nazzurro19 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 now all thats left is put up a list of all the prices haha ive got a log of mine and so far its at around 1700 and stil got a turbo , ecu, and map plus a lsd box etc good times lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Yea Micky the longest bit was gathering all the bits I needed for the build then once all that was here we was good to go. I think it has taken us about 10 weekends to fully strip the car and rebuild it.Haha Im gonna do a spreadsheet of all the bits one day its up around the £6-£7k mark now though.

Idrees Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Awesome mate! It looks incomplete without a grill but doesn't look good with the stock one. Solution = Tom's grill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Mixed opinions then lolWell the guy didnt pick my car up for the exhaust today Will be onto him in the morning its the only thing holding me up now!!And no Kiran running standard injectors until its run in and ready for mapping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Just lowered the front of the car about 30mm and put the one Enkei on the front, looks alot meaner now Also fitted the backing plates for my harness eye bolts to the exhaust tunnel so now thats my harnesses completely secure.Started to feed all the wiring for my wideband behind the dash just need to get the old man to solder it all in, had it working anyway and looks good, hopefully my pod for it will turn up tomorrow then its a case of getting the bung welded in the exhaust then happy days.So now its play the waiting game for getting the car picked up for the exhaust, wont be impressed if I have to catch the bus to uni on Tuesday ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nazzurro19 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 if i was to test some gauges to make sure they work do i just need to connect red n orange to positive battery terminal and black to negative dya know dude? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 We tested the pins on my hazard switch as it is being wired into that.Red needs to be the 12v constant live, white is ignition live, black is ground and orange is the headlight switch so the gauges dim when the headlights are turned on.
