More wiring last night.
I soldered on the new type cranks sensor plug and fitted the new crank sensor, plug the rest of the loom in and tidied more of it up.
I need to get the starter power cable etc made and order some heat proofing sleeves to progress any more really.
Only pictures I...
Thanks, more to come and hopefully I’ll get to abuse it enough this year.
Defo worth it, this is the second time I’ve had to do tho and is becoming boring 😂
Thanks bud.
The fan is a cheap eBay jobbie that comes with a spring mounting kit that pulls through the rad.
Crap way of doing things really. The fan is on my list to upgrade but want it running first.
Pulled the engine loom out the car last night.
Only broke the. Starter motor in progress tho 🙈
Pulling the loom
Loom out. I like how the bay looks with no loom.
Starter terminal snapped off. Plastic went brittle.
Tonight’s job is getting the new loom back in place ready to...
My RS2 with GrpN timing made real dece torque from low down and held it right across the Rev range with at Efi after Scoff worked his magic.
The RS2 was nearly double the price new and I’d be happy to pay the price again as the R&D that went in it is double what the turkey inlet has had and...
I’m on 595rsr’s and haven’t ran anything other on my clio. 205/50/15
Used all the others on other cars tho but for the price of 595’s there good value for money
Massively time consuming 😂
Just taking all the tape and plastics off the looms is a job and half in its self. I was doing it away from the car aswell so trying to remember what plug is for what added a bit of time (especially when I haven’t looked at the car for 3 months or so)
Defo...
Made a start on the wiring today :astonished:
Stripped all the s**t off that’s meant to protect the looms, both engine looms, dash interior loom and rear half.
Engine loom just slightly tape together.
I need to test fit the loom and make sure all the plugs are in the correct place and fit...
Yeah silver Leon, I was standing on the loud pedal as was running late and trying to make up for lost time lol.
Was you in the 2 172 or 182s aswell? Think one was blue.
The racer looked awesome even in the dark lol.
Did you have a good day at Bedford? Travel far?
That’s epic.
They should approach you for the footage as advertisement. Awesome timing with the merc around the karussell and getting the viper in too.
Oh that’s not good. Hopefully you can sort easily.
Feel for you horrible situation to be in.
Have you got a pic of diff? And did it not feel or sound like it had a gripper in? Grippers use special oil aswell I believe.
Awesome work.
Don't suppose you’ve a picture of what tool you used to unpin the plug connectors?
I’ve ordered 2 laser tool sets but not sure if there going to be the right ones.
I know Mark might be able to help you out, but if your struggling my mate runs a BMW specialist garage in MK, dealer trained etc, he'd defo look after you if you went there. Message me if you'd like his details bud.
