A few things; last couple of bits of trim I need to replace are on their way from ScoobySpares, thanks Scott Local gearbox build firm are going to call me Monday about assembling my rear diff. Gazza from GR is going to phone me later today about my gearbox...no photos though.

I think I've decided on what I'm going to do with the flocking too...

This weekend is pretty much written off for the car as I'm nut deep in swapping my stairs out. DIY sucks.

A brief update...

Gazza has started on the gearbox, due to be finished for Friday.

Diff is going to Teg Sport to be checked over and re-assembled, thanks to Mr Blamire for the advice.

Swirl pot has been sent back to Forge to have the bracket moved, massive thanks to John at Forge for helping me out

Just had a call from John at Forge; swirl pot arrived there this morning...excellent service

Pallet for the diff is looking like it's going to be around £50 from speedshift, unless anyone has any other courier recommendations?

You are probably right if I add everything up Jura but I'm bl00dy stubborn so will shut up and take it

Me too Simon; one less thing to worry about, Mo is coming over for the first crank so another big plus. I may end up having to go to Jap Performance for the loom

I would have vacuumed the carpet if I'd known my pictures would be posted up here

As far as the DCCD loom is concerned, the main battle with any loom is identifying the connectors. If by any chance someone could lend me a DCCD loom - or in the limit take a set of decent photo's of the connectors etc - I could almost certainly recreate it

didn't even notice the carpet

I think Jura is right, could be a got bit of kit to offer people...but you would have to offer two variants for classics; pre-facelift and facelift. The pre-facelift is a separate loom with a dedicated plug for the DCCD display in the dash. Facelift is a pita as the dash display is incorporated into the OE loom, there are some useful pictures here courtesy of Crice. I'm going to give you a ring about knocklink LED extensions tomorrow anyway Tim

Blimey, time flies when you are rebuilding your house too

More bits...
My JT Innovation bits arrived, thanks Tim


new bits from Tim too; Knocklink with LED extensions. I am going to stick the knocklink in the top cubby hole on the RA dash and run the LEDs in the clocl cowl as before so I can adjust it correctly without fannying around. Serial cable adapter for the ECU which will also be housing in the cubby hole for ease of connection.


Swirl pot back from Forge with new bracket so it can be fitted to the bulk head. Excellent service from Forge.


Mechanical oil prssure gauge to replace previous electric version; far more accurate.


Engine bay bolt kit...well I may as well


Newage handbrake (thanks Neil), and new gear lever boot to match the S202 wheel


Interior should be with Phil at Flock It! on Tuesday and rear diff at TEG Sport Monday. radio surround, gear lever surround, handbrake surround and centre console top are all at Wick Coatings and should be done next week. Progress; kinda.
