He will smell your fear.... But until he comes along, go back to basics. Put your car in the exact position it was in just when it died. You only need 3 things to make her run fuel, a spark at the right time and air. get them and she WILL run. You mentioned that the tiing was 180* out. Did...

Agreed.

Agreed.

Go to the nearest arms depot. Beg, borrow or steal a thermonuclear device. Hide in the north sea. Aim said device at your car. Stand back. Press launch. Voila, plate will be removed from car. As an added bonus what's left of your car will be nice and warm on these cold mornings. Or you could...

Are all the door seals in good nick? Mine have all shrunk. If so, how much?

Funnily enough I just bought a waterproof connector kit from VWP for my shoehorning exercise... Mind you they are only 20 mins up the road from me so if I need anything, I just pop in!

I have nothing useful to add to this thread.

Well saved sir!

How about you go out and try both? Then you can make your own mind up?

I've stuck a 4.6 Gems in my D1 manual. I've got her running but she's not firing on all 8 all the time and she's overfuelling a lot. With my Scantool I can read that one O2 sensor(possibly trim, the scantool doesn't specify) is pulling -5% whilst the other is adding +15%. Suggests to me that I...

Touche Sam :P Thanks Yorevol, I'll have a look.

I've got an Adaptronic waiting to go on complete with all the wiring conversion notes, but I don't want to have to tune a newly built engine, I want to run it in first. Sorry but I still don't like megasquirt, I find it a bit crude.

Far enough away that you can see the tyres of the vehicle infront where they touch the ground, far enough away that you can drive around the vehicle infront should it become suddenly immobile and far enough away that, should your foot slip off the clutch, you don't bunny hop into the car infront.

I'm with Sam on the not bobtailing - You can generally find a way round / over an obstacle that would damage your arse if you're careful... ... maybe I coulda put that better.... I've never seen full length roof rails before, I'm jealous. Can you get them for the D1?

First bit yes, second bit - no. If you can hit the car infront by slipping off the clutch then you are stopping too close! A car will only jump forward a couple of feet before it stalls if you slip off the clutch. If you slip off the brake or brush the accelerator in an auto you could travel a...

A Gems v8 uses titania type sensors - the output is variable resistance. Your sensors should have a red wire.

`Yep, I've had the same many times on my single button V8. Emulators have gone down or dropped channels Pipes have blown off - intake, PCV etc.

I have an ashcroft locker in the rear axle, put simply it's amazing.
