hodge Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Changes the top dash panel on the car. The pre facelift one pushed the centre panel down and made it look untidy so I got myself a facelift panel and had it painted black for a bit of a contrast. Makes the lines on the dash flow a lot better. The pre facelift odometer isn't a direct fit, is I had to mod it a little to fit but it's all gone together perfectly now.

James Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Excellent mate, the top panel is looking great. Just one little portion of such an overall impressive car! Glad I won't have a white one to try to compete with as this is just so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one little portion of such an overall impressive car! Glad I won't have a white one to try to compete with as this is just so good! Thanks guys, I really can't wait to get some boost into it now. I've just rang Ryan and am waiting for a call back to arrange a date for mapping. I've also sold my ID2000 injectors, and will soon order a set of Ansu 1200cc injectors on Ryan's recommendations. He says the spray pattern is much better and will transform the off boost driving of the car. Got to speak to Lee about those later on today.

hodge Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Bad news guys. I've got a missfire, and a pretty bad 1 too. I just went and filled it up with fuel and about 4 miles down the road it began to splutter and AFRs went really rich if I push the throttle, if I back off the even themselves out. I managed to limp it home and get it in the garage, now if it were a sticky injector 1 plug would be black but there all spooted so this points me to a different direction. I've also noticed my Syvecs isn't turning my fans on either. I'm wondering if something has came lose in the passenger footwell maybe. I can't be coincidence that it's missfiring and the fans won't come on. I've plugged the lap top in and have no errors at all. It's all a bit wierd. I thought it could be a paired alternator maybe as my fans are powered by that. But then again I can turn my fans on with the manual overide buttons I fitted as a procaution so that can't be it. Passenger side carpet up I'm thinking and see what's going on. Pretty gutted really, as I'm waiting for Ryan phoning me back about mapping, and I've got a show this weekend.

hodge Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Problem solved. The retaining clip on the Syvecs that holds the plug onto the ECU had moved which let the plug move enough to lose connection on some pins. Car runs perfectly now.
