H5 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Posted January 3, 2008 Well done Rob.The erratic idle may require a reset on the throttle postion if you need it I can give you details. Cheers Phil. That would be handy please, each time I dip the clutch it jumps to about 1,400 rpm and only drops to 1,000 rpm when I stop. Also little engine braking at the moment, this is after about 45 minutes of driving. If it needs a reset, I'll give it a go. Quote

If you check out the Guides section you'll find throttle resetting there Quote
GIXXERUK Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 polished TB, intake, strut brace and plenum look so nice work rob the torque settings are only just above finger tight, i have two wrenches (one for lower setings), they are about the normal figures you would torque a rocker cover down at the main thing is that you tighten it progressively and evenly imo (like a head gasket - evenly working from side to side pulling it flat ) Quote

H5 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Posted January 3, 2008 Just need to get some practice in with the dremel and buy a random orbital polisher and then the 'paint' in the engine bay should shine a bit. A bit of careful wiring and few more changes lined up, the bay should be finished.... I tightened up all by hand first then worked in star shapes to pull the rest of it down as evenly as I could.

GIXXERUK Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 i really think it looks great rob, i'm ashamed to lift my bonnet now i hate the primer look of the paint under there aswell although it is shiney primer now another thing i do like is the way kev (envy) has used chrome braided lines to cover his wiring under the bonnet - looks really neat it would have to be a tiny random orbital polisher to get into the crevices under the bonnet, you wont get close with udm or a pc or similar Quote
H5 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Posted January 3, 2008 Cheers guys. Have to say I am really pleased with it. As for further polishing, I will use the Dremel for the tricky places. Other than that, good old fashioned elbow grease!! Not sure what to do with the other bits under there at the moment. A mate of mine did an amazing job on his Escort Cossie so will enlist his help. Just got the throttle reset to do later.... Quote
