Refit engine loom that i just picked up from Dan. Hope for the best. 2. Raise front suspension to give steering clearance 3. Find Speedo drive to suit cable. 4. Adjust Handbrake 5. Weld exhaust tip on back. Nothing lame. 6. Get wheel alignment to find out front camber? 7. Fit Seatbelts. 8. Make/trim/fit rear cargo interior panels. 9.

Chris.QCR Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Brought clutch m/c seals today. so will sort that out and refit and hope for the best. Sealbelts are all fitted now Also after alot of thought. & Stance King(Andy Gal)pushing me to change ive decided that my 185/60/13 s are destined as burnout tires and im gonna purchase some 175/50/13s Will solve all sorts of issues and allow me to run it nice and low.

Chris.QCR Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Also a mindless update with not much happening. After months of diagnostics with plenty of experienced folk helping out we discovered its was a continuity issue that was causing the bad running issue. Loom is now out and another loom is currently getting modified to suit. Still got to re fit clutch mc. Just a prick of a spot to get to so cant be bothered. Then save buy another set of 175/50s for the rear. Wont be going to track day either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Big Thanks to Kane for sorting out my loom and Dan(Kids) for sorting out fault codes. 12,21,43. 12. AFM. Easy. Replace it 21. Ignition wiring to secondary coil? Unsure on this one. 43. TPS.Replace So tomorrow im gonna pull the plugs out. Blast em. then change AFM over and see what happens. If still no go will test for fault codes and see if 12 has been elimnated then go from thee on the other 2 codes. Feeling better knowing the direction im going now. Not just running around like a headless chicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Soooo yeah i started working on this thing again! Removed dodgy engine wiring loom and the few parts i stole off Andy Gals car to try on mine. Brought new Stock loom ready for some love from a professional On the hunt for a stock Ecu As soon as ive got Ecu its off to the wiring man Then ive gotta track down some/save for a pair of 175/50/13 tires Finally get around to re fitting my Clutch MC and bleeding Then take wagon to Simon @ SURFAB and get full oval exhaust like Johns Cedric to avoid scraping noises So one thing at a time starting with picking up new loom on friday Will wash car on weekend and take a fresh photo! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.QCR Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Got RCA spacers fitted up. Have double checked everything on the car and everything checks out Have wrapped loom back up and mounted ecu and associated shit Ended up buying another Clutch MC as the thread where the line fits up to had cross threaded. Now looking into a braided line with banjo fitting at one end that will make life alot easier when fitting up. Everything is so tight at that end of the engine. Thats all thats required to drive this prick of a wagon! Then go for cert essentially. Which will have to be alot further south id say 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
