V8Pete Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Not really that exciting: Got Mi16 missing toof flywheel. M7 clutch cover bolts FTW! Ebayed two sets of Phase 2 tail lights and reverse lights... Silly arse sent one Valeo (top), and three Saxo (bottom) so I've only got one matching pair. Thought I'd make hay while the sun shone, but it got dark. Red = fast, plus they'll match the Jamexes in the front Factory colour is browny red and Wattyl Rust Kill doesn't come in browny red so it was one or t'other. So now I'm part way through 309 GTI beam refurb, and the car has no tail lights. Hope it doesn't rain tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Probably Megasquirt, but would like to hear opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 megasquirt's mean. I would go down that track but CBF with building the system etc tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Oh, and I don't know WTF the previous owners were up to with the tail lights. Most of the wires already had wires spliced into them, but the spliced in ones were cut off. Heaps of spare plugs everywhere, but parts car's the same. Do you know what that 6 (I think) pin plug thing on the passenger side is for - the one that just plugs onto a nothing block thing? Trailer wiring? Both cars had them. Will take pic tomorrow.

What's a Link worth? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... d=98367043 ~$1300 on a group buy. inc map sensor and 2m loom gay thing bout megasquirt = have to make own loom completely.. no real drawbacks though. I jsut prefer the link coz i don't have to make the loom. plus there's a bit more tech out for them in NZ. just more peace of mind fo me TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've jsut got a short loom to hook form phase one loom to phase two tails...... Na, plugs onto a plastic thing that goes no where on the inside of the inner guard (in the boot). I pulled apart the Ph1 passenger side plug and was just going to rearrange the pins and put it back together in the Ph2 orientation, and splice in the driver side thing somewhere behind that.

Loom can't be that hard With MS (and probably others) you can just have a fat computer wire thing going from the ECU to a relay box in the engine bay, and run all the wires from that. Saves trying to get them all routed and in one bunch to go through the firewall I s'pose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 hmmm..... damn it. dunno wtf that plug is too. haha. might pull a lamp out of minefor a look sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Ricing it up a bit... Reverse light FTWOFW (for CaM) Mmmm. I always do the least important jobs first. Hardest bit's pulling the wires out of donor car and routing them. Before/after I'll probably get rear-ended tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
