Talking Back in business!!!

After a long break I managed to fix some minor problems that kept the car from running. Yesterday it was running rather ok (though a bit rich causing way too many backfires and bad throttle response), right untill it started getting too hot, after which I turned it off. Since the fan isn't mounted very good (too much distance between fan and rad) cooling is not good, which makes it impossible to run for long. Nothing I can't fix though, so I'll do that when I have time and weather is good. Maybe I'll try to make a shroud first, if that works it'd be way easier, since clearances are tight.
Today I couldn't get the engine running all that well. I was a bit confused, but it turned out that by resetting the parameters to Wolf's supplied maps (I'm mainly using settings from another car with simular setup) it was running way better. Throtlle respons was very good even with a cold engine. So: I'm back in business!
Now I'm this far, it's time to start cleaning up: oil leaks and water everywhere have made stains and dirt. The whole interior is covered in electrical parts...
First thing now is to fix the cooling, then I'll clean up and re-wire some parts.
It still starts difficult though, since there's no choke or anything (removed BAC etc).
It'll be a summer car anyway

as long as nothing changes there's not much point in pictures, is it? expect them this winter, as more mods are planned then (mainly cosmetic, so pics will make sense )

Yeah, I can follow your thinking, first spend money on the car, then perhaps later some money will be left over for a camera..
