yeh im going to have both the mk1 clocks and the aftermarket tacho working, aftermarket is velcro'd to the perspex on the clocks and can be removed and un plugged if need be :)

list of things to do - borrow someones laptop and omex lead, load new map and set TPS - see if it starts and runs better - tidy up remaining wires - fit catch tank - fit samco reducer for heater matrix pipe (when it arrives) - fit samco vacuum hose - fit solid dogbone and adjust to give more...

my oil catch tank arrived today, cheaper and smaller (space is a bit of an issue) than most you can buy and just cos im sad :o a pic of Richard Hammond's Morgan Aeromax in the background which i am dealing with at work :cool:

mine does exactly the same and collects/drips from exactly where you have put the blue mark

right i have a standard map from k-tec, if i get that loaded onto my ecu will that have its own range set up for the TPS? or will that need adjusting while its on the car and running?

right, now there are a few things which aren't correct yet, like the car is not running the correct map, but if anyone can shed some light on these problems i would be very grateful...... firstly, got the car started and running, was sounding lumpy and number 1 trumpet was sparking/flaming. so...

not revving over 2k is safe mode get it plugged into diagnostics to pin point (term used very loosely) the problem

roffle

congrats on the win :clap:

cool, i will go on the hunt for one of those aswell :D

no, never looked into it is it worth it? will it make adjusting the angle of the engine more difficult? although saying that i noticed andy has one fitted....

yeh i suppose the beauty is the adjustable part for us mk1 owners i have the ktec vibratechnics mounts so the soild part is a small bonus

lol don't tempt me! tbh i didn't see a need to until now, the itb's fit fine, just a touch more room would be nice, and the exhaust could be adjusted a bit more, it's just this bottom rad hose that is causing me a headache, and after seeing how much room andy has with it fitted, it made my...

buy them direct? http://atpowershop.co.uk/catalog/renault-throttle-body-assembly-direct-head-p-91.html

oh and after having a nosey at andy's car, i have decided to purchase a solid adjustable dog bone mount means i can tilt the engine slightly, which will help the downpipe seal, clear a bit of room for my bottom rad hose, and give more room for the ITB's and pipercross airbox/filter

a couple of pics of the revised feul pressure regulator setup, i think it looks alot neater than the FSE then sunday morning, the best noise in the world............. it runs again :D :approve: :cool: new cps sensor from omex made all the difference! only ran it for 10 secs as...

ive got them all in the car (even found the fuel rail gaurd bolts), going to the post office tomorrow :)

it's not difficult, but can be fiddly if everything else is still in place around it (rad, fuel rail guard, coolant pipes etc) as there's not alot of room to get your arms in there put very simply, it is a case of removing old oil filter, fitting new sandwich plate (i found fitting the hoses...

yep that is fine, although definately pay the extra and get a thermostatic sandwich plate that ebay seller is very good too, used him a few times :)

lol cheers :D i'm a bit eager as everything i need to get it running has turned up this week, so all being well it might be out on the road this weekend (might even get to take it to croft on monday) i don't fancy driving it on yorkshire's finest tarmac without that mount properly secured...

sorry Fred i know you are busy, any chance of the pics? :)

i posted up something in the engines section about the coolant pipes, i found the website that produces them everyone said that after a bt of driving the coolant would discolour anyway so only look good on a show car they also put led's in the pipes to make the coolant glow

top man :D

any luck getting a pic for me fred? :)

did all the cup cars come with a water-oil cooler? and was it stolen from another model, or custom made?

that would be be awesome Fred, cheers :D

a fiver? just to make it worthwhile? or if you know them (or they are kind) free ;)

ah that makes sense sorry for the dumb questions, i'm nowhere near the car to have a look otherwise im sure i could work out what you meant :o cheers danny :)
