Yepppee.

Well done mate.

Always a good feeling when you can drive it on the road legally.

Just need the weather to pick up a bit. But I bet that won't stop you popping out with your new plates!

It's been a while since I posted an update, still not turned a wheel in anger - but with good reason, I accidently ripped out the old ECU and bought one of these:


Then I found I was up to by eyeballs in this:




Then thought "I should do this properly" so blew the budget on these:

Default Engine sensor loom progress

Although still not quite finished, here are a few photos of the wiring loom in progress...

Each wire has been colour coded with heat shrinkable "idents" to allow easy diagnosis of problems and allow tracability throughout the system - it also allows you have 100+ different colour codes so you never have to have the same coloured wire twice

Wires all coded up, crimped and ready to be inserted into the connector


The motorsport connector (20mm diameter!)


Close up of the sensor ends of the loom


The engine loom ready for the sensor connectors


Just need to finish off the sensor connectors then there's 8 other loom sections to build!

Looking good Chris.

I know how you feel. Takes a lot of time to do the wiring and get right.

Trouble with the wiring is, once finished and looking neat, people don't realise what work has gone into it and the amount of hours involved.
