took it out for a little drive didnt go stupid ,but it has decided it doesnt like the belt

thats problem no 1 ,the next problem is because the charger sits so close to the power steering reservior its rubbing on it and is causing it to leak :swear:,so that needs addressing before i drive it anywhere.

i only took it for drive for about a mile but god does it sound awesome ,the power is unbelivable deffo big grin factor drool.gif

been in talks with the local vauxhall tuners ,and the s/c pulley is out by 2.5 mm so its took a bash at some point either in transit from the states or when it was removed from the car .
will be getting a 2.5 mm shim made up to put between the pulley and shaft ,that will line the belt run up

heres a little video ignore the bit between 33secs and 1 min 10 sec lol

Man that thing looks sharp, wish they imported those here. Congrats on fitting everything in, definitely looks like a squeeze.

If you don't walk away with a couple cuts or scrapes then you weren't working on a car :lol:
