Looking forward to your next post, Barrie

Brimma for Mayor!

Barrie, good to hear things going better now, it looked like " THE NEVER ENDING STORY". Good news. 

Glad you got it sorted in the end.

Thanks Richard. The element of surprise is always fun!

Very nice indeed!

Can't wait to get mine back now my problems have been fully diagnosed and being sorted PDQ.

Yep - know that feeling.  I did the Combe sessions and since then has just been a never ending trying to get to the bottom of the problem.  Might just be getting there now though.

Not currently John. Having only got the car back last weekend I did not want to be too hasty. It was a challenge to get the Combe tickets shifted and didn't want to be in the same situation.

At this time of year I need to check what (if any) holiday allowance I have left too.

I can't believe I've never commented on this thread before.

 

Great project, and a very good sleeper. Even better than your previous Fabia I should imagine

Thank you. Yes, subtle sleeper was always my plan.

Short of the obvious ride height reduction, the rest remains as OEM as possible, whereas the Fabia was a little more...... 'in your face'

A bit more power than the fabia had now isn't it?   Where's the extra come from?

A bit more power than the fabia had now isn't it? Where's the extra come from?

5bhp more than the Fabia had when I sold it, and 102bhp more than the official output when the Roomster left the factory

I'm reserving full judgment and 'final' power until it's been run at JKM at the end of the month.

In short, the hike in power has come from a PD150 hybrid, associated injectors (the ones you sold me), a new cam shaft and lifters as the old ones were a hairs breadth from failing, BFOFMIC, and mapping to suit.

Ah, the Fabia had a stock pd150 didn't it?  I wouldn't be surprised if your current setup is good for a few more horses yet.  I ran 220 on a pd150 hybrid and similar engine setup.

Did you hear that J5 - Jason said to push for more power.  :clap:

The whole process took a fair bit of time for one reason or another.

Unlike you to hide behind an excuse! - It's Christmas soon, ask santa for a new clutch.

Headed down to JKM this morning for a run on their "Heartbreak" rollers......

That is all
