Silver C70 T5 - Manual - 400BHP

[stribo]

Coolant temp is bang on 90 degrees. HLM pressurised it to 1.5bar and left it for an hour - with no losses. I am pretty confident I have that bit covered.

last oil leak seems ok. Levels on my 80 mile round trip to see friends in Brum was uneventful though the P0014 code keeps re-occuring. I have ordered a new VVT solenoid. Should be with me by Monday.

You should have said, I have a VVT solenoid, that I bought for the R, but it was the wrong one.

[Wobbly Dave]

I can always send the new one back, if I don't open the packaging.

[stribo]

PM me your address, and I'll send it up to you.

[Wobbly Dave]

I am grateful for this assistance.

[graemewelch]

is there a chance the vvc hasnt been set right. id be checking that first befor spending your hard earned

[Wobbly Dave]

It should have been - I've done it enough times now & I was there when it was done. New bolt, new VVT hub. Only old thing is the solenoid. I am going to change the solenoid first as it is relatively easy to do.



However I may ask to borrow Colin's cam locking kit if the new solenoid doesn't solve it.

No problem mate, I told you it would be best for you to hang on to it....lol

Are you going to get the rear diffuser?

Im looking into it. I emailed Heico about the price etc as they dont have prices for it on their website but thatwas a week ago and they still have not replied... from what I can find out so far its over £1000 and thats only the back quarter and the diffuser. so might be a tad expensive but we will see

Yeah but it looks soooo coool!!

[graemewelch]

Well dave turned up today. First time ive heard the exhaust in person and i have to say it sounds awsome. The whole car dose. Inside the car you can hardly tell its got a 3" turbo back system but outside the burble is awsome. Big thanks today to dave for putting up anal crap and taking up most of his day

Sorry to go off topic, but are there any pics/links to said diffuser?

What you two get up to together is best kept to yourselves.

All things being equal I plan to get to the next southern softies meeting.

Thanks to GW for all his hard work today. Can't be easy with the next orthopod operation looming.
As for the anal thing - we both share an eye for detail and seek perfection. I appreciate all that he's done today.

I'd imagine it would be hard for Graeme working on a hairdresser's car that is so much quicker than his.

i stuffed a bug in the middle silencer to make sure it slower than mine.

the way this car revs once all the T's are crosses and the I's are dotted its going to be a reet weapon. the way it revs from idle to redline is unreal. maybe ill be lucky enough to race dave up the strip at york later this year

so funny mr stribo, but you'll have to make yours that quick, before you can take the p!ss, I bow down to wd power but different budgets will give different routes to the same end goal, but we all know we can do it on a shoestring, proving it is the next milestone and we will do it, the underdogs route to power will unfold soon ....

[Wobbly Dave]

I look forward to the challenge. - Steve BTW this is the C70 C/C with the Heico rear diffuser fitted.



I wish they'd do one for mine.

when claymore works out his 2 engine build

must say there are 2 cars on this forum that i really would like a ride along with 1 is claymore when he gets his dual engine build up and running because one engine was a beast the other is daves.
