[delcowizzid]

well here she is at last the new test vehicle what a stunna for $615 bucks LOL. she needs some work but its pretty grandpa spec electric windows that all work wish i didnt have them but oh well calais seats one broken mount needs welding it automatically rises to full height when you get out LOL.exhaust is crushed half shut in 2 places looks worse in real life the pic doesnt do the crushed exhaust justice its like 1 inch flat at that point, torque converter slips badly when its locked at 100 will be one of the first things to be fixed.engine is ummmm rough LOL shes not running smooth even in buick terms partly the incorrect tune for the wrong series engine partly lack of servicing and that crushed exhaust and i wouldnt be surprised if its got a bad fuel reg or coolant sensor ecu circuit she smokes a bit from too much fuel wideband and realtime ecu go in in the morning for some diagnostics logs and see where shes at and it will add closed loop which it doesnt have running the nz tune and no O2 sensor.watch this space it will be boosted very soon let the fun begin

[WogBoyz]

hey man good starting point

give that engine a good degrease too

[delcowizzid]

bah i have a sneaking suspition it wont be in there long when it gets some boost applied need to get it running proper first she pretty quite runner might get an oil pressure guage and check oil pressure might be a goodie if i can get it running smooth

hey mate lets get into it then you may as well come live up here for a wile lol you got full acess to my shed and now i got a nice jack for ya to come on up and we will start

[delcowizzid]

well its running a little better put in some new plugs supercheap only had bosch so i had to break my own rules of running only ngk but i had no choice but to run them.seems there was 3 different kinds of plugs in it 2 bosch an ngk and 3 other incorrect ngks with washer seats instead of tapers LOL. went to start it no go was like WTF then realised i took the ecu out LOL.went a little better so i swapped in the vr S2 coil pack seemed to idle worse but shes way smoother when cruising but theres plenty of times it hits deadspots in the rpm range. injectors next 3 are clicking hard 3 arnt they have been a suspect all along i reckon they are leaking when its turned off and not flowing to great either ill get a fuel filter i have some VR injectors here out of chrs spare vr manifold ill slap them in tomorrow and see how we go

[VNracer34G]

Haha into the new toy already mate.

Front exterior door handles with locks and ignition barrell with two keys in the box and on there way to you in the morning. Getting sick of climbing over the back seat yet mate

[delcowizzid]

haha man you spamming my thread with my sticker design smit did for me hehe. wonder if he sees his work in here.yeah im over having to unlock the doors from the boot will be nice to just walk up to the door and open it thats for sure cheers mate and now i can get the central locking working again havnt bothered finding out why it doesnt go yet.i thought the fuse may be pulled cause the doors were unlocking by themselves with the damage there was to the locks and one jammed half locked dunno maybe it doesnt have central locking surely it should it has electric windows LOL.just got then new injectors all out the vr manifold ready to install i hope that fixes my idle its stressfull driving in traffic with a car that feels like it could stop at any moment and cause the biggest traffic jam ive ever been the cause of LOL.got me some rust killer and some primer and some underseal so ready for bit of a tidy up so it can go for a fresh WOF then ill be laughing.must go veiw my logs of aldl from today and see what i can spot

[immortality]

doesn't look to bad wizzid. let the fun begin

looks like you need a 2.5" zorst and maybe a VT style Clubsport front bar to go on it. just so happens i just happen to have these lying around

[delcowizzid]

oh do you now how much for the front bar might need it to fit the cooler into some free air exhaust is it wagon version or sedan plymoth has a sedan one 2.5 inch jobby there but ill want 3" in the end anyway when the turbo goes on. was just veiwing my aldl logs from today and found the iac at 165 steps think i found some of my idle quality issues hopefully vn racer got my email and sends me a spare in case its totally dead i did see it move once.

[immortality]

i might have a spare IAC floating around if you need it.

sure we can figure something out for the front bar.

here's a pic

[delcowizzid]

now i just need to talk myself into the front bar being a performance mod HMMMM

[immortality]

i'll leave it sitting around for a while yet. when i eventually get motivated i might put it on trademe.

it needs a few minor repairs. nothing a bit ofbog and paint can't fix

[delcowizzid]

hmm maybe ill have to take it if you can store it till i come to do plymoths car I will have to find the rest of a kit now LOL be a bit silly without the sideskirts at the least.

[immortality]

i think i have one skirt somewhere. the other one was to ****ed from the accident. i can keep it sitting aorund till your ready for it

[delcowizzid]

well VR injectors in ran worse for a start cleaned TB was better tried a different ecu pretty much fixed the idle but its still cutting in and out at WOT backfires in the intake a little you can hear it .allso fitted the TV cable on the right pin on the TB made it drive a lot nicer it was attached to the cruise control pin for some silly reason LOL.shes getting better the balancer is a little soft can turn it left and right easy might track another down.new leads coming too im wondering if one of the series 2 coils is a bit dicky will refit s1 pack tomorrow and see.looks like i need one strut mount rubber on the drivers side shes cracked pretty bad apart from that its starting to drive like a dream now .also couldnt get the o2 sensor bung out stupid vn manifolds are allways a pita to get them out of VP they just undo but not the steel vn ones allways an effort last one i did i had to pull the whole manifold out need an allen key socket might get it that way

[delcowizzid]

thanks too vnracer34g i now have new door handles with working locks and a matching keyed ignition barrel wooot slap them in tomorrow and ill be laughing sucks having to open the boot and crawl in to unlock a back door then open that then unlock the drivers door tried for a 3rd time to remove the o2 sensor bung grrrrr had a foot long ring spanner on the allen key just about popping my foofoo valve and she still didnt budge think ill be off to the workshop down thje road tomorrow to use there allen key sockets and rattlegun the bugger out

[immortality]

best way to get the bung out is to heat the pipe fitting it's in, then spray with CRC 5.56. the heat draws the CRC into the threads and hopefully loosening it.

[delcowizzid]

hmm the only way i can heat it is driving LOL might give it a go the last one i had to take the manifold off and weld the allen key in and bash crap out of it to even budge it

[delcowizzid]

more parts this should make it go better when i get the other pieces to go with it LOL

[plymouth_hemi_69]

hey mate come up here and use my allen key set they made for a rachet or you can use my rattle gun lol long way to drive. jsut need to put some muscle into it
