well work started again today and im quite pleased with what i got done today.

the plan was to carry on with the wiring, what i nightmare :Hammer

didnt take to many pictures as i need to remember what was what as i get easily confused with electrics :o

sorted out all the starter motor and alternator wiring and tidied them into a bag all labeled up




then moved onto stripping and cutting the wires out that i dont need from the fuses and relay boxes and labeled them as well.





all these need to be fused in a separate box, still undecided on where to put it yet



and these ones need relays and will be hidden some where else







and the handy wiring diagram that i printed off the net



and this little lot that got ripped out :2eek



and my intercooler that i got earlier in the week




does any one know what the (TEL) and the one above that is for?? the one above has rubbed off and i carn\'t read it.

thats all for today folks :wave

bloody hell mate i didnt relise how bad the inside of your engine was, dont know how i missed your old thread so much!
 
and you got some work to do there like lol!

[karl_tate]

yeh it wasnt too good inside there lol

keeps me busy haha

not done much today as i dont feel very well at all.

ive uploaded a little video of my water pipe connection on the rear of the block and was just wondering if there should be some kind of gasket/washer inside?? it moves quite a bit more than you can see on the video



oh did i mention that i got my spanking new motor as well

[steven_c]

looking good mate

[karl_tate]

thanks, any help with the water pipe??

[BlitzBoy]

I just stuck my on and it clips into place like you have

[BlitzBoy]

nice porting by the way

[karl_tate]

ok cool, just didnt no weather it was right, with the bit of movement. yeh it is rather nice

[karl_tate]

all the wiring is pretty much sorted apart from the two that i dont know what they are, some one must know, come on guys :Giggle

have been looking at my options for fuse boxes and relays but still undecided.

any one know of a good place to look??

hopefully going to take some bits to get polished up this weekend as well

[Bobbit]

Looks like you\'ve been a busy little bee fella. When do you think you\'ll be back on the road?

[karl_tate]

yeh mate, busy busy lol, not sure when to be back on the road but early 09 i hope.

little update.

havent done much this past week what with the festive season and plenty of beer :mmmm

got my wheels and a pair of R888\'s
think they will transform the look of the car from before.








also bought a polishing kit off ebay to give the bits i want doing a go but i dont have any patient\'s for things like this :Snoring




tried a little part of my intercooler and it came up quite good but not to the finish i would like so im going to have to think how im going to get all the bits done.





then moved onto sorting the rest of the bay and removing bits in preparation for spraying. took bloody ages and i still havent finished :2Rolleyes





i also took my wastegate apart to see what spring i was running and found that the diaphragm has a few marks but im not sure where i could get a replacement??




i have also been trying to find the right relay and fuse box i want to use but carnt find the one that will suit my needs :mad:

thats all for today.

[ENVYD]

hmm love those wheels! i have the rota copies as i didn’t not have the money to by the real things lol!
 
looking forward to future progress! keep up the good work mate!

[karl_tate]

i dont have an as hardcore offset as you though

i really carnt wait to get it finished now but its a long way off.

[steven_c]

looking good my friend, will be ready soon

[karl_tate]

yeh hopefully :Thumbs-up

just the wiring is taking so long as it just goes over my head.

then will be moving onto spraying the engine bay then the motor can go in
