So, I put it off, procrastinated and generally did anything but sort my van.
I knew what had to be done but had no mojo
so Friday, short day at work, I had a word with myself.... sort your fucking van out.
All in, must have taken about 25 minutes tops and it went so well, I dunno what I was thinking.
Pull front panel off and into service mode
fire up lappy, 12233, set adaption back to stock on the pump
slacken bolts on the pump lid, set the lappy monitoring measuring block 15 - looking for 3-5 ideally 4
hit pump with hammer, peer at lappy screen through window, hit pump again
3.8 - 4.0
tighten pump bolts
quick check on timing
turn off lappy, rad back and panel on.
running lovely, contemplated making a video of it running spot on just to annoy Tommy P, CBA.
Then I washed it and realised the paint is flat and horrible and feels like wet and dry
polished os wing, shoulder crying in agony, gave up.

Anybody want to see a vid of my van running loooooovely cracking the enigma code of the hammer mod is so satisfying, despite going against the grain of hitting things with a hammer .

Meanwhile, after driving a stock AJT 88bhp - I realised how much livelier my van is, you get used to the power. It has been in Tuning Lab for a week, hopefully pick it up this weekend, then I can put the new wheels on and maybe some more lows...

First proper drive today, accidentally cut up a cooper S on a mini roundabout, he was sat at the roundabout on my right as I approached, he sat there and sat there so I thought, sod this, I'm going....as I took off so did he - typical.
I just gave it a big load of pedal, the inside front lit up and howled like a 80's us cop car chase, and I probably filled him in fair with soot.
Then he just tailgated me as we left town onto tight B roads, 80+ wouldn't shake him and I had to keep slowing too much to get round corners so he had the edge there. After a mile or 3 he backed of as it was getting a bit silly.
Anyway, boost is back at the 1.2 bar requested by the mapper, the diff is starting to whine a bit and coolant light came on, I was loosing coolant before I did the cambelt and that was verified as the water pump, so hopefully it was just air getting burped out of the system due to spirited driving. Best book it back on the dyno, poor boys my wheels and fit them, claybar the paint, fit the 5" springs and finish the a pillar trimming.....in time for 'pod.
Yes Kev, I have the requisite wanky beard, man bag and twatty shoes for the 5" faulkners.
