Exactly... Kidnapped my very own Dent Doctor. No more dents for me.
I can deliver him to you if needed, I gagged him since and my whip makes him work hard. We can talk in PM. :fencelook:

Yeah.... between these jokes of Stekkies in my boot and now Leonard taking in hard in the back of my boot. Jezebel will never be the same...

Car was delivered for rectification of vanos.
For some time now the car has moments where it performs properly and then it dies.
Last night it was absolutely and without a shadow of a doubt torn apart by 4piper by some 4 000 000 car lengths.
We are suspecting a solenoid or valve block issue.
We have also drilled the oil pump disc (with a spare matching hub) in anticipation of the vanos coming off so that will complete all the preventative work.
Valve clearances will be reset and if all this does not fix the current performance issues I am buying a bigger hammer.

A valid question to which I can only imagine the answer to be that I did not use enough silicone and cable ties.
I am most mindfull of that and this time around I am outfitting myself with 4 tubes of silicone and 5 packets of cable ties and for extra comfort I will buy 100 self tapping screws to complete the vanos assembly.

Yes, it's true, she's not as powerful as she used to be, but remember, before she went to Peter, her engine was run in and piston rings were sealed.
Since the rebuild, we've dropped compression on her. She no longer runs 11:5:1 compression. Also, the piston rings have not seated yet. Chrome Moly rings need at least 5000km before they start sealing. Our compression test shows all cylinders are down on compression. The car has only done 3000km since the engine rebuild. So, last night was a nice test to see where we sit with a motor built for boost that has no software. I'm patient and thoroughly enjoyed my races last night. I haven't driven her like that in a good 11 months, if not longer.
That being said, after dynoi'ng the car, we've discovered a massive dip in torque at 3200rpm. Almost 40nm dip. Also, max torque is 270, as opposed to +-300nm that we used to have.
We keep getting intermittent Vanos codes when we read the car using INPA or DIS. One of the codes we keep getting is a code 95. This is a code I was getting even before the Engine Rebuild. Code Error 95 is Vanos inlet adaptation. This means the inlet cam does not advance, so, once I hit +-4000rpm, the inlet cam is retarded. It should be advancing but it isn't. So, I lose top end power. (Peter can give a better explanation of this).
So, to save us a massive headache. Peter will be replacing pretty much the ENTIRE Vanos unit. It's up to him. So, I'll let him update from here and we can start testing again.
More to come...

No no....the TRUE reason for jezebel to run away from super cars is because the oil droplets from sump was sneaky/clever modification by Chris himself. The supercars would spin in the droplets (thinking their ride is so powerful) and jezebel pulled away. haha :roflol:
Lol jokes aside:
I hope you get her fixed man. The fact the your compression is dropped will have an impact on your power. But I believe you dropped the compression for the supercharger right?
Ya and I remember you had that vanos error for a long time.
Anyway...keep us posted!

Goodluck with the Vanos, my credit-card is still sobbing quietly in the corner. Hope she is well soon enough.
