Beautiful looking car

[chubbs]

So been running on e85 for the past few weeks and i have to say i love it! at first i had a few issues with my fueling, i had to double O ring my DW65c fuel pump to hold fuel pressure. and on the dyno i still had some p100 in the tank causing it to run lean, the ecu was adding 25% more on idle to compensate. i purchased a tactrix cable and did some logging for matt and after some maf scaling we have got it running good love the low down torque puts a smile on my dial everytime. Thanks to Matt for his consistent help. Also thanks to Brain (Brainy), Justin (Jaydece) and Owen for your help and support too.

UPDATE:

No major updates at the moment ive has issues more than anything. Over the last few weeks ive wanted to torch the car. Came back from a holiday over the long easter weekend and notice a coolant leak coming from the top tank of the radiator i managed to source a new radiator the same price as getting the top tank replaced thanks to Owen replaced the hoses while i was at it.

Currently have signs of a boost leak somewhere, i have searched the engine bay multiple times with no luck. will be on the hunt for it sometime this week when i have free time. Also did an oil change the other day and noticed i was loosing oil, checked the sump and found oil leaking from the sump plug. got a new sump plug and washer but still continued to leak. Took it to a mechanic to see if the could re-thread the sump but they had no luck. they managed to get a tap in it without leaking so its fixed the problem for now but it shits me knowing its buggered so time for a new sump. Ive been thinking about the Killer B sump and if i replace the sump ill do the oil pickup while im there.

I'd like to help you with the boost leak issue. Get the car on stands do a cold start zorst leak test with the soapy spray, move onto same in engine bay, then log it wilst spraying carb cleaner in engine bay. That covers it up to doing a smoke test. And I want to make one of those too.
