I was thinking of the same thing. Just end that dead end a little sooner with a curve.

. but I guess it will be a rather long tripp.
I live in Moelv its a small town 2 hours drive north of Oslo.

after sleeping on it. I got in the workshop today and pulled the efi harness, there are som wires that needs changing but not much.
the stock harness need changing at least from the backseet to the engine, not sure in front thoe, but I did have to change the ignition switch cos it melted.

That is not too long! Just PM me if you want me to take a weekend trip

If you got all the material a couple of nights should do the trick! Don't leave the poor turboengine hanging!!!

And put a fuse on that wire, very strange that there is no fuse from the factory!!

That lack-of-fuse has killed more bugs than almost anything else...

remember to always use fuses because 22 rifle bullets dont make good substitutes

well, her is a update.
I tok some time off and fixed the eletrical harness. then took it for a ride, after a mile (metric mile) a ugly rattlesound appeared, turns out to be a broken valve spring

on cyl no.4 inntake. fixed that earlier this week.
yesterday I took it for another spin, and after 3 miles another sound appear

. stopped at once and discovered that I had almost no oil left, probably due to exessive crankcase pressure pushing it thru one of the pushrod tubes

result: cam loobe on no.3 exhaust was grinded.

so Jonas, yes I actually need som help on this one

changing the cam. I'l PM you...

her is a couple of pict of the car just before the last failure.

Looks almost as a stock engine from the outside!

Nice and stealthy

edit. I haven't recived any PM!

took the motor out yesterday. turns out it's not the cam after all. it's another valvespring

. lott less work and the car should be on the road again in a couple of weeks

any ideas why the springs are cracking/sagging other than beeing old, they are not bottoming

That good news, sounds like it would be worth swapping them all out this time.

What make of springs are they? Just how old are they? Sounds like you need an uprated set.

They arent stock springs, are they?

Jake always insists that the stock springs, keepers, and retainers should be uprated even on stock engines.
