It worked previously when we tested it once wired in, and before that on BIGASH's car (it was his loom) so hopefully it is just a loose connection

Dash uses Can interface to the ECU Oil pressure and temp are direct to dash

Electronics are not my strong point (actually what is.... I really need to learn) I know you can add the data logger to the older Dash2 and then with the extra GPS sensor separately (that then plugs into that) you can get the speedo. This may be a way to go to future proof the car, a data logger...

This looks pretty handy and keeps it all nice in the engine bay. I am a little concerned that I am doing to have to de-pin the connectors going into the back of the Dash2, I also need to check on the wiring for the kill-switch (it wasn't my loom originally) but I will see the state of play once...

Ah, spot on. I will potentially look in to doing that then I think.

UPDATE: So some of the niggles I am going to have to look at with the car: No Speedo The dash has no input for speed. These are not taken from the wheel speed sensors but previously on James Ashtons car where through a data logger. The later Race Technology Dash2's (the pro) came with GPS built...

Awesome man, congrats. This will be our first also, and are due early November. I would have liked to get some use out of it before then but realistically funds just aren’t going to allow that with the bills for this and so many other things going on. It just means it will be spot on for some...

Yeah mate, how have we not worked this out/discovered this before.... That is the other reason I am going to be broke, just ordered a new bike too....PM on way

Thank you guys, much appreciated. Yeah I do think it is going to be pretty different, in a good way I hope....lol Are you due to mate? If so, big congrats...

Very happy with the curve, a massive improvement. Looking forward to driving it now, but it may not come out in anger for a while. I will have to look at saving/paying these bits off for a little while which should work out with sorting the other bits and bobs too (as they will be minimum...

UPDATE: Just had a call from Troy at Northampton Motorsport and the car has now been mapped. There are some little niggles still to sort but I guess these are small fry to now knowing the car is actually running well and it withstood the power runs. The car was originally assembled by BTM...

Awesome result guys for your first finished race. Love the variety in your championship,

Good Luck

UPDATE: I realised a couple of days ago that I still could progress a little with the build as I do have 1 small part of the puzzle still in my company. The front bumper.... I need to sort the brake cooling and this was going to be fed by the now not in use fog light apertures in the front...

Too much IMO, what colour are your callipers? I would go red callipers and dark wheels... but it appears I am the only one ha

I think in all honesty if it is under 900kg's I will be happy. closer to 850kgs the better though.

As long as things are relatively generic I think its ok..... I wouldn't be able to get away with my cut rear bumper I doubt.... but thats easily sorted. I think some even get funny about roof scoops, and drilling interior panels

Good luck chap....

was going to say if it is anywhere near this I won't be happy... ha This will be more like it hopefully. 850kg would be amazing

UPDATE: I spoke with Northampton Motorsport yesterday and the new connectors have been connected to the looms and car fires up and is running on all 4-cylinders. Happy days... shame it wasn't an easier (cheaper) problem to solve but glad we have got to the bottom of it. Next up is for it to go...

That may be both of us then....

As others have echoed. Chris was a good mate, 1. I can't believe he built it and hardly used it, 2. I can't believe he sold it... but 3. I am glad it has gone to a good home. Such a good build with the attention to detail.... Enjoy

Subscribed now so will be keeping a good eye on the thread. We have a 3L LWB (dual axle) so hopefully should suit towing well, but as you say it will be like a bloody artic... ha

I had somehow also missed this thread.... Just been all the way back through the thread. Love how this gets used/abused/fixed and used again. Looks like you have had a lot of fun with it. How did you find towing it with the Sprinter? I will be using our to tow shortly

Would be nice to remove it, visually and for access to the engine but I think you have done the right thing for sure, always good to have an easy back up option.

I hadn't previously noticed the loss of the 2 top engine mounts.... that is super helpful...

Ah man, frustrating on the engine and as said super unlucky. Interesting way to look at it in that it may have been for the better as you lacked wet tyres and wipers (the lack of wipers made me chuckle...) I hope you get it sorted with minimal costs/ease mate. Interesting to read about the...

As much as it also sucks for you guys its nice to know the feeling is shared in a way. Its frustrating but I guess it will make me appreciated it even more when it comes. The car isn't going anywhere, it is a long term project (if you hadn't guessed). There will be plenty of time to play...

A lot of it is hours... 3hrs rolling road time (attempted) 9hrs working on/trying to sort the loom issues and sorting the inlet balancing aswell as £650 + VAT for the new ECU and there we have it...lol Bills like this just mean everything will be a lot slower coming together, even when I get...

UPDATE: Physically nothing has progressed again since the last update and is unlikely to until next week. A new connector (this time an AS mil spec connector) has been ordered and will be fitted shortly. I have had the bill though, coming in at just over £1800 this is quite frustrating as the...
