The brake hose still hasn't turned up, been a over a week now. Ordered it from micksgarage.co.uk, but turns out the items are based in Ireland with micksgarage.ie, and in thier T&C thier 2-day delivery doesn't apply to UK orders so it could take a couple of weeks
Why do they have a separate UK website, with prices in GB£, advertising 2day shipping on all orders then?
Ordered a new brakehose from livingstonautoparts.co.uk with 48hour delivery, fingers crossed the brakehose is actually in the UK to start with.
Finally started work on the fuel rail. It's from a cga3, with the later-style top-feed SR20 292cc injectors. Plugged into the rail with the SR retainers with no problem, fitting the cg intake mani needs a little work, 15mm collars are needed I believe.
Removed the cga fpr. Ideally this would need to flow much more to lower the pressure while off boost(which I estimate would kick-in around 3000rpm), I think filing, or removing the gold nipple would allow for this.
The plan is then to fit a fmu, but they're not exactly adjustable so it's a bit hit or miss regarding the ratio, and possibly an adjustable fpr to allow for some scope, I guess it's like franks custom vacuume advance rrfpr but just independent and in a series.
Got the front arb out, painted over the quite heavily scratched parts, will reinstall soon, will be interesting to see what it's like again. I thought it was better without when I removed it, improved grip in corners, especially over bumpy ground and less understeer in the wet. And now I'm being made to put it back on!
Wishbone should hopefully be getting welded back into place by frank.
And I'm currently searching for guides on how to align the headlight beam.
