Mapping?

Yep after 3 years of messing about getting parts it’s finally getting the emerald fitted
That Alun bloke has too many cheats under his bonnet so I’m trying to keep up with him

Good move, you are going to the right guy!

Had the 14 cux sorted a couple of years ago with a 20 am air meter got 325bhp out of it and sorted some issues out and has run like a switch watch ever since

Is that a Swatch watch, or a Swiss watch?
Not that it matters.....
Happy Christmas.

. Finished the plumbing, just need to sort out the wiring now. I might get to Caldwell if I get my finger out. Hopefully it's a hot day to give it a really good test.

[phazed]

WTF!

Sorry, what are those lovely lines for?

[trev4]

Little bit of cabin cooling for those really hot summer days. According to my friendly air conditioning guy it will work a treat. Time will tell.

[trev4]

I wanted to keep the engine bay free from pipework. The only difference you can see is the compressor.

[QBee]

The blue and red nozzles are where you connect the aircon machine to re-gas it, I think

[phazed]

I look forward to hearing about the results.

Just waiting to hear that it sounds the horn every time the aircon switches on....

Ha Ha, I'm am being supervised on the wiring so that should be ok, we are going to run one fan when the air conditioning comes on and both will run when the engine comes up to temperature. I hope it works my better half wants to go back to lake Como this year.

A modification to the rear cubby hole. I needed somewhere safe for my iPod

That is a super neat idea and well made.

All your own work Bob?

Yup, old base used as the lid, I had some green leatherette in stock to make up the new base and cover the back of the lid. A couple of short lengths on aluminium tube salvaged some time ago for the hinge and front support. I had the iPod in the front centre cubby hole but I was worried that the heat from the two heater vents in there would do harm to it

Very nice too!

I used to keep my phone in the centre cubbyhole until it switched it self off due to the heat!

Nice one Bob, because it keeps the phone out of sight and stops me hearing when the wife phones asking how long it takes a man in a TVR to buy a pint of milk.

I went for this piece of 3D printing a while back:



It holds a (*visible) iphone, a pen and two water bottles/coffee cups/cans

Good idea for this usually useless bit of space Peter I've never lost a phone leaving it in the door no heat etc and you tend to not forget it as its in sight leaving the car I suggest using the space near the window switches to keep your Big Mac warm till your ready to indulge

Had a bang noise from the diff so I opened the van of worms
1 stripped out the diff and the rest of the stuff that gets in the way
Dropped diff off in Blackpool for a refresher
Replacement of tray bobbins old ones must have been 20 years old
Cleaned the pipe as it was caked in diff oil
Replaced fuel pipes on tank/ pump and return to tank
Picked diff back up from Blackpool
Now looking good and feels smoooth
Hopefully get the new pollys for the diff mounts Tuesday and it can all go back together ready for kicking Alun’s arce at the pod at the end of the month
