Starlet Nath Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Nice to see a decent update Nath Things certainly seem to be moving better now that you've cleared out the garage.Keep it up mate. Not too long now!Cheers Jozman,Hopefully things will get moving, I'll get the looms off and modified. Take everything off and put to one side that I'm keeping and then I can transfer the engine onto a small pallet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet Nath Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Well a quick update for tonight,I'm adding some more labels to the wiring looms, all the connectors are removed from the engine :harhar: I've pulled out the loom that comes out of the passenger side into the engine bay.I've just broken for some tea, but my plan is to remove the loom that comes out of the drivers side into the engine bay and pull the engine loom through the bulkhead tonight Anyway I'll get back to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Coming along nicely Nath, are you shortening the loom? Few grams to be saved there keep it up :harhar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Nath Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Coming along nicely Nath, are you shortening the loom? Few grams to be saved there keep it up Yes thats right Toby, I'm slimming down the wiring looms, No A/C, no radio, no ABS and maybe no heaters Anyway I have managed to do what I set out to do this evening, the engine bay loom and fusebox is out and also the engine loom is out.An box full of wiring loomsTomorrows task: dismantle the dash :harhar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 sweet man what car is the loom from 96/97 or 98/99? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Nath Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 sweet man what car is the loom from 96/97 or 98/99?Its a 98/99 spec loom mate, I still need both floor looms as yet The one that goes along the drivers side and the one that comes down the middle, so anyone who knows where there is a 98 spec that I can get those bits off I'd be well appreciative :harhar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 98/99 V or UK n/a?the one with climate control or switches?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Nath Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 98/99 V or UK n/a?the one with climate control or switches?!Si are you having a blond moment? I have removed my looms from the front cut which is a 98 spec V, yes it has climate control with switches rather than cables to adjust where the air flow goes to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 dont suppose ud swap it with me? because mine has the push buttons, so would save u that job and i wna fit the push buttons, save u doing the trimmage of those parts?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So would need fixing, but I assume you'll need the loom for the engine bay as there will be additional wiring for powering the electrics that operate the flow flap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I have no problem with you coming up to mine, its just something you'll have to bear in mind :harhar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Nath are you cutting out the dash and re-installing or are you removing completely in favour of something like a stack dash?Again loving this project always keeping an eye credit to the forum mate T Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure whether I will get a carbon fibre dash manufactured, or just make something out of alloy. I will be using a Stack dash display unit, as for the heater I will be ditching the starlet one and getting something smaller, simpler and lighter but still utilising a heater matrix.
