I wish id stayed now!!!
172 Race Car
Not quite, even though it was a very short drive today, it highlighted some things that need some looking at.
1, The clutch ratchet AGAIN!!!! Will be putting those bolts back in....
2, Gear linkage needs adjustment
3, Suspension setup is needed before I do any driving at all. It drove awfull!
4, The heater blows warm on the cold setting. The hole I made in the bulkhead to fit the wiper linkage means the heat from the engine bay is getting into the fan. I have a solution in mind.
5, A clunk from the n/s/f. No idea what it is yet.
6, The induction and road noise is mental. Nothing wrong with that, it just reminded me and thought id mention it. Its been 8 months!!

Not gonna get matched inlets mate? Or are you waiting to see what happens with this super 2000 inlet manifold?

Have you managed to figure out which files you need to write to the ECU now Jay? ie. which map?
172 Race Car
We will see. just want the group N map on there for now. If i get matched inlets it will still be ok with the group N. I MIGHT be having a set done.
S2000 inllet is deffo not on the cards anytime soon
No not yet, just going to look now. Im not going to do it untill ive got plenty of time to get it all setup. Car battery on a booster and laptop plugged into the mains etc.
Unlocked all ok tho and downloaded/backed up my current data

Cool, well give me a shout when you do it! I wouldnt mind seeing what goes on exactly, especially if we'll be doing mine too!
Firstly make a FULL back-up of your ECU
Then upload the latest standard engine software available to your car... A300_3504 I believe (but do not quote me on that haha)
http://www.fastchip.nl/content/view/32/27/
After that you upload the performance calibration ".cal" file, which should be the "Groupe_N.rst"
Then take it steady driving the car for the first few drive cycles.. The ECU goes into "learning" mode I believe after a full re-write, same effect when you disconnect the battery for a long period of time.
Hope that makes sense, if you where close I would pop over and do it for you

The insurance has started now so I can tax it tomorrow. This week I've been doing some little bits and pieces.
I bought a battery optimiser to keep my 'posh' battery in a charged state while its parked. Cost me £35 from the battery specialist I got the battery from. It has a very small output, 0.2amps, when the battery is fully charged, so it will keep it topped up nicely. The kit come with a small flylead that attatches permanently to the battery. Its just a case of pluginng it in when I get home. I've got no power outside the house yett so it has to go though the living room window, Lol.
Over the last week or so I've been sticking down the fabric around the edge of my passenger seat. Had to use pegs to hold it down while the glue set. Its much neater now. Will fit it in tomorrow.
Went up to my mates place to get the track wheels sorted. Had to give them a wash to clean the ferodo dust off them.
My God, they are black not grey! Then mounted a set of 'previosly loved' R888's. I'll put them on the car before friday so Curtis can set it up with the proper wheels on.
Got the GroupN ecu flash on there now using the RS tuner and we are giving it a good wash tomorrow as its over 10 months since it saw a sponge. Will tax it and give it a nice run to make sure everything is ok.

Nice work as always Jay.

f**k me, where to start on todays MASSIVE events?
Shadowness (Dan) came over early to give me a hand again today. He is an absolute legend!
First job was to fit some seatbelt mounting points to the tunnel. I didnt want them on the seat subframe I wanted them further back. i got hold of some spreader plates for them. To do this we had to jack the car up and remove the exhaust to get access to the underside of the tunnel.
Marked them out and drilled the tunnel. They fit very neatly here and are in a perfect place.
While i was under there I noticed the handbrake mounting stud was ripped away from the floor, so knocked it out and replaced it with a bolt and nyloc nut. Handbrake lever is much more solid now. Probably been like this for ages.
Exhaust went back up (it really doesnt fit very well, hangs so low, a job/expense for another day) So then we could get on with giving it long overdue and much needed bath.
We took all the trim off, mirrors, spolier, bump strips, window rubbers etc, to discover the true horror of it!
:dead:
Looked like it had been rescued from a pond!
We went to town on it, cleaning it in places that i didnt know existed. Not a mega 'anal' detail but more than ive ever done to any car ive ever owned!
I then decided that now would be a good time to fit that rear bumper id had in the loft since August.
Had to make the cutout and fit the surround to it. Its not perfect but when i get the exhaust sorted out and fitting propery i'll get it tidyer.
At least its Titanium now and not some halfords rattle can guess colour. It has a scuff on the nearside. not too bad, looks much better than the other one so thats all the matters.
Even before any clay, polish or wax it was already looking like a different car!
Dan gave it a clay and then a polish.

It was starting to look too good!
While he was busy with the wax I got on with fitting the passenger seat so we could go out on a test drive later.
Moved the seat further from centre now, as it was far too close to the drivers seat. Its a very wide seat and I may have some trouble getting a cage to fit beside it at a later date.
Probably get another seat before then anyway.
Then I finished off the battery cable.
I havent got a pic of it totaly finished, forgot!
Made up a little heat shield to cover the hole i made in the firewall. This should stop the engine bay heat going into the fan and blowing warn air. We tested this later and it worked a treat.
