Making of a Mk1.6 (slowly)

[vashy]

nice one!!!

Have you got it to run again? Do you think it was just too rich and choked itself when it started to warm up?

Now you just have to get it to run for long enough to start playing with the all the knobs and buttons on the laptop and see what they do

[LimeyMk1]

I don't think it even got the chance to warm up, as it turns out I'm going to have to run it wasted spark and batch fire on the injectors due to the stock cam sensor sytstem being incompatible with the DTA (and probably every other standalone out there). Ba$tard Toyota.

Some easy tweeks on the programming for that and I may be asking Andy to pop back for another go at burning the front bumper of Cassi's Mk2 off.

Throttles are letting a bit too much air through though.

Exhaust sounds perfect for a trackday

[toxo]

My ears!!

[LimeyMk1]

I'm hoping it's not going to be too loud for trackdays.

Next job balance ITBs and do coolant.

[Charged]

Sounds amazing!! Well done Chris, really pleased, I had a big grin on my face wataching/listening to that!

[vashy]

I like the way it sometimes makes more noises even after you turn it off. It's like it doesn't want to die. Chris you've built a monster

Cheers Tim. Nothing booked yet, I imagine the emissions may be slightly out of spec.

Thanks for all your help over the weekend Vash.

I have that problem every year...

Shirley you don't need to comply though?

I need to comply with the emissions limits set for cars of the Mk1s age. Fortunately not for something like an RX300 that the engine came from.

Surely the only reason for an emissions fail would be the tester putting is probe to deep. I find the results are a lot better if just the tip is inserted, or even the device just waved in the cloud of noxious exhaust fumes!

Not sure if VOSA would approve! Can't beat petrol headed testers though

Some people prefer it deep, some like just the tip, personal preference really

[Leon.]

I was on your wavelength too
