I keep meaning to reply to your thread Stu! Car is coming along really nicely, lots of good and perfect mods to make it a real cracker on track. Surely our cars are pretty much along the same lines! I've even got a failed tripod on a driveshaft at the moment ha

Just a quick question. What awards are there if any for non-sports if any? Just wondering whether to give the old girl a scrub before coming up or be a lazy bugger and not take a day off :)

the matrix in the car? it's a complete dash out job including the dash frame. The heater hoses in the engine bay aren't particularly fun either! Could do it in 5 hours I reckon if you remember where everything goes and are very organised

neither type of clock is powered by the radio so it should still show temp and clock. are you sure the bulbs haven't gone and it's just very feint.

It's removing the standard fluid driven pas pump driven by the engine, looping the rack or fitting a DCI rack and changing the column to a 1.2/dci version which has electronic assistance. There's a control knob which you get form eBay which allows completely variable assistance. Search for epas...

I got a deal on groupon for £19 so it's definitely worth a try

^ that was spot on, it wouldn't kick in until it was filled with gas.

worked it out. The climate control A/C diagram is wrong. The pin from the climate to the ecu is e3 on the grey plug. The one from the ecu to the relay is e2 on the black plug.

to finalise. Hope this if of someuse to people. It can easily take half a day to do this. My tips would be to use a flat blade soldering iron and cut off tiny piece of solder. Hold the SMD in place, put the tiny piece solder next to the joint and then use the iron, otherwise it just gets a...

The car is ready to go away now....almost. I just need to change the wheels and that's it. Over the past week I've done three jobs on the car with one being slightly more exciting than the other two. Firstly I fitted the new turbo completely ignoring their fitting instructions which were...

Those seats came up well! Airbag light will self clear

@james24785 these are the 3mm ones I got http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161153730729?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT come with resistors and some free red leds too oddly. Ebay or Farnell are the best places for the plcc-2 or plcc-4 smds

okay so this is what I've been able to establish Clocks (needle type) 10 plcc-2 (4 for display, 6 for needles) Digital 4 plcc-2 for needles 4 plcc-4 for display Update list display 4 plcc-4 Tuner list display ? Climate control 28 LEDs all plcc-2 Manual heater control panel ? Radio ...

Looking to get a slash cut tip on the DCI and the 172 just not sure which one to buy which is going to match the angle of the rear bumper. I of course like the k-tec recessed one which claims to be 3.5" but can't find anything similar on ebay and as I'd be buying three tips I want to make sure...

you really can. It is a huge improvement I promise and while the seats are out it would be rude not to. Good shout on the head rests. I am pretty much in bexhill constantly at the moment so you can collect the fuse thing whenever.....and those radio keys! Will have a look for the coin tray. I...

looks jolly good! Go hole hog and try to get a 182 carpet. I've got a fuse cover you can have and please please get a 182 interior with white dots instead of the 172 one with black dots. If you can get the bits for climate I'll help you fit it ;)

Nice one matey! you got that done quickly. You'll probably find the steering wheel is rubbing on the cowling so won't go back to centre. Happened to me when I fitted a 197 wheel. I have a pov spec ph2 wheel you're welcome to to just try it out.

yes it's the same

@Martin_172 it does spool up a little quicker and I think there is marginally more torque. There is no difference in noise other than being able to hear spool up a little more in the car but the change in sound is so small you might not even notice. Worthwhile mod definitely

@msremmert I'm going to get them individually as it's a huge amount cheaper and I'm a cheapskate. No no! Red display! Like an Audi. I love my clocks :) I'll try and take apart some components later to get the exact sizes of a few more bits

I've been looking around the site for ages this evening and there isn't a complete list of the bulbs needed for the dash conversion. I'll put down what I know but if someone could help me fill in the blanks that would be brilliant. @McGherkin @MWright maybe you guys can help Clocks (needle...

Where abouts in kent are you. Let me know if you need any help

Have you not! It's like the plague, I can't get rid of it....I jest. Cheers though mate, people try it on sometimes. If only they knew. Good question about the colour. It's meant to be gris boreal but it's a far lighter shade than standard so really I have no idea! Power is standard bar the...

ha, I'm sure it is really. I just wish mine was an 80! It's not a short shift, just a yanoo 1.0, which I absolutely love. Brilliant mod if you can get one at a decent price. Yeah I've got the fourth mount. Very big reduction in movement. You can get a new genuine dog bone for £13 on ebay :)

I would actually be moving closer to you! You say that but the more I wash it the more the paint falls off! That overspray on the rear 1/4 windows came off the other day ;)

sounds like an injector to me

put a wire between a2 and a3 on the cruise control switch plug

Pretty sure there is a fuse although the diagram may not be stored in my brain correctly. It dims but supplying 12v to one of the pins when the sidelights are turned on. No 12v, no dimming. Worth a check definitely

fuse has probably gone for the dimming function.

Didn't see these!! Thank you both :smile: Again it's a boring update but I've spent nearly three solid days working on the car so it's justified I promise. Recently I've been having a few problems with the fan on the heater which could be solved by just shaking a few wires beneath the dash so...
