TeflonTom · 23-05-2008, 15:20

almost ready to go back on

TeflonTom · 25-05-2008, 00:59

went to the scrapyard today and got a few little connectors so i can make up a wotsit for the wideband lambda reader when it arrives

turned it into this

TeflonTom · 25-05-2008, 01:01

had to make a small modification to the wiring loom also

not going at all at the moment

the exhaust is still not on because the mounting rubbers were shot, so i have to wait till they arrive before i can re-fit it

TeflonTom · 25-05-2008, 16:34

started stripping the interior today!

TeflonTom · 25-05-2008, 18:13

more progress

Tom_vRS · 25-05-2008, 18:36

You going to drive it standing up??

cheezemonkhai · 25-05-2008, 20:07

I'm guessing race seats and minimal sound proofing plus a few other bits to strengthen it.

TeflonTom · 25-05-2008, 21:17

even more progress

TeflonTom · 27-05-2008, 00:13

trying to figure out a way of bolting in these bad boys, hopefully it should be possible to re-use the existing seat frames/runners

TeflonTom · 27-05-2008, 16:16

there are two different types of exhuast mounts

cheezemonkhai · 27-05-2008, 17:26

Hmm the right one looks like a fiesta one, but then they are just big elastic bands.

TeflonTom · 29-05-2008, 11:39

zorst is on

hopefully the wideband lambda reader should be here tomorrow

Leeboy · 29-05-2008, 13:07

Which will go faster, the Felicia in the foreground, or the petrol lawn mover in the background

Nearly together then. Any progress on the seat rails?

erm not yet no, i'm kinda concentrating on getting the engine running properly before i do anything else... i have made a few measurements of the oe seat rails and i think i'll machine up some pieces of ally bar to fit

TeflonTom · 30-05-2008, 12:03

it's here

TeflonTom · 30-05-2008, 14:56

made short work of installing that

TeflonTom · 30-05-2008, 14:59

then performed some electrical jiggery-pokery with my £25 ebay laptop...

calibrated the wideband sensor and set-up he output configuration, then flashed up the emerald ecu with the new settings for the wideband

TeflonTom · 30-05-2008, 15:02
