good stuff, have you applied for apprenticships at magazines? id imagine that would be a great way to get an insight into journalism, do you write for a local paper? thats how old jezza started

not many insurers like under 21s full stop. ino my cousin had family insurance and got insured on a porshe cayenne at 17, and a 4l wrangler. so i dont see why you cant get one day on a gt

frikin hell, looks like it got hit by a train!!!! hope u get it all sorted soon

take em out and pollish them?

well after you remove some stuff should be a nice little car. get some pics up as i want to see the neons and decal as they may give us a laugh plans sound good for it. so what your first car then?

· Remove dials from car, ie: remove surround, unclip Speedo mechanism, and the three plugs. Do the following on both sets of dials · Unclip the bottom clips, making sure they are the black ones and not the clear ones. · If the dials keep closing, use a screwdriver to keep the bottom apart while unclipping the top ones. · Unscrew the two large gold screws, these are the ones surrounding the Speedo mechanism. · Unscrew the two smaller silver screws to the right if them (see pic) · Carefully remove needle, I found using a screwdriver was eas

If like me the solida clocks are not straight plug and play, and that the other sportif guides dont work then hopefully this will. *IF TRYING TO REMOVE DIALS, PLUGS ETC, USE MONKEYS PASEO HOW TO FIRST* First heres two spreadsheets showing what plug goes where on both cars, then ill explain the changes that need to be made. I found these out by tracing and following the circuit on the back (took a bit of time..lol) First the soldia Now the SR Now the changes that need to be made Changes to the 13 pin brown plug · Unplug both Temp E (9) and T (10) from the 13 pin plug ÂÂ

jesus, wow thats a lot of info, thanks for the responce. in the end i just traced and did my own wiring diagram as none of the others were working for me (this was on the clocks not the loom) and had to join a few wires and link some others. but it all works now so its allll goood STARLET N/A i tried using the other guides but for some reason they didnt match what i had on the back of my dials, ill put my how to up aswell soon. Tom

fuk me you took off a bit quick! sounds good

frikin eventually got the SR dials into the solida possibly the most complex thing ever...lol. so odd as a few other solidas have had SR dials fit in straight. ill do a how to for it in a bit, but it involves joining wires, and all sorts, anyway it all works now and its cool seeing the revs bounce and and the needles are soo much better got a few ideas, going to play with the old binnicle soon pics 2mz

awsome!!! i love the look of that engine. bet its not too slow either!!!

dam i wish mine were! doesnt matter now they were a bugger to fit, but i got it done

mines lowered on -40 P.Is. ive only done springs, they can be a little bouncy, and make the car grind on a lot but it looks soo much better lowerin the paseo on -60? are you mental? i know you dont drive yet but when you do you may regret that!...will look dam kool tho

sorry to keep on about the dials. wondering if anyone knows where else i can take a wire to get the reading from the tacho. someone mentioned the loom, where is it etc thanks Tom

ok cheers. did he seem to have any trouble when fitting them?

its very odd, im giving it another go this afternoon, maybe ill ahve some luck. the rev counter its not working at all though

dont worry, i wouldnt want someone giving my number out if hes sees it then he sees it otherwise it doesnt matter. Thanks anyway Tom

Hey saw you had problems with your rev counter, how did you sort it out?

haha, yer hadnt noticed him around much tbh. totally forgot he has done the conversion. if you could talk to him itd be great.

looking good, like the mirrors loads. PMd you a question about your dials with the vinyl, how tough is it going to be to take off, after being in the sun for this long....not that it needs to come off, because it looks good.

ok thanks for looking guys. spent all day in the car with several guides and had no luck.... the solida is different. well unless there is a problem with the dials. in the end managed to get temp, left/right indicators, fog, illumination...thats it though. have actually been in my car all day. ive got the guide thats in excel now so il give that a try, however i really need someone who has a solida and has done the conversion. anyone else had lots of problmes when putting new dials into the car, especially with the tacho etc Cheers Tom

this is driving me maad. i know 6 of the wires are in the right places but theres tons of em!!! anyone got those diagrams?

anyone got the wiring diagram as the ones on the site dont work anymore, as in the links are dead Cheers

you have to ping out the white bits i think. no sorry david the solida is slighty different, ill try using yours but it seems im missing one wire ? ill et you know how it goes

hey im doing the coversion right now, got to swap the wires around though now, however the wires in my solida do not match that of the one in monkeys how to. does anyone have the daigrams, or maybe has someone done this in an solida. icarian wings has but the links he had dont work anymore. pleeeasse help because i have all the dials out and its a bit crazy atm. Cheers Tom
