Dan_GTi8v, 20vt project

well needless to say it isn't running yet lol

Messed about a bit with the engine bay today, wired up the alternator and finished up other bits like connecting the starter and checking all the grounds are done. Managed to get the air intake into a better position behind the battery, think I'm gonna put the coolant and water bottle on the other side, then I can run some ducting for the intake around behind the battery and hook it up to one of the lower vents

Also ordered a load of silicon hose from apmotorstore.com, a bit cheaper than siliconhoses.com and has the other bits and pieces I need like some radiator hose and vacuum piping so ordered it all from there, should be here on Friday so if I get all the bits in the drivers seat done it should be a pretty quick job once it arrives.

Fitted the throttle pedal today, I'll finish up all that lot and I'll update tomorrow with pics

forgot the camera yesterday so pics will come when I'm finished today. All my piping came today so will have a look at that as well. forgot yesterday was a bank holiday 

pedals are all done now just need to run the brake and clutch wires for the ecu to the brake light switch and installed a new brake light switch to the clutch pedal so it knows when its being pressed

Having a minor issue with the brake switch though, when I reconnected it all up to the servo the pedal seems to not travel back up as far as it did before so it doesnt quite reach the switch, which puts the brake lights on constantly as it thinks the pedal is pressed. see what happens once the brakes are bled and vacuum is back on the servo. fingers crossed

On the plus side though I turned it on yesterday just for a few seconds to see if it was all done right, started first time!
