Re: My mk1 track car blog
right ive not taken any pics AGAIN!! apologies to the peeps who require their daily fix of images lol
got my new gear lever in and connected selector up to gearbox, gave it a quick test....we have gears!!
then bolted on my soft pedal clutch bracket and rigged up my clutch cable....we have a clutch!!
cant remember if i said this already but also got my throttle rigged up, took a bit of fettling as it wasnt returning to fully closed when taking foot off pedal, but i think ive sorted it now
also took a dremel and a hack saw to the dash, i now have a very small dashboard :evil: and i connected all the dials and what not back in, although i think i may have mullered the hazard switch in the process only time will tell
and i THINK ive got my head around the fuel pressure regulator, but again only time will tell whether my plan works, or if the whole project ends in a ball of flames lmao

Re: My mk1 track car blog
well the ph1 loom and ECU (thats 3 172 ecu's i have now!!) i bought turned up today, so it looks like i will have my head in a maze of wires this weekend :dead:
i'd like to get my seats in this weekend aswell, but undecided whether to have them on runners or not. oh and i need to sort the fuelling out
this week i will be mostly praying to the rain gods for a dry weekend! :hail:

Re: My mk1 track car blog

Re: My mk1 track car blog
Yellow is ign live, you only need the 3mm wire, that runs all the ign lives you need.
White is starter, again a 3mm cable.
and white with a red trace is fuel pump on the valver side.

Re: My mk1 track car blog
lol, well mine started and ran with those 3 conected... the other one you need to do, depending on what alt you run, you need a ign live for the alternator.

Re: My mk1 track car blog
ah right, yea you need an ign live on the regulator, there are 2 connectors, say the alt is sitting with the reg at the top, you need the terminal nearest the block to have ign live.

Re: My mk1 track car blog
in total ive got 1 valver ecu and 3 172 ecu's
no idea what sort of working order they are in :S i need to send one of them off to RStuning to be decoded, once ive done that and got it running the others will be up for grabs
ive also got the loom that came with the engine, but as i said earlier certain connectors have been chopped and then rewired at some point, alhough the lad who had it before me said he had the engine running using this loom

Re: My mk1 track car blog
right, did a little bit on the clio this weekend, but nothing of any an great consequence, mainly due to time and money issues, ie lack of both
but i took some pics of what ive been doing for the past couple of weekends..
gearbox mount all sorted
clutch cable connected up using soft pedal fork and bracket
abs removed and i measured up my brake lines so will get them sorted this week
alternator mounted up
dash butchered :evil:
oh and indoor swimming pool fitted
sunroof has been slowly letting water in, so i've just been out and sealed it with some silicone, hopefully that will stop it!
and thats about it, got my gob round the fuel rail and gave it a blow so now i know i need to fit my fpr in-line, and i trial fitted my induction kit...more on that when its complete.

Re: My mk1 track car blog
cool - im just having a nightmare with my valver ever since clutch cable snapped. i replaced and pedal felt totally weird since then clutch and fork have been replaced, i can engage i would say 50/50 but the pedal constantly changes feel from being hard and not selecting gear very well to soft and engaging correctly. doing my sweede in (sorry to hi-jack thread) only thing left to change is the pedal unit. its just completly bizarre was all ok before cable snapped, thought it was wrong cable but work (reno) are positive its the right cable
