Also, still got a slight knocking, so its either the lifters are drained of oil after sitting there so long or its a knocking from the bottom end. Its nowhere near as loud as it was, so im thinking it could just be the lifters.

did you ever find out about the run in time for your cams?
Them coilovers are not much more than lowering springs and shocks. But if they're better for everyday use, I might get them instead.

I picked up the alloys before. They're in pretty decent nick, well worth what I paid for them.
I'll be sanding them down tomorrow and maybe start paint them white.
Also should be buying my carpet tomorrow.
I'm after some M3 leather seats too after I put my carpet in. I will put up a post of what they look like in the wanted section so if anyone comes accross them, let me know

Started it again tonight with the help of a jump start from chris (aceritz) and pomp - cheers.
Got my fan wired up so that works nicely.
Thermostat housing is still leaking and I think its causing an air pocket in the coolant system as it dangerously overheats after running for about 20 mins.
Need to try and get that sorted.
Cant find anywhere to buy carpet from, but hopefully i'll be buying some at the weekend.
HID Kits arrived today from Hong Kong, so I'll be installing them when I get my new headlights in the new year.
Finished sanding my new alloys down, so should be painting them this week.
Tonight I swapped the idle control valve for a spare one I had so it idles much better now
