Tigz™ Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 more tomorrow when i'm at a computer, but before i forget.Drive shafts fitted.Rear panel seams bent over, and wheels fitted.Linkage stripped, and modified to fit closer to inlet manifold.Injector loom stripped from main loom and secured neatly.Fuel rail fabricated.Doesn't sound much, and car looks pretty much the same as when i arrived, but its been a lot of work.Perhaps a total of a 30 minute break, out of 13 hours work!There's still so much left to do.I need a week there really.

Tigz™ Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Ignore the ride height, the car is still sat on trollys.Pic of mine (1) red HT lead, its brand new, if anyone has a spare black lead please let me know.As I got stranded last night I stopped there, and started on the car again this morning.Decided to get all the audio cable laid, and start putting the interior in.The carpet and rear seats are now in, just didnt take any pics.

Tigz™ Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Cheers Noddy, would be great if you do.I ordered it from VW asking for a black Polo GTI HT lead, gave them the chassis number for my polo which has black leads.If Id asked for a red one, it would be black!Its hit me today just how close it is from being ready to start.I need to order a long throttle cable, wire the required sensors and away we go!Well, almost lolBrings me onto this though, went to see Mitch on the way home and had a good look at a Polo with 1.4 Lupo engine thats just been connected to a mega squirt.He's given me a great diagram, and showed me every wire.Hes also given me the sensor figures to save me having to test them!For my own benefit.Water Temp5 Degree - 520050 Degree - 1250100 Degree - 415Air Temp5 Degree - 660050 Degree - 3000100 Degree - 1600I owe you one dude, many thanks.Wiring loom on its way to you!

Tigz™ Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Im glad you pm'd me about those wheels Gav, they're stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC02 FFF Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 looking great mate, wht bhp are you expecting? With the rims, Will there be any issues with rubbing, / police with them sticking out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 anything around 160bhp I'd be happy. Regarding the wheels, both the front and rear arches have needed cutting, folding and flairing. Although they no longer rub, the rears are having arch extensions as they look odd sticking out the rears so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
