:thumbs: well, i dont drive my car much these days because of my current job, i tend to drive around in my company car, which is doing wonders for the getting highish mileage on the silva, anyways i seem to have developed a miss fire of the last month, gradually getting worse, so i though id take a look this weekend expecting to replace the spark plugs or maybe a coil pack, :no:
I takes the coil pack cover off to find a small puddle of rain water, nothing tragic i get the air line and blows it out, takes the coil packs out and find s that actually, every spark plug chamber is full to the brim with water, all thanks to my loverly carbon vented bonnet! so now i gotta devise a guttering system to stop the water but something that doesnt look gash!:annoyed:
still at least it seems to be nothing terminal, gonna try out some nology silver plugs, see how they cope, i usually use denso's but at ?50 a shot and replacing every 3 months its geting expensive:thumbs:
also have settled to gettng a gt2871r, which i think i have sourced, so i took the told gt28bb out today, not bad nick for 77k, its got about 1mm of play left and right back and forth nothing major:thumbs: but i did find the elbow was lose though no signs of blowing and lost one of the nuts:wack: do we know yet which elbows fit and which dont?
started to plumb in the power fc djetro, and my nice new gauges
and tomorrow pick up the z32 rear backing plates to complete my conversion
its all coming along nicely:thumbs:
im away all week but ill post some pics on the weekend, hopefully my friend james is coming over to show me how lol
i found a place that carbon wraps just about anything and with real carbon, looks the nads, so gonna get some prices i dont think its cheap but gonna ling up my engine bay:thumbs:
taken the wheels off today too, gonna get some new ones though im not sure i like what ive bought lol shall see them on i spose when they come in
