It's alive! :D

[bazzzzer]

what time did it get fired up ???

[justbutts]

wooo hooo :sxoc:


fired up at around 8 pm sat night.

i had an oil leak off the oil feed pipe to the turbo so had to stop for the evening.

thought we were gonna have to crank it for ages to get the fuel down, but as soon as i turned the key it barked back into life :thumbs:

a huge thank you for all those that came and helped i really appreciate it :thumbs:

i went out saturday and got some more copper washers for the turbo oil feed pipe attached them and its not leaking any more:)

i have clocked 370 miles on it in two days, all back or small roads no motor way driving

regards mark:thumbs:

yeah to right but its very frustrating not being able to see what it has to give.

been having a chat with a few of my mates that know about cars and stevey going to run in at 3k for the first 500 miles, oil change and then up the revs abit for the next 500

i have already clocked 370 miles in two nights so its going well so far:D

[Parker]

I'd change the oil before 500 miles, in fact, I'd change it before you drive any more :nod:
