#227: Re: ushers track project fully stripped and trimmed Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Wed Apr 23, 2014 2:40 pm ---- Economy? It's still got top and botttom mounts
#228: Re: ushers track project fully stripped and trimmed Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Apr 23, 2014 4:00 pm ---- It's there to make sure the air goes through the radiator rather than round the sides of it.

ittle update had a hr or so on the car, got the key barrel out and wired in the switch pannel i got for it, relativly straight forward think the imobilizer is not working as the key was outside the car without the sensor connected ??? wonder how big the range is on the sensor also identified side light wires but struggling to find the main dipped and indecators so might end up tracing backwards
#231: Re: ushers track project fully stripped and trimmed Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon May 26, 2014 5:08 pm ---- Why is it all rusty?
#232: Re: ushers track project fully stripped and trimmed Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Mon May 26, 2014 5:38 pm ---- I left it outside when I was removing all the sound proofing. Joys of working outside
#233: Re: ushers track project fully stripped and trimmed Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Sun Jun 08, 2014 9:47 am ---- little progress but it all helps
got the battery set up in the boot just needs neatening when i do all the wires
#234: Re: ushers track project fully stripped and trimmed Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Jun 08, 2014 10:18 am ---- I would have wired that straight through to the starter and alternator. All that wiring needs supporting too.
#235: Re: ushers track project fully stripped and trimmed Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Sun Jun 08, 2014 11:42 am ---- Yeah needs finishing as yet just main work doneevery thing will be sorted once all wiring has been done and all switched then I'll startto put it all vback in and clip all the wires down with p clips or similar. Might leave the fuse box in place of the glove box and have all switches in the centre console where the hu used to be and heater control
#236: Re: ushers track project fully stripped and trimmed Author: existenz, Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2014 4:08 pm ---- Nice !
I'm planning to put my battery in the back as well.
Is there a guide how to properly do it on a Gti 180 ?
#237: Re: ushers track project fully stripped and trimmed Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Mon Jun 09, 2014 12:02 am ---- basically what you see in the pics, it will be the same for the 180
i used welding cable 5mtr then put audio wiring crimp terminal on the end and bolted the + ive together and moved the earth to the chassis earth and re earthed the battery in the boot, realy simple
#238: Re: ushers track project fully stripped and trimmed Author: shell-vt, Location: durhamPosted: Fri Jun 20, 2014 10:25 am ---- still comming along nicelly usher.
#239: Re: ushers track project fully stripped and trimmed Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Fri Jun 20, 2014 4:54 pm ---- thanks next is to put the lights and wipers on switched and put it back together neatly
after i get discs and pads with seats fitted it will be caged, hopefully this year
bsi is now in the bin so more wires to be removed, lights and wipers to wire still
also took off bumpers and jet washed behind them and cleaned up the little parts involved, fog to be used as brake cooling ducts so cut away at the glass, noticed one tyre had gone flat which caused a nice big deep crack so the wheels will be sold on and new either td's pro race or 205 speedlines going for 15"
