DIrtyTorque's odd corner.

Err if you've started it yes I'll have a play, if not then don't worry about it. I'm pretty convinced these ISV's always allow some bleed regardless so I'll fit a one way valve and test for leaks elsewhere.

Started first time no fuss no leaks and sounded angry(No exhaust on at the mo need to sort something out with that.)
idled great too.
Just changed the displacement from 1984 to 2008 cc's in MS and it re-calculated a new required_fuel number and that was it.

You drove it without an exhaust!

nah,it's still on axel stands.
Need to bleed the wilwoods first get an exhaust on and then tax it.
Got to fit a new carpet in the bedroom and landing this week though after a slight flooding incident.
Me day dreaming in the morning 4got I had the bathroom sink tap running.

It's been 4 days what going on?

i've blown it up and sold it for parts.

I'm cobbling together an exhaust.

Cobble quicker!

This is pissing me off.Not ideal doing this sort of thing on the floor.
Few more hurdles to overcome.Some mocking up pics.

Where did you get you flanges(hehe) from?

ojzengineering.co.uk.
They even made me some adapters as my pipe was too small for their flange.

I nearly spat my tea at the laptop when I read that! hahaha

That's good of them though. Local?

All I know is that they are uk based.
I ordered on Monday arrived on Wednesday.

Woah! Looks like a serious effort! Your definitely committed!

interesting use of words.
It is certainly driving me mad.

I should of done this when the engine was out.

Sorry, maybe a bad choice of words. I am quite amazed at your will to do things yourself. Wow!

zaust not going well.
The cat back combo i took a punt on is not a very good fit to start with.
Sulking now.
rain not helping.
That is all.

I thought your car was in a garage? Or is it on the driveway for this operation?

What make is the CAT back combo?

it's a decent size garage but for this kind of thing it is a bit cramped.
As i'm wanting to get around the car,then do cutting and welding etc.
I need elbow room and i'm getting chubby.


its a scorpion.Well part of it was.Not convinced ot's for a corrado though.

Are you thinking of just buying a new one? Miltek. etc?

there is a guy on edition with a miltek for a corrado vr6
So that should be ok for mine as mine is a late g60?!??

Then I'll just need to extend it slightly.

should be fine as it will both car and exhaust will have bar type hangers

Well the guy is in Chelsmford,
2 and a bit hours away.
And I have a bad feeling about him too.
Dunno,just don't like the tone of his PM's
Seem to get a bit short after I asked him to confirm the condition of it,which I did in the nicest possible way.

And I don't fancy all that driving on a saturday.
Might go back into the garage..

Ok bought an exhuast on CF.
Fitted it and then ran the car up to temp.Can't go beyond that at the mo as I have no fan controller in the car.
So i'm flat broke but the end is in sight.
The car moved under it's own steam today.2 ft back into my garage.
lol.

Good to have it moving though?

yes.
Everytime you break it down you worry so it is always nice to start it up abnd check basic functionality.
