How does it bloody DRIVE!?
Waiting for the thermostat to open. Increased the revs to 1000rpm on the hand throttle.
WHISTLEEEEeeeeeeeeeee!
Funny story.
Walking to the car keys in hand to drive it. Spotted the bottom of the Oil Bucket still sitting under the car!! 12lt of dirty oil!!! That would have sucked! The Omen. I saw it, it was good!
Let's go for a drive!
Waiting......
Ok I'm back.
Just a little drive. I got out a few times to lift the bonnet. A little bit of smoke from stuff burning the crap off.
Playing with the boost controller to find its range and I think it's about 22psi now. The cut off dump pipe is very close the the clutch line and I gave it a fair go from a rolling start in second and it pulls well. Much more lively than before. Boosting from low it's a bit boggy like the other one but I don't have a pyro and don't know what my EGTs were but when I went to pull up I had no clutch!! I think I just cooked the fluid in the line close to the dump though. A couple of pumps and it was back.
Called it a day. I'll limp it into the exhaust shop tomorrow before giving it another push.
I did a U turn and did a standing start. At take off the whole car stands up!!! Not just lifting the front left! All 4 wheels seemed to want to lift!! No shit! Like it was in a crouch then stood on takeoff!
It's no race car but I think this thing is going to be a towing beast!
Awesome, no leaks or anything?Quote:

So you're still using the factory cooler ?
Awesome Darren

So I bought premixed coolant and there I was at the end of emptying the first 5lts of coolant into the radiator. I noted it was pretty thick. Slowly going in I read the label upside down and it was bloody concentrate! WTF?? Damn it. Off with the bottom hose and got most of it out then mixed it 50-50 and refilled.
Turned the key was awesome. Bled the coolant for about 20mimutes.
Happy days!!

How does it sound just blowing straight out the dump?
