Don't... I put that in like the week I bought it in October! Even when you saw it it wasn't plumbed in..

Anyone want to donate me some braided hoses for Christmas? ;)

So today I pulled my finger out in the pissing rain, put the v in the garage and finished of the FPR install.

A pic half way through running the return line..

All finished and plumbed in;

Set the pressure to 2.5bar, which is I believe 0.1 over standard? As I'm unmapped I decided it would be best to run it slightly richer so atleast it's not leaning out.

Next up I had a issue with the seatbelt symbol constantly illuminated. It would flash constantly at me. I checked the obvious and straight away found no sensor under my seat, no idea why. There's one under the passenger but not on mine. So I just popped out the bulb thinking it would be the easiest solution.

Although, removing the speedo cable. What a absolute cnut. Never again!

Happy with the overall outcome of today's morning. A quick snap I done after.

After Christmas if I get around to it...lol

[TurboTobz]

Your soon learn the art of speedo cable with these

[Liam_D]

Believe the seatbelt sensor for the drivers side is in the top part of the belt somewhere you know where it bolts to the b pillar?

Oh really? I presumed it would've been under the seat... Oh we'll problem solved now haha!

[Liam_D]

I might be wrong buddy but if you pull the belt about half way down I'm pretty sure the light goes off

[TurboTobz]

Yeah I think you'll find the belt light comes on when the belts pulled out so would be behind the plastics possibly at the bottom on the reel

[Zeldoz]

Right, that's annoying considering I've removed the bulb. But atleast it's gone away.

I think I'll remove the plastics on a rainy day when I'm bored next week. I already plan on freshening up the bay by spraying some bits. First being the bonnet latch, surface rust gallor!

Basically been as useless as New Orleans home in a storm this holiday time.

Done nothing to my car! Although, i spent Saturday fixing a friends EJ civic and fitting his coilovers. Its a shame, he won't swap his grids for my slipstreams. I want them so bad!

Clutch update; 5th cannot boost without it having a meltdown. 4th same as above. Working its way onto 3rd now.

Get paid tomorrow and will be buying my exedy. Still debating just settling for the organic stage 1 @ £259..

Decisions!

[GlanzaJim]

You got a pic of this civic with the rotas? What colour are they now? Cause a new one comes black dont it?

[Zeldoz]

Same colour mate. You can buy them in all colours. He just replaced that one wheel!

Looks lovely now! I'll upload one soon

I don't think I will... If I do, I guess I'll have to buy a new clutch! Organic I'll be buying when TD reopen!

[Adam-Gt-]

I'm ganna whack a paddle in mine just so I no for sure it can take it the abuse I give it

[GlanzaJim]

Got a bargin cant believe it l

[Zeldoz]

So.. I just reluctantly bought a clutch along with a TD fuel pump.

I cannot fault the customer service you get with TD. Mike is an absolute legend. Spent about 25 minutes on the phone talking me through my options and what else i may/can do before my re-map. I eventually opted for;

along with my final piece of my jigsaw before re-mapping;

http://www.tuningdevelopments.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=502_520_590&products_id=201

I believe i know have everything needed to get a map. Now, i need to decide between E-Manage blue and E-Manage ultimate. I dont think i really need launch control etc.. So i think i would be happy with E-Manage blue.

Opinions and comments welcomed! - I'll get an up to date spec list of the car soon as it's changed drastically.

Thanks mate!

Looking first week in March for mapping. Will be buying a TIAL wastegate end of month!

I'm hoping for high figures, but I'm sure 220+ would be phomonemal!

[Dan Barnes]

You should get that mate all the best !

[Amjad]

Do let us know where you pick up the wastegate. Currently planning my next turbo setup and don't wanna be shafted on it!
