Didnt do anywhere near as much as I wanted this wkend but did a couple of bits.

Needed to join the battery wires together running from the boot so made a joiner, will work just need to insulate it.

Drilled a couple of holes in a bit of tube and threaded them.


wires in each side, screw them down and all good




Gauges in



Fitted the EBC into the vent looks a bit better now



But going to be a little while before I'm back on the road again, lol.



Got side tracked removing these ready for fitting, got door cards hand rest everything ready for fitting

Did a few bits today but have been waiting all wk for a innovate lead so I can connect the 2 gauges up. Then can log info from both gauges. It turned up and they sent the wrong f**king lead so the plan of having them all wired in and dash back in place this wkend has going out of the window! 

So stripped out the rest of the seats and started putting in the leather seats

Seats everywhere






Decided not to to put the fronts in yet gives me more space to work in.

Welded the earth in for the battery





Got some touch up paint somewhere and paint it up. Now have to send back the other lead and wait for the right one to arrive!

At least I've got the next project to keep me busy in the meantime  Major part arrived today

Well after yesterday failing with the oil pressure/temp sensors, tried again today had to take the front end off again



 

Anyway got it all fitted in the bay and back together



Dash all back in




Gauges in and afr calibrated




Then fitted all the rest of the leather seats





As you can tell its very dusty in the workshop and its gets everywhere and over everything so first thing will be a good old clean once shes out.

[jonrandom]

Little bit sorted, mounting bracket for the catch can







All painted ready to go back on



Just waiting on a new key fob now to hopefully get this car back on the road for good.

Cheers mate, me either! 

Havent done to much on it recently between work, sorting the mrs car then my work van needing more repairing I just havent had time. Have got new oil still to go in and have got the oil drain plug to fit the oil temp sensor in. Will sort it this wk.

Havent done a lot recently just trying to sort the car for mapping.

Have a few problems still to try and sort out but its hard to tell what is down to it not being mapped.

As it is, it wont run with the maf pluged in. If I unplug the battery it will work once with the maf pluged in the next time it wont start really at all. Unplug it then its all good.

Still had a bit of juddering before boost kicked in with the EBC so ran actuator pressure and it ran better but thank god I fitted the afr!

Took it to 4.5k and the reading was high 17's! Wont do that again or its game over, no boost until mapped.

Going to get a new maf sort out the fuel pumps and maybe fit the bigger injectors and see what readings I  get and go from there.
