looking good Jon...those are some very nice shiny thing you have there

 

well i didnt think the gator was that shiny but hey

 

The black bit you have left dangling is the airbag link and the indicator cancelling system.

 

Check you out geezer with fancy coilys, when they going on then john boy, i'm going to have plenty of time free over next few weeks if you fancy a hand

 

steven - figured that much but what do i do with it? it cant stay on but what about the airbag system?

wiggy woo - when arches are painted etc so loads to crack on with.

 

lol, true, hows about fluffy?!

when I swapped my wheel for an MY03 I swapped the air bag connector (black ring), but my airbag light stays on. I've read a few different ways of making the light go out but I've never got any to work...could be I messed up though, I'll have another crack at it at some point but have a couple of other buts that need finishing first. You could always remove the bulb form your dash.

 

True, however i got a resistor with the boss kit just not sure how id plug it in, as the bit i wana plug in, must go? lol!

 

there's information on NASOIC somewhere I think...share it if you can find it Jon

 

There is a boss kit that allows you to keep the black unit on the columns when an airbag system is used. I think you have maybe taken the cancelling unit off when you didnt need to.

 

thermals on ready for 1 night this week then, i neeeeeed to do something with cars the bloody house is doing me in

 

well i know someone is gonna shout at me buttt....the zage 18g will be coming off in favour of a Lateral Performance MD304 from mr Mad Hammer - cheers clive.

yes i am mad but the characteristics of this turbo were what i was after originally when looking for a HS380, i think this will make the car a ton more responsive and safely run the power i want on this block/gearbox.

Ps the black thing from behind the steering wheel no longer exists time to hord some whiteline bits now! started stripping the alloy arms and bust 2 bolts so they need drilling out but its far too cold to be handling cold metal atm! man i hope i get my xmas bonus this year or else i arnt gonna be able to live this month haha

 

I have a zero sports intake elbow for sale if u want it with hose to fit maf £50 plus postage

 

nah if you read back i had one, and sold it. and now have 3 meters of 3' alloy tubing to do my own CAI. the whole MAF thing is temp just so i can test fuel pressure, and make sure it runs.

 

few things have landed. MD304 from clive is tiny compared to the 18g, but hopefully its not all about size, and all about spool instead! cdf front d/links and pitch mount came too. should have an oil feed coming and with 2 weeks off hopefully some more progress!

 

Don't worry about the size mate, it will do exactly the job you want and make very good power

 

MD304 bolted up, PITA with a silicone inlet

CDF pitchstop


A while ago you may remember this big alloy tube


Well the past 2 days its been transformed. what do you do if you have a classic, a fmic, and want a CAI kit....you make your own. Excuse crappy pics it is minus 5ish round here atm

Take one mahoosive filter

Mock up where you want it


Cut Said length of alloy tube

Cut a big hole in your wing

Measure and cut some random angles of more tube

and a bit more, numbering so you know which goes where

ready for welding up, it will be in 2 halves + a silicone joiner due to it been impossible to fit through the wing in one.





then i filled some carrier bags with some of the white stuff we having been having tons of, and put them in your boot. this freezes the glue on sound deadening and makes the job lots easier, wants cleaning up now with meths.



jacked car up, front discs swapped from earlier schoolboy error and begin suspension swap...only a teaser more to come

ohlins vs BC


hopefully lots more to come very soon

 

Looking good mate !

 

Hell of a lot of work for a cold air feed.
Wouldnt you have been better to just have the filter located near the drivers turret. Looks to be plenty of room there. You'll get plenty of cold air there from the holes in the inner wing. Also the location of your filter with the pipework will be vulnerable to water ingress and sh*tting up fairly quickly.

I can see you having problems with that i'm sorry to say.

 

not as much work as youd think daz and the car isnt going to be run in sheet weather anyhow

it will be alright lol

 

nice progress Jon

Bit of advice, don't sell the Ohlins, I've driven a car with those struts and they are lovely...you may end up swapping back from the coilovers

 

Dude, Fancy lending me one of those for a bit extra discount on the Alk??

 

Thats what I was thinking....

 

those ohlins running some of these new Whiteline strut tops would be fantastic n the road.

Whiteline Com-C Camber/Caster Strut Top

 

they dont have the adjustability of my coilovers though, my coilovers already are much softer and having to back a couple of hours ago from finishing fitting them, iv gotta say i love them youl see why

 

no problemo YHPM

 

just pricing up aero catches, as im gonna do a quick release front bumper the list of things to do is also decreasing. want this thing running, mapped, painted & road legal again for late spring/early summer. Then part 2 can start.

 

Looking good mate
