Assuming you'll be there showing it off Well I'll get to ad many as I can. But there's a long way to go before it's ready to take to a meet that's for sure.

hodge Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Done soon work on the loom adaptor today. Started off with the resistor pack. Ryan tells me the injectors will get the 12v feed from the syvecs so I had to mod the resistor pack I got from Heckler. I removed the single 12v feed and add another 6 wires. Then the injector wires on the loom are cut and the resistor pack is soldered in between them. After this I put the coverings back on and all done. All soldered into the loom adaptor. I've kept the wires long so I can locate it out of the footwell to reduce the amount of heat it's getting. It's going in the car tomorrow.

hodge Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Ok guys were good to go for Tomorrow. Cars ready, got extra oil, PAS fluid and coolant. I've also do some diff oil to change too. I've bought a 50m Internet cable today so we don't have any issues with wifi signal. Ryan will be on line doing his thing at 9.45AM. Let pray all goes well. I've got team calling over to help with bleeding stuff off and just general keeping an eye for potential issues etc etc. We've got a servere weather warning for snow tomorrow, so I gues driving it going to be a no no but what's new. To bleed the coolant I saw this and thought it would greatly help the bleeding process. It gives an air tight seal around the rad cap, you fill it with Copland and remove the bung. As the air comes out coolant goes in. Once it's all bled off, stick the bung back in and just take it off. Check out the pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then 9.45 were good to go. Got the dampners from eBay mate. Think they were about 40 quid. Work great but a bit of a Fiddle to line up that's all. But there solid when the bonnets up.

hodge Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 If all goes to plan tonight, I'm going to erm well Ben and me are going to have a look at configuring some of the dash2. Steve has kindly gave me the fuel voltage settings and the RPM-MPH ratios so I can (we can, cos I'm shit with computers) have a crack at that. Want everything else done first though.

hodge Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Love the breather system located in the wing! Keeps everything looking very tidy! Cheers dude. I wanted to do something different with the breathers that's never Been done. Initially the lines were going to go to the other side. After I changed my mind everything just sort of fell in place as I stumbled through it, not quite knowing how I wanted to do it. Really happy with the end result though.
