Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Loving the wheel! What are you going to do about the Cruise and Speed Limiter buttons?

Will a normal suede brush for shoes work on the wheel as mine has gone all shiny :(

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Lol my mum didnt go out and buy one, she allready had a suede brush for shoes.

Now i have ITB's i no longer have Cruse & Speed limiter control buttons, and because i have harnesses and buckets the airbag is useless, so i might as well sell it as it is in 98% mint condition.

WHEEL UPDATE:

So after putting my mint standard wheel up for sale and some people wanted it i thought i better get it off the car. So at 8:30 this evening i went out to the car and took the old wheel off and put my now one on.

Here are some pictures i had taken a while ago of the old wheel :)

I was playing russian roulet with my airbag as i didnt dissconect my battery, it didnt go off in my face so its all good lol.

Only took me about 20mins to take the old wheel off and the new one back on (i should be in F1 with those spannering skills)

Here's the new wheel :)

The interiour is SO gash at the moment i really want to tidy it up so the money i will be getting for the wheel is going to be spent of spray paint and i'm gona do the interiour soon.

Also desperatly need two new front tyres so i'll either be buying two more PE2's or two Spec-2's

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

I do want the dash flocking but other parts need tidying up before i do that.

I'm in the process of buying the K-tec mounts so they will be good.

I've got a big list of things to do once again:

Spray interiour black
Fit K-tec mounts
Tidy up engine bay a bit more
Spray rocker cover
Clean all pipes in engine bay
Buy two PE2's for the front
Trim loom a little
Fit my ph1 horn stalk
Make a flat floor for below the exhaust

Hmm i think thats it :S.....for now

I fitted the boss from K-tec Racing, the wheel is about 20cm closer to me that the old one one. Perfect position.

Although your fingers do miss the indicators which is a pain sometime untill i get use to it.

Looking good, just a shame about the starting problems.

Paradas will be fine in the wet as well, just as long as you don't go hooning over standing water.

Cheers andy, i dont suppose you can think of any reasons why the car just has no power anymore? All fuses are fine all earths are fine, battery is fine.

Do you know what component the yellow fuse looks after?

We changed the fues for the 15amp didnt we because the red wires were in the wrong place and i couldnt stop the car when running. I think the component might be fried and thats causeing a brake in the circut and therefor no power.

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

SORTED!!

Multi Meter - £10.00
Battery connections - £3.00
Mates that know more about electrics than i do - Priceless

Cutting a long story short, the problem was the connections on the junction box from when i had relocated my battery.

My friend did say 3 months ago that it was a bad connection but i thought by taping it up would make it better, but it didnt.

Anyway we connected all the corrct cables up to the right places and all the power came back. So over the next few days i will be doing some soldering and making sure all the battery connections are all tight and correct.

Such a relief that its this little problem, thought it was the Omex or somthing expensive.
