VECTRA C 2.2 TURBO SRI 16VALVE 250/60BHP (rolling road to let me know soon)

corsaZ22se

some good news for you dave, I've swapped the silver seat belts in my corsa now, so I've got the full set ready for you along with 2x front seat base's. (just removed the back rest)

Dave_Gilbert

I had a good hour or so on the vectra earlier, taken lots of pictures but my wank phone will only let me upload 1 picture at a time and my wank laptop wont even let me on the site(redirect loop, cleared all cookies n history but still no joy).

So I will explain what iv done.

manicat off.
inlet manifold off
EGR blanked
injector rail off.
airbox top checked to see if a z20net top fits on z22se airbox bottom (it does)
Aircon pump pipe adjusted(bent out my ffff ing way)
Alloy boost pipe fitted under sump.

Inlet manifold gasket fitted.

so for tomorrow, drill head for pcv mod(same as @[deleted]) cheers to @[deleted] for explaining it to me.

Reset ECU and remove wireing loom.
Then fit NET inlet manifold
NET exhaust manifold/turbo and cat.
swap thermostat housing for modified housing thanks to @[deleted].

That should do for tomorrow but got to wait untill monday to collect the rocker cover so its going to be wednesday untill its anywhere near ready.

Building today?

Dave_Gilbert

Yeh mate, just doing the pcv mod now but I need to go get a sharp 10mm drill bit.

then inlet manifolds going on

Dave_Gilbert

Pcv mod done
inlet manifold fitted
throttle body fitted
All intercooler pipes fitted(I dont like the saab throttle body pipe, it doesnt fit as well as the vauxhall 1 would I dont think)

A few pipes fitted on inlet manifold.

I cant find where the dip stick tube bolts for some reason, maybe iv got a bracket missing.

gonna crack on with the ecu reset and loom removal first thing in the morning and start doing the turbo pipe work and drop the coolant.

Yeah, but that's a quick way for an extra 50bhp!

Try loading the site in an Incognito tab. That will mean there are no previous cookies or cache stored. I'm having an issue on my own laptop in Firefox, but not in Chrome. It's really strange why it's happening like this. I've looked in Google analytics, and I can see we are down around 200 visitors a day since I did the change. I'm still trying to fix it.

Matt

I think I've fixed the redirect loop issue just now!

Dave_Gilbert

Iv got the same issue, firefox is fine but chrome is having non of it. I need to re image anyway so I will see from there. Iv got popups everywhere n its running rate slow so time to have clear out.

I've spent most of the weekend reinstalling win 7 on my PC. Got a second hand graphics card to uprate it and when it updated the driver it caused havoc. Found out that loads of people had suffered the same issue. Couldn't roll back the driver or nothing just blue screen managed to save almost all of the data but lost all my emails and saved passwords etc. Glad the build is coming along @[deleted] hope you get it finished soon.

That's the reason I now use gmail on my own domain for my own e-mails, as everything stays on there. I also have my passwords saved in the browser which is synced on their servers.

HarleyPete

Fair point, last time this happened I managed to back them both up but this time, well, I was so annoyed that I forgot. Fortunately, I have a program called Keypass which is really useful and you can get a mobile version of it for all my passwords. I have my own domain as well, but I don't leave a copy on the servers, I would think that if I did I would have filled whatever space I have available after all this time (quite a few years now). I don't like all this cloud stuff, although I have a Dopbox account I always keep a backup of whatever I put in there and nothing I don't want to loose. I'm just a little OCD with keeping certain emails that I may need for proof etc.
