Had an hour spare this afternoon so I thought I'd do a bit more. Decided to be like this guy:

The end result was this:

As you can see still a few wires to shorten/add terminals to, but I think there's only about 10 or so left. Then the loom is finished. Another job ticked off the list!!

More to come.

It's got a LOT to deliver currently mate. If it doesn't fulfill my expectations it'll be gone.

NO NO NO NO NO

I did that with a bike, and it's one of my regrets. Literally spent 2 years building it, rode it for the summer, wasn't happy, and instead of sorting the niggles, broke it.

It'll be 2 wheels for the next project mate, so unless you've got an s1000rr I'd be giving it a miss. Honestly though, I'm hoping it lives up to expectations.

No crotch rockets here.

My old boss had one and changed it for the (whatever the fastest one is called) Aprillia. Said it was a much better ride in terms of balance.

The wife's far from keen on me having one anyway. She's seen the way I drive and how I've ridden a few mates bikes! Lol!

RSV then that'll have been!

If you break it, you can give me the engine.

Would doing a little competition in it spice things up? Maybe some sprints or something?

Also, have you removed the standard ECU entirely? Notice a lot of people run two (presumably due to immobilisers). Much work in that?

In exchange for ££££'s yeah no problem! Nah unfortunately mate I don't have the time or the temperament for competition. Not my thing at all. I enjoyed helping BIGASH out when and where I could, but that's it.

It's a gen90 mate and is a direct replacement for the oe ecu. It's a very capable ecu tbf, and it meant I didn't have to faff with running the original and a mappable item. That's a win win situation as far as I'm concerned.

Well I'm happy to give you as many £ signs as you like, but I can't promise that there would be numbers after them lol. Would be interested to know what you think the engine is worth though, feel free to drop me a PM if you don't want to go public.

Interesting to know on the ECU. Always thought running two ECUs was a very messy solution.

Lol! Knowing what's in there it would never be given away anyway. There's some quite rare items (in terms of not readily available crap like wossner) and tbh, I don't think you'd ever realise it's true value.

Yeah the gen90 will run the original dash, uch etc etc.

Yeah I should imagine some of the R3 parts are quite pricey, plus all the work that's gone into it.

Interesting option the Gen90 then, good that it's effectively plug and play. Is it very adapatable? So if you bought one to run on a near-standard engine, could you then easily modify it to run a throttle body kit instead? Are they easily mapped? I suppose the problem can be finding someone who is willing to map certain brands of ECU.

Get it working and on track and it might bring the enthusiasm back, get Oulton RS day booked and that is something to aim for without rushing.
Nice neat work with the wires :up:

I was supposed to be in there doing a bit more today but I had an attack of the f**k it's.

Yes they've got a price tag mate!

Yep. Piece of piss mate. All you do is alter the settings and the map. Done. The gen90 is a gems software based ecu, so most people should be able to map it. Efi parts is where mine will be going.

Very interesting indeed. Definitely something to consider for the future, especially for a car I'm not supposed to be modifying lol. I need to stop looking at cages and things!

I am very much down with the problem of "f**k-it". I seem to suffer from that a lot. Need to make some parts for the pedal box in my Escort so I can fit the column and seat etc....but....meh.
