Title: The Faff is back on the road!!!!!! Whoopeee
Post by: paul_gt4 on November 22, 2008, 06:24:38 pm
Well after a whole load of dilemma's with parts not coming on time and Andrew not being able to map the car because of other customer commitments in Dubai!!!! My car fired up to life early on tues morning of this week and Steven (Spud) took it and done the first 150miles, there was a little niggle with stalling down low in the rev range in the low gears whilst in traffic, but thats being looked at on monday morning coming and then i'm collecting it in the afternoon. Well i was about Lisburn today with bazza and we dropped in and i took the car a run, even after stalling it twice because of the heavy new clutch i wasn't used to, it still gave me the biggest smile in the world........ i'll be hoping too get the car mapped in the coming weeks to get to use the full power its capable of....... i'll get new pics of the engine bay soon.

Roll on monday whoopee!!!!!

Went up there today and momentum had a few other things on the shelves and i took a liking to them so they're going to be fitted before collection on monday so i'll do the pics when i get her home. Hopefully i'll have the time then to get them uploaded. Probably not as i'll be out doing the miles, making up for lost time.

Well more good news, as people know the car failed on loose springs on the front two coilovers on monday morning, i adjusted them on tuesday and booked the retest yesterday and the car sailed through today at 1pm so smiles all round here. Went then and sorted the tax so the car is fully legit as of today. Heading to Lisburn tomorrow to do the 500 mile service at momentum and then on sunday heading to Antrim for the Toyota Meet so that should take me to well over 700 by the end of the weekend. If i'm lucky i could have her mapped right at the begining of next year.

I knew it was a good thing buying that faff!!!!! i'm getting so many was it you? on other forums with all the good comments its made the wait worth its while. BTW i haven't forgot about pics its the weather is serious wet over atm and i'm always on the go, so i'll get them done probably at the toyota meet this sunday
