I am in Carlisle

I a looking to get the ITB fitted in a month or so and the Gen 90 ECU. It should have a map of it suitable for my 172 but I want to get it custom mapped to make sure it is running at its best. Can most mappers Connect with the Gen 90? Where is recommended in the North? I presume RS Tuning is a...

ITB's have arrived! A bit premature as there are plenty of other things I need to do first but couldn't resist buying them so will just shelve them for now until I am ready.

Watched. :) Looking forward to photos and your progress.

Is there anywhere else that does 3/4 plates as Fancy Plates seem to be a little expensive compared to others but I can't find 84mm height anywhere else.

Still shocked at this: I am now 100% convinced the roof has had a re spray in the past. It's a different colour and the edges show signs of masking. I am thinking of maybe wrapping the roof black. The silver doesn't match at the moment so it might as well really not match!

Nice car you have there and some great parts and photos. :smile: Did you spray the cage white or did you have it supplied like that as it looks black in the photos of it when freshly delivered?

Another member of the OMP wheel club:

Yeah but didn't have time to weigh them. The carbon one is less than 5kg.

Yep :)

Here is today's progress: Standard bonnet was a state: Now looks like this: Couldn't believe the original receipt was over £1000!!! A few blemishes in the lacquer but I will either live with it or get it sorted if my body shop man can do it. He said sometimes it can be difficult if it...

Not sure what happened to the roof but might explain the Cat D status. Must be some filler in and about there but I won't worry about it. No more weight than having a big dump before a session. Lol

There was a lot of iron filings on the boot this morning so thought I best IronX it before it damages the paint.

Tried the 17mm spanner trick and a few other methods before resorting to the hacksaw.

See who has a broken nose and black eyes first! I need buckets and harnesses and then I can rip all the air bag stuff out all together.

Also just got the rear wiper and motor off. Let's just say it won't be going back on again....

There may have been some work done to the roof from the outside but these dints have been made from the inside. Perhaps panel beaters knocking it back out. The bonnet is crap on the car with dents, chips. rusty patches on the underside and outside. Wonder what is in that box I posted earlier...

Did some more stripping this evening. Started to uncover a few strange things. Took the roof lining out to find the underside of the roof looking like this: Also after taking the pillar trim off there was a lot of dust which to me indicates sanding before spraying something: Also started...

I have ordered one today. Went to take the wiper off... Usual story. Will try again later

Can I cut the wires as they are just hanging about now I have stripped the interior?

I do not know. Only went down the road and back and used the indicator once. I will test properly next time I drive and see what it does in different situations.

Nice looking car you have there. A few mods I am looking at myself. :)

Found the brake light was on all the time before when I reversed up to the house and saw the reflection in the window. Turned out that the switch is a push to break and it wasn't touching the pedal so was made and on all the time. Scratched my head for a while and couldn't find anyway to adjust...

Something packed up and on its way:

It's becoming a race car slowly slowly with a little bit at a time. The instructions to remove the wheel were right enough. This boss does cancel the indicators as well.

They only supplied one and I don't have another resistor to try so will get hold of another and try again. I know they are cheap but I might as well contact the supplier and explain they sold the boss vehicle specific and it doesn't work so please send another. Just to confuse the matter...

Well I didn't have time to upload all the Photos earlier so here is the rest of the pics. Wheel off: So whilst this was off I decided to take the radio controls off I don't need and Hoover out all the crap that was behind there. The air bag connectors were a tight fit through the boss but it...

Steering wheel day today: Managed to get the airbag off ok. This shows the difference between standard and 330mm. I think 300 would be too small so happy I went for 330 More to follow soon....

Sorry to bring an old thread back to life but I thought it better than starting a new one. I Am currently changing my steering wheel and OMP have supplied a fused resistor for the air bag light but there are two connections for the original steering wheel. Do I need resistors for each of the...
