gives it that rough and ready look

This is all back together now and its back to the cranking but not firing problem

Messed about with some flip paint

Still chipping away at this, lots of small jobs to do before all the big stuff can be done for final

The results of trying out the flip paint

We have a runner

Well done

Had a look through my pics and found one of the engine code, its not an ABF but an ACE which is an audi variant of the 9a corrado short block 2l

Slightly better than the 9A as it has the same head as an ABF (rather than the KR). Slightly worse than an ABF due to milder cams.

Thats good news,

we looked at the cams and its stamped 027 which i think is kr so it should produce 150 according to online talk

Tuning beyond that is probably on the expensive side so will have to wait a year or two

kieran, focus on getting her all road legal 1st buddy, enjoy the driving her around for a while then see what plans arise. you have been at this for quite a while now, looking forward to cruising around with ya again.

Quick pic from a while back of the new tank before it went in

Foamed the top with sound deadening foam

Replaced the oil cooler too. Need to do the south african cluch kit too really whilt theres more room in the bay

Still working in this, the kr loom is out as it was 10" to long at the bulk head which isnt a huge problem but the rocco 16v loom is obviously a perfect fit

Currently runing lumpy with a low idle and a max of 3k on the revs so will look that over

On a plus i drove it out and back in the garage for the first time the other day

dizzy fouls, should be able to rotate it but there are only 2 positions to bolt it in
[
had to use a flat brake res cap as the induction arm sits on it and the coolent hose wants to go through it at the mo

you could use a remote reservoir like on crusty and shanes car
i actually have a load of the rubber reservior pipework left over if your interested?

Ive got 2 options im looking at, 9" servo with 16v res and normal dizzy or std 8v res no fluid sensor and a 45° dizzy for clearance

Im trying to keep it looking as factory as possible

Phone doesnt seem to pick up the lower notes so sounds tappy

Got this running on a kr loom, not resolved the brake res / dizzy situation yet
