You've trimmed the wiring loom too much mate. A lot of it runs via can communication signals and I'd say you've got over zealous with the trimming. Where are you based?

You'll be alright with cp pistons mate. They have superior ring tension when compared to the likes of wossners. Even the oe Renault rings are better than wossners!! Btw, not forgot about the videos. Been stupid busy doing stupid s**t so I've not had chance to look yet.

Lol! Thanks! Honestly though, they're genuinely not that bad. I'd be confident that I could teach near enough anyone how to do it. It all comes down to confidence and ultimately not being scared. Wiring scares everyone it seems - even blokes I work with run and hide from it! Thanks for the kind...

Your rad will be ready for me to collect next week btw. Just remembered!:up:

It's been professionally sprayed inside mate.

Does the pump run when your turning the engine over? The power supply for the coil comes from one of the relays in the engine bay. Can't remember which one though. It's a single white wire about 4mm in diameter.

Your only saying that because I keep turning down your sexual advances.

Have you checked the crank sensor? Is the fuel pump priming?

Yeah definitely mate. I think the Astra stands as testament to my attention to detail. Lol

Minus the crease on the front edge of the bonnet from the nibbler. Lol! One day I'll upload the footage from our blast out as well (which is where to pics of the cup and the trophy came from)

Overall it's a tidy car imo. Not mint, not rough. It's also a cat c! I bought it as a cat c and carried out the repairs. It needed a new front bumper, n/s wing, n/s door and the n/s qtr pulling out slightly. I didn't care too much as it was always destined to be a track car not a show winner...

Only just! It took some motivation today that's for sure.

New mounting plate now fitted.

When you say the rear wiper is moving, is it doing a full sweep? Or is it doing little movements? If it's little movements check the earth points that are located under the dash top on the dash bar mate. Seen these come loose and cause problems like this.

New gearbox mount cover/ecu mount made and ready to fit. Probably get that on this afternoon. If I can be arsed. Lol

Well I think it'll realistically see around 220-225bhp, but I'm not too fussed what it makes tbh. As long as it's more than 200bhp I couldn't care one bit. Be nice if it made more than the 230hp, but I'm certainly not chasing numbers. I always like to do things a bit differently mate. :smiley:

Or @EVOgone may be able to offer some thoughts.

Get the code off your gearbox mate. It'll be engraved into the casing. That's the only way you'll be guaranteed to get the correct parts.

Raychem ordered for the wiring loom. I've also got a supplier of pretty much every plug used in these wiring looms. Anyone want a custom loom?! :wink: We have the technology.

Interesting. What's the costs like to enter? Do you have to have fire extinguishers/engine cut offs, or is it relatively relaxed? I can't see it mentioned in your spec list, so I'm assuming not. I quite fancy having a crack at it.

It all comes down to what exhaust system you've got fitted mate tbh. Mine was decatted on a Btb stealth and I strongly doubt it was even 90db.

Do they let any spec of Clio enter then?

Only to the noise mate. You might gain maybe 3 bhp tops.

Me likey! Original TSW evo's as well. It's a 10 from Len! Lol

^^^^^^^^^why the f**k would you do that to a car. What a complete fucktard. (I'm on about the R5 btw!)

Wiring scrap pile continues to grow! A big thank you has to go out to @MicKPM as well. With his help I now know which wire does what on the cam phase sensor. Without this it would've been guess work. Thanks again mate! I'll keep the original ecu plug the next time I do it! Flol

More accurate. Lol

Shame I've cut my black set of silicone hoses to accommodate my laminova otherwise we could've swapped! Lol! Blue would've worked on my cup nicely!

I've got my old set of coolant pipes sat around that I'll not be needing due to upgrading to forge silicone hoses. OP - if you have split a hose and you want my old ones give me a mention in here or drop me a pm. :up:

It's fine mate. I don't mind. :cool:
