DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

More later, but first - coffee.

I'm running the elephant racing turbo kit on my SWB, came with everything I needed. Lovely stuff.

Oh it’s a delight isn’t it!

So engine in, all easy from here right? Nope. The Motronic loom was in a pretty shitty state but was good enough for the time being to run the motor, so it was loosely run in and by the time I was finished she looked like a test rig of some sort. An oil pressure gauge from a 924 was bought to keep i...

Thanks David, well bit of an update. I bought a noid led kit to test for pulse - which proved we do indeed have a pulse from the DME but very weak - barely lit the noid up. I’ve sent the DME off to a company that can bench test it to see if this weak signal is the fault of the DME itself or somethin...

Evening, So the time came to try and fire up the 3.2 but unfortunately it was an anti climax, the wife put the party poppers away and everything. So the fault finding began. I’ll start at the beginning.... So she cranks, and the following does happen Fuel pump fires up We have spark And then apart f...

Sorry Ollie, I only just saw your comment. I don’t seem to receive email alerts again for some reason, good to see you at the swapmeet though.

Amazing, thanks Nige.

Great stuff thanks Graham.

Hi all,

Had a bit of a play with the concept of the conversion to hydraulic clutch last night. After cutting the throttle cable thing in half thinking it was something it wasn’t I figured just as well try and utilise what was left and ditch that setup altogether in favour of a cable going the whole way.

Hopefully I get to see this car in person one day.

Cheers, hopefully it’ll see daylight soon.

Well the wife usually adopts a glazed expression every time I start talking about any of ‘the old rusty crap’ I play with and Sunday morning was no diffferent. “You can always sell it” is the standard reply. :lol: In hindsight I should have watched some videos first, but instead did my usual gung-ho...

:lol: I suppose it would Last night the wife was out, and our little girl was at her grandparents so that meant an attempt at striking off as many jobs on the list as possible. 1. Sound deadening on firewall - done 2. Fit clutch to engine - done 3. Unite engine with gearbox... Well this is where my ...
