I'm sure Rob would say you have the best of both worlds....looks of the Turbo without all the trouble Cool

And I'd agree with that about Turbos' never had one but I've heard the horror stories!!

The car looks great I'd stick with it and as its had those mods already i wouldn't worry to much about the colour. make it your own, as its been said those early cars are getting a bit rare, well worth getting the job finished

tell you what i have buggerd it up today . tryed to sort thr timing out , took the belt off timed it up and now it runs like poop , and is making ticking noises ,

sorry Stu that post was meant for a different thread don't know how it ended up in here!! my fake porka , Icon_scratch

Anyway back to your thread I suspect your timing is 180 degrees out, thankfully the 2.0l engine is non interference so you can't break anything but I'd guess thats the problem.

If I knew now in 2000 I'd still have my 79 924 to this day ThumbsUp

ye ill have a mess in the morning , i may be using the wrong marks thears more tipx on the flywheel than in the bottle , i foing one that said 0 to i timed it to a dot on the top wheel , but im just guessing , whats the unleaded ignition timing . i have set it at 10 degrees

by **tux** Tue 18 May 2010, 07:50

Don't use the dot on the FRONT of the cam pulley, use the mark on the BACK of it. my fake porka , Icon_wink

ok i have timed this "£$$&%&%& car up as in the photos and its refusing to start , i have moved the dizzy to see if that helps , no joy , however if i time it up to the mark on the front it runs but its noisey and rough , any idias would be usefull as this is my second day on this , grrrrrrr
