Re: One Year on & £**** spent
After making a mess of the engine bay by trying to figure out what the problem was i spent today tidying it up a little. Mainly just the wiring and then i can get on with cleaning it and painting bits.
Here is a pic before i started to mash everything
Then after i had made a mess of everything.
Now here it is after todays efforts.
It might not look that great but its about as good as its gona get
Today i also started to white sprit all the tar/glue so i can get the interiour sparyed but it was taking ages and got bored so i have left it for another day.
I just need to get my battery back from my mate who put it on charge at work. and refit one of my trumpets and i can take her for a spin

Re: One Year on & £**** spent
dude what about all the plugs etc for your ecu? they don't appear to have any weather proofing at all?
a human is only as good as its brain, a car as its ecu....ie, if a persons brain fails / dies..the person does....

Re: One Year on & £**** spent
What should i use to protect them? Do you mean put the ECU in a little box?
I thought the ECU was semi water resistant?

EXACTLY...lol, any electronics in your car / engine bay i would want as water resistant as possible, surely with open wires about they aren't going to be that resistant

Re: One Year on & £**** spent
Arrr i see, The ITB's are really really easy to fit. The the end of the day it just undoing parts and bolting new parts on.
I think it woud cost about £500 to have them fitted by a company.
If you buy some i'll fit them for you for £450 bargin

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Re: One Year on & £**** spent
Thanks mate, i will deffently take your advice and find a way to keep her little brain nice and safe from H2O
The problem was the poor connection from battery, starter motor and omex loom to the junction box. So it's all fixed now.
Took it for a little drive last night with my mate and had wheel spin at about 80-90mph over some mud near a farm. fully shat myself and made me remember why i only really drive fast on track. Nearly threw away 10k :dead:

Re: One Year on & £**** spent
So last night a mate wanted to see if he could catch a photo of my car spitting a flame. Its his new camera and he's not that used to it yet.
Any way on the way there i drove infront and my other mate followed me in his saxo vts whilst my mate tryed getting a photo.
It didnt really work to be honest, but our sprited driving made my brakes get nice and hot and the carbone lorraine's did there thing and were sparking loads under braking. He managed to get a few bumpy shots of the brakes sparking.
So we got to Castle Hill and as the exhaust was nice and hot i gave it a few little revs

He got one shot of mine just starting to spit some
And one of my mates 106 Rallye
Just a bit of fun really lol

Re: One Year on & £**** spent
Time for a new update i think:
Had my MOT last week which it flew past with no problems
Karma came back to bite me though
As you may have noticed electrics are not my strongest point and it turned out to an earth had vibrated loose and caused a short blar blar blar. Anyway the RAC man was an absoult ledgend and went round the engine bay putting new proper connectors on all the earths and earthing them properly. He even lengthened a bit of wireing for me to so the old look new loom and ECU will fit in a little water proof box which i will be getting soon so then engine bay should look a million times better and keeping the expensive OMEX dry.
I bought some CAF tubing around 5 months ago and it just been sat in my room for ages so the other day i decided to fit it
Jacked the car up, took the bumper off, removed those big block on the back of the bumper fitted the CFA's and refitted the bumper.
FAIL, the bumper wouldnt line up correctly and the bonnet over hung the bumper by around 2" so a few cable ties later and a volvic bottle all was good.
Removed the washer jets too and will be either making some blanks or just using a grommet lol
The orange wing mirrors was looking a little sorry for them selfs after RAF Mraham had stone chiped the SH*T out them and the whole of the car
So i sanded them donw a bit
And sprayed them up again
So once i've finished off the other wing mirror i'l put them back on.
I wanted the K-tec engine & gearbox mounts for ages and finally got the engine mount off Powey.
I knew my engine mount was a little warn but i didnt know it was as bad as it was.
So it turnes out if was fully F*cked and has made a right mess under neath it.
This is why
The New mount is amazing, the vibrations massages my back a treat and then car feels a lot tighter and is a lot nicer to drive.
I now just need the gearbox mount so if anyone is selling one then PM me and i'll take it

Re: One Year on & £**** spent
Oh i see, thats good to know as i did wander how it was so mint.
I did love it how i bought it but got the trackday bug and got a bit carryed away with buying bits.
I'll eventually get the bumper and bonnet resprayed so the body work will be mint again. I still park it on the other side of car parks and allways on the end of bays. Apart from stone chips the body work is still mint.
Oh and the brakes were fully shocking when i bought it off you lol
