Subaru STi in for an intermittent management light and loss of power on acceleration. The intercooler temp sensor was hanging off because it was missing its retaining clip. That sorted the light issue but it went no better. Narrowed it down to a fuel pump issue so an upgraded one was ordered. Once removed from inside the tank things were pretty obvious. The internal hose had decomposed in the fuel turning pretty much to mush... 🤔 Seen this a few times now. Im wondering if its the crappy additives they're putting in the fuel now. The car had been laid for a while, maybe with some E10 in the tank. The hose was obviously sorted out and the new fuel pump was fitted for good measure. Car is now flying. All that's needed now are some ear plugs.... lol 😀😀😀

RS Turbo all sorted and ready to head back to its owner. A tricky one this but all good now. First issue of cutting out was simply an over boost protection. Marginal, so hard to replicate every time. The series one has a lower threshold than the series two. It will allow a few overboosts then it will have no more and simply cuts the ignition every time it goes on boost. Ignition timing was about 6 degrees re****ed which would definitely kill the performance. An adjustment was also made to the control pressure to help with cold starting and full boost performance with a final CO set up.
Had to change the cold start idle valve which was sticking causing erratic idle issues. There was also an issue with not starting first time when cold. It certainly feels much better now, but welcome to the 1980s. Not a case of leaning in the window and just turning the key. We've got a cold start injector that sprays neat fuel into the inlet to fire it up. It really needs a bit of throttle / rev to clear out that fuel before it will be happy to idle.
An absolute beauty of an RS Turbo. Well minted. 👌👌👌

I'm converted. I genuinely was never really a believer in detailing thinking a good polish was enough, however the guys at Zoldani Auto Salon have absolutely transformed the Evo, removing my 26 years of washing it with a brush and sponge 😳😳
I now have been given a 5 stage washing regime 🫨
If any of your cars paintwork is looking like it needs a lift these are the guys.
Many thanks for the hard work to all involved. 👌
Give these guys a follow 👍

Had this Trevor Chimera in today for an oil and filter and levels check. Also a handbrake issue, now there's a surprise. Try as we might it was difficult to improve on it. On observation it's like a ratio issue between handbrake and caliper. As the handbrake ratchet jumps over the pawl, its like its too deep and as it locks back into the tooth it has released the caliper lever too far, however there's no way you can pull it an extra notch. The answer really would be a finer handbrake lever ratchet. It ends up being a balancing act of cable adjustment. It's better, but not award winning that's for sure 😢
Looks like it will be back for exhaust manifold gaskets. One was slightly chuffing on test and worse by the end. I think I gave it a bit of a fright 🤔

RS Turbo Time.

Another resonably quiet CVH in for a sort out. Messed about with by too many people as usual. Apparently one garage worked on it for two weeks 😀😀😀
Two to four hours is all thats required. Two to undo all the f**k ups and two to set it up completely. A bit of a cracker this one. More later.

Slowly getting this Lotus back to how it should be. Steering was very heavy when turning right. No power steering so we decided the rack was to blame. Not too straight forward though as the only reasonable way to do it is to send it to be overhauled. Well worth the wait though as it has transformed the car. A change of thermostat and coolant was also requested. We carried out the antifreeze and coolant with a vacuum refill. The only way realistically to get it from front to back.
Given how hot these things get in the engine compartment it was felt that a turbo blanket would be a worthwhile addition..

This car is in incredible nick for it's age and mileage. Back with the customer now 👌Hopefully he will feel a big difference 🤞

Finished off this week with a service and a couple of other bits and pieces on this superb Mk1 Focus RS.
A well tidy car externally and underneath. Pulls like a train too. Forgot to photograph this before the owner arrived to collect it so just grabbed a few quick ones.

Another one about to head home. Awesome car in phenominal condition. (Find another one ) Timing belt, water pump and front cam and crankshaft seals done. Radiator back in and along with fresh antifreeze. Rear gearbox seal done too. The last owner thought a load of grease stuffed in around the seal might help but it didnt.
Running a 330bhp Cosworth engine attached to the T5 gearbox. Complete conversion carried out by ourselves about 9 years ago, and you know what, it still drives as good as it did then. Not you're usual rattle box. Even a long drive in it wouldn't be unsettling.
A very lucky chappy to have got a hold of this one 👌
