Sweet thanks Graham is this the plug you speak of?*
Big update and thanks to Graham and his guide. Finally have cruise control fitted after a lot of testing, head scratching and wiring it's finally all in. My car was all wired from the ecu plug to the cabin for cruise but decided to bypass all this and just cut and solder my wires to the existing wires.
Took me atleast 6-7 hours to get it all wired and fitted. Still need to put the sport airbag in which I managed to win for £6 inc P&P .
Can't remember how this goes back together
Finished product
Did this to my clocks whilst I was at it and fitted my white heater control bulbs yet to have a pic
Thought so just need some pins for it, gonna go scrap yard and smash an ecu plug to pieces for the wires. Interior wise it's almost finished just need some new mats, rear door cards, wire up sun visors and fit steering trim to this wheel somehow. Then will start to sort the exterior.
The back wheels looked really lost in the arches and was starting to bug me.
16mm fitted, gonna make up some 20 and 25mm spacers once I've got the material.
Also purchased this for a fiver of ebay, unsure if to fit it or not or go for a better 3inch stainless tip and remove the backbox at the same time.
Having some trouble with my cruise control it doesn't work lol. The lights comes on the dash, but after 5 mins of driving it goes and doesn't come back on until I restart the car. The other function works, but eventually turns off.
I want maybe 1degree of camber on the back now, arch almost touches with weight in back.
I think the clutch switch is at fault had trouble trying to cancel the cruise when it worked. So ordered another switch and the plug for switch from renbreakers.
No trouble cancelling with clutch switch when it first worked i tried to cancel it with clutch and brake but nothing happened so ended upturning it off on the panel. The speed limiter works as it should its just the cruise function that doesnt work, light comes up on dash but wont let me set it, then after a while it wont work at all no lights on the dash or anything
Doh major brain fart there. Cruise still not working ecu has a fault code stored df118 whatever that is. New problem as arose now, I have a cracked abs ring I think which has brought the abs light on.
Finally wired in my sunvisors
And added another boot light which was really easy and adds a lot more light.
Exhaust tip arrived as well as the reducer and exhaust trim, which I need to put on when the weather brightens up.
Got some bits that need spraying still such as boot button, rear wiper blank, spoiler and front bumper trim.
There may be another dci sport rep on the horizon GrahamSAlexW found a sport body kit for £100.
You were right about the laguna lighter alex looks much better than the original, also managed to get laguna cruise switch that gives of a white light to match the rest of the dash.
If you see my thread it's beyond cutting it close. It's going to run over into next week as it's gone from a bit of paint to a whole respray for some reason. No idea why but I may have to flog the Recaros if it becomes too expensive. Even worse my sister has gone on holiday and left MY other car parked up the road but has taken the key with her! Splendid.
I think a little picture of these items, splitter and socket is needed. I am intrigued.
Here's my drunken ebay purchase offered him £100 for it all and didn't even realise till the other that I had won lol. So went and picked it all up today needs a bit of work before it can sprayed.
Also picking up sport running for the front soon so the wheels won't look stupidly lost in the arch and plus it's a bargain
keeping a close eye on this one, love the progress so far buddy. thinking of getting a dci one of these to run along side the 200. and this thread is really not helping ahah!
It included the front part of the arch liner need the rear part still. Just in the process of flating it all down ready for primer at the weekend hopefully have it all on by the end of the month
Awesome he did say to me that he chucked some rear door cards (sport) away that I could of had for free.
I've managed to find a find a good colour match for my car so I'm gonna spray all the parts up first with the spray gun then fit it all and then get a bodyshop near by to me to just blend the wings and skirts into the rest of the body.
Ohh nice! should save your self a packet. As you know paint is all in the prep. Are you buying the paint premixed? You've got a water trap for the compressor etc?
Make your garage into a huge booth because even a spec of dust will be balls. Get a brand new paint suit etc.
Yeah I hope so, it's all in the prep wings are ready for primer. Front bumper had a crack in but that's been repaired now just need to rub it down a bit more in places. Skirts are covered in tar so waiting on some tar X to be delivered.
No been mixed to match paint whilst I wait. Not sorted water trap just yet leaving that to my dad to sort. Got 2 gas burners to help bake and cure the paint; plan is to line the whole garage with plastic sheeting into a box shape and spray in that to limit that amount of dust etc.
Bit of an update
Front bumper and wings have been primed ready for colour still need to do abit more work on the skirts hoping to get it all sprayed and fitted before October 12th for the PFC Expo.
Travelled 350 miles last week to pick my other bargain up from GrahamS had a good chat and put more ideas in my head about what to do with the clio. Managed to get 80mpg from that trip used around £20-£25 worth of fuel getting there and back which is why I love the little dci.
Spent today sorting out the widetrack stuff so it can be fitted when I've got some free time. Abs rings fitted (26), inner arb bushes, brakes were rebuilt with new seal and then cracked out the paint and painted it all.
