well hears the car when i pickd it up last wednesday





a few pictures next to my mates mk2 kr on r1 bike carbs
















anyway so hear gos i pickd up the car on wednesday as an unfinishd project its had a full respray in midnight blue with crushed ice pearl metal flake ( i really dont like it ) but its a really good spray job
the car has smooth big bumpers and rubbing strips all removed and shaved door handle ( another mod i do not like)
it has a raylle front end witch i do like but not to keen on doing the wireing and the indicators im not too sure on the law on those haha ill have to get around it sum how

the interior is shocking lol half the plastic trims missing the dash surround is broke as the mk3 dials have been put in shockingly cut all gonna be changed may go for the strippd out look really not sure yet ill probably change my mind

then engine as far as i no is fine but i think im gonna leave it in rather than pull it out the car has a starting problem so need to get to the bottom of it also the rear gearbox mount is broke well theres a bracket with 2 17 mm bolts into the box its broke on the mount side tho

right then today i wanted to get to the bottom of whats up with the car as it apparently had a starting problem and also i wanted to no how the things been wired up so hear gos


theres the ecu i take its obd1 as far as i no as its a distributer type engine aswell

first thing i pulled out was alarm or the imobaliser witch is screwd to the floor underneath the drivers seat haha wasnt impressed with that at all to be honest


the fun part haha i think as far as i no its the mk 3 fuse box i no there very similar in the later models but a few things to do with the wireing i havent got a clue also need to find out what the broken red plug is and what wires goto it also the amount of fuses that were broke must have been when they wedge the fuse box in







right thats the red plug that i havent got a clue about


also found a single relay like plug that i havent got a clue about ill get a photo of that when im with the car again

the car seems to have 2 lots of wiring for the headlights that arnt wired up i need to find the right plugs for the raylle headlights so any info would be great thanks




and the wiring i pulld out

this one is a fella loom with relays nut it wasnt for the raylle front i think maybe the original grill may have been twin lights and they wanted the sides and the main on at the same time ???????? not sure

right then todays antics didnt really get much done to be honest bolted up the front bumper hears a pic of the paint up close ive actually decided i hate it haha






right and also ive found a wire and a relay plug that im really not sure what it is its on the ignition side so i think it could be fuel pump or starter motor and also a plug that has no wires to that i need to identify as it stopping me start the car i think

 



hears the plug thats nakerd





and i swear theres a more relays missing





and hears a few of the wiring of the fuel pump





and a 1 of the underneath
