Howdy all,
we've made some slow progress lately, my laptop haemorrhaged so haven't been able to post any new pics (I'm on my work pc at the moment).
Basically its got all the bits on it to make it go, stop and handle well, it's just a case of finishing things off. Going from the pissy little series 2 brakes to the series 6 units means that the stock brake master cylinder isn't up to the task (have to press the brake pedal full travel to lock up). A mazda 929 unit should bolt up and provide enough volume, just got to get a hold of one.
The motor that's in the car now has only been started a few times, but it appears that it is smoking from both banks. I'm not sure whether the engine buggered, as its supposed to have done less than 100,000km, or whether because we've got the 250cc injectors running on the crown (215cc) ecu, it's running rich and getting bore wash... what do you all think?
We haven't had a chance to run it up to temperature under load (need the brakes sorted first) and have disconnected the cold start injector, so I'm not too sure whether this 1uz is a dud or whether the ECU just needs time to learn...
what are your thoughts?
