list is getting smaller and there is a plan afoot to get the car back to my house over the winter to do some work on it.

I've been buying bits for it as I find them, so I think i have 80% of the bits needed to get the fuel system finished. Just need the bit for the end of the fuel rail to get it plumbed into the ZS pipe work.

After that it needs the rear engine bracket sourcing and the map downloaded into the DTA - I'm not getting my hopes up too much but it's almost ready to run. Well after i strip the top off the engine to lubricate everything again. It's not turned over in about 2 years

What bit do you need for the fuel rail?

Hope you get a chance to get it sorted out soon - I know what it feels like to get delays that are outside of one's control delay projects!

If there is anything on my MK2 180 Breaker that you need, let me know

At the moment I'm struggling to find out what I actually need to mate the ZS fuel lines to the T series fuel system. I was checking out a ZR with a T series recently and it had a machined adapter that bolted into the end of the fuel rail

At the moment I don't have the flexible hoses either, as I didn't want to end up with the wrong ends on them

I also need the bracket for the engine that goes to the rear engine mount on the ZS, but it looks like the oil cooler is in the way

Ok so the engine mount? That for the sump at the back?
420 nasp mk2.

I have a T in my zs180. Wasn't hard to do. I'll take a look if that's what your doing.

thanks Drew that would be useful

It'll probably make total sense if I see one fitted. I'm sure I remember from advice at the time of fitting it originally that I need the sump mount off a bubble shape 400
