Daniels Blue 182.

I saw you were giving up for the time being....this made me sad.

I then saw you had sorted it....this made me happy again.

Top work, hopefully the issue with the injectors gets sorted eventually and then you can enjoy what you have built properly .

Went for a drive and didn't die.

Sick project mate! Looks amazing!
Love the filter used in the photo, if it's not a filter then the colour the camera has picked up it sweet

Weapon. Love it.

Thanks all, really means a lot to hear your comments!

PayPal case has gone through and I've been refunded by the buyer for the injectors thank God!!!!

Tonight I had a play at modifying the original gear knob and shaft as the standard knob is absolutely massive and I'm only used to a small one...

It was also moving a bit so I've gone from...

After a quaife style knob, a bit of chopping down, a spring and a m3 bolt I now have this.

Simply lift up the bottom bit for reverse.

Booked your mapping yet?

 

[dann2707]

Booked your mapping yet?

Not yet mate. I've bought new injectors from rs tuning that are on the way and I'm just about to strip the dash and interior and cage out so I can repaint the interior as I'm not really happy with the finish of the colour I've got now.

Ive also got a new dash to go in as mine is snapped near the steering wheel.

I need new brake discs and pads so might get those too before mapping I just need to hear back on when Chris is next free.

 

[dann2707]

Bit of an update. First of all, we're on page 69 lol

Secondly, here are a few pics from the other day.

So the next step was to get this sorted. You can see where the paint stops from when I stripped the car after painting.

Seats removed

Also removed these brackets too

I need to flap them smooth next week.

Cage out

Handbrake off

I will be changing the top dash to get rid of the broken one here

Removed the wiring loom too to re-tape as it had a lot of paint from last time.

I will head to B&Q this week and choose a paint colour as I want it a darker primer colour. I want it this colour...

 

[incy-spider]

That R26r grey is nice too, probably too light though... also Porsche Gt3 grey [emoji7][emoji7]

 

[dann2707]

Well I've got a new mapping date of the 1st of July which should give me plenty of time to get the car sorted by then.

I need to identify the blowing exhaust and sort that. Then obviously finish painting the interior!

I received my new injectors from rs tuning... I'll be honest, it's absolutely night and day difference between the quality of them compared to the ones from SAS. Check out how rough the ones from sas look in terms of the plastic moulding and the deka logo... Ignore the number scratches, that was from the cowboy injector tester company.

Compared to rs tunings...

Take from what what you will. Would be interesting to see other peoples perspective on the quality there.

Tonight ive been retaping my interior loom as I had quite a lot of paint on there when I painted my interior the first time.

Gone for a nice Matt finish on it which I really like.

I completely redid the loom that you can see when it's in the car in this style just o keep it all neat and uniform.

Got some p clips on the way so I can tidy it all up properly. Can't wait now I've done a decent job of it.

Tomorrow I've got this to fit to the new dash. Absolutely sick to death of disconnecting the battery under the pass seat by unscrewing the 8mm nut so this makes sense. Only £12 too and it's fia approved.

 

[Daz...]

The injectors you had originally look absolutely awful compared to the new ones!

Fingers crossed you get through the next mapping session successfully.

 

[Flat Eric]

Injectors look night and day.
Are they both supposed to be same brand?!

 

[barnesautos]

Just out of curiosity @dann2707 , did the s**t ones arrive in renault packaging to give the authentic look [emoji102]

 

[JamesBryan]

Those original ones are fakes. No two ways about it.

He was selling some 840cc ones recently for £190! No way are they real....

Yeah they did didn't they. Thank you man. I'm going to get a new Renault coilpack and leads too just to make sure.

Yeah haha they're supposed to be identical... Laughable isn't it.

No they just came in bags by themselves. Rs tuning came capped on either side.

You reckon? It definitely is dodgy either way.

 

[KitsonRis]

Do you want some cable tidy stuff to put your interior loom in? I bought too much when doing mine and it's just sitting at home doing nothing. There should be plenty to do what I've done again.
It's black ribbed tube with a slit down to put wires/cables through. I've got a length down each side of the car cable tied to a little self adhesive cable tie connector.

Thank you for the offer dude! Do you have a pic of what it looks like?

 

[KitsonRis]

I don't on me...but there might be one in my project thread. But the way I have laid my cables and wires is so I can put it all back to standard if I need to.
I'll message my dad to get one as it is at his and I am not

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Thread tidied.

@KitsonRis @dann2707 Are you describing conduit?

Yes. Just like that

 

[bashracing]

I use wiring braided sleeving

 

[dann2707]

Both do look good!

I think I prefer the braided sleeving but I don't really need it I don't think.

Thank you for the offer though kitson!

Got a load of p clips through yesterday so I can have it super neat and tidy. Not sure how I want them affixed though. Maybe pop rivets to save rivnutting everything! But would they crush the plastic p clip? Haven't had much involvement with pop rivets.

[barnesautos]

I'll show you what I use , nothing fancy , but free clips and tape lol .
I'll take a few picks when I can

 

[barnesautos]

I got loads of these clips if you want any .

 

[dann2707]

Been a few days since I've updated everything. I've got the week off work so started painting the interior. It's really tedious to do and it's quite hard to see in the garage (first world problems) but I've got a few more coats to do and it will be sorter. Really happy with the colour as before people k

ept asking why I chose white... But it's not it was just a really shitty light grey.

First coat to check the colour

Did the full first coat today

I took a picture of the new Ford focus mk3 rs into b and q and got it colour matched to that.

Hopefully will get another layer of paint on tomorrow and get it all assembled next week.

Came back from London the other night (can see the clothes on the floor) and had to get carring as I'd been away for a few days.. So swapped my dash bits over to the new unbroken dash. Thanks @RyG it took a lot longer than expected but also fitted the cut off switch. Really happy with its location. Seems to fit in. Also fitted new as bolts with washers.

Ended up buying a new coil pack and ht leads from Renault just so I know everything is new before mapping, £120 though jeez.

Was just looking for updates! Painting when there is potential big power to be had must be soul destroying!

Good job though mate [emoji106]

 

[MatthewR]

I love the work on this however i couldnt be happy with silver bolts on the dash. Is there no way to get them a gray / anthracite?

 

[scotiamr2t]

can you reach the cut off switch while strapped into your seat?

Yeah tell me about it Sam, although I was never happy about the colour so I'm ticking off something in my head that's mentally nagging me. Going to chuck on some more coats today.

Cheers though Dave.

I had them black before but sadly they started to rust a bit. I know what you mean though, but when it's in the car it should go with a few other details I've got in there.

I haven't tried but I very much doubt it but I'll be honest. I only wanted this fitted to save me unscrewing the battery terminals under the seat haha.

 

[incy-spider]

No worries Steve

 

[dann2707]

I'm never painting an interior ever again. Three coats done everywhere. f**k my life

Should be reassembling everything next week.

 

[Clio_fool]

You missed a bit.
I do recall saying the light grey would look s**t as soon as it got dirty. That looks much better[emoji106]

 

[Mr Plums]

Looks better Dan.

Your airbags gone off!

 

[Jekyll]

Nice colour bud.

Will you be painting the insides of the inner skin panels in the rear or leaving them as it Is?

 

[Coops Mk1]

nice work matey, need to get over for a brew and a nosey soon

 

[Stuiemc]

I used number plate fixings to hide the screws on my dash might be an idea not sure if you can since yours are bolted rather than self tappers.

 

[Christopher]

I love everything about this build. Proper job.
Quick Q: Do you know of any way to modify the height of the standard shifter? I really want to bring my 200 gearknob closer to the wheel but there are NO options out there, bar the £1k CAE.

 

[Scrooge]

Interior looks miles better in that colour!
