i have left it for about 30-45 mins and still happens, it all sounds sweet and i have set the idle and dizzy too, i think it may be just a build up of condensation in the cat, also in the engine due to the head being off for a long time?
the only problem i do have is a sticky accelerator? how do i go about repairing this?
many thanks guys :)
 
Pull the cable out, fairly easy to figure out, clean out any grease from the cable and then reinsert it.
Maybe try firing some thin grease (white lubricant) down the throttle first?

Or.... Have you checked it's not the throttle body/pedal being sticky?

after reading other threads on different cars some people say it always happens and a lot of people are saying white smoke - coolant blue smoke - oil, i must be burning coolant, it does get up to temperature quite quickly now too?

White smoke in the exhaust. All engines produce a small amount of visible steam in the exhaust when they are first started on a cold morning, but if you see white smoke when the engine is running at normal temperature (and it is not below freezing outside), there could be coolant in the exhaust from a leaky head gasket. The exhaust may also have a sweet smell.
hit the nail on the head i think so gonna check the torque and angle of each bolt as i believe this is the only thing it could be!
 
where get that reg plate from matey.

It's okay mate easy enough to fit too just use a load of self tappers! Yeah mate just drill pilot holes first and then use self tapered tappers too! Not saying my car is held together with self tapers but they work well!!

Sean do it mate looks so much better and @infinity I didn't torque the head bolts down enough so coolant was leaking into the cylinder causing it to burn a shot load of smoke when up to temp, so I took the head off checked gasket, reinstalled and torqued using neighbours torque tench as mine needs calli rating by the looks of it! Oh well works now :)

Hahah when you are in there buy some scotch pads, this is one of the most important things to do pre paint! Have a look on YouTube if you need to mate!

quick question, would this fit my exhaust? also has anyone either got or know the best place to get an adjustable pan hard rod?
 
Hi mate,
She is looking good for all of the hard work you have put into her, I really like what you have done to your FL front bumper. Did you use a tin of aerosol paint for the wing if so I commend you on the quality finish! :D

Thanks for sharing and keep the updates coming with pics!

Cheers
Andy :)
