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.

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!

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

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!

Just be done with It and get a paddle clutch you no your forge it and will have to buy another clutch to handle more power

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!

Posted

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;

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.

This car has changed so much !! Keep it up man

Emb will be fine :) looking forward to see what this produces

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!

Posted

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

I know. If I'm honest I'll use Iddy, should be sound threw him. It not, TD where everything else I buy is from!
