however, in the interest of safety as said use 0 guage and then a fused distribution block into 4 x 4guage and i would also use an unfused distribution block in the same way for the ground wires

#22: Re: ushers project (WIP) Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Wed Apr 20, 2011 1:25 pm ---- got the car back yesterday finally after a month of problems
gotta be gentle for a few hundred miles as yet so cant comment on the performance but the car is running sweet now only problem is there is some knocking as though something is loose / tapping when trying to start the car but not when running so will take it back to see what they think it could be but £160 for timing belt, water pump, cams, followers, aux belt and handbrake cables you cant go wrong also they had the car for 2weeks while waiting for parts etc
#23: Re: ushers project (WIP) Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Fri Apr 22, 2011 6:50 am ---- managed to do 200 miles since tues lol, had a blast today and noticed a slight increase in power in the region 3-5k sure they will work better with a re-map
#24: Re: ushers project (WIP) Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Mon Apr 25, 2011 3:20 pm ---- gave the car its 1st clean of the year (hangs head in shame) so thought i would try using my new machine polisher
how bad it was
i jet washed then hand washed to make sure i hade a good clean base
then went on to clean off all the tar that had built up
after this i set out claying the car ready for polishing
this is the result
i used auto glym SRP with the polisher and intensive tar remover and maguires clay

#26: Re: ushers project (WIP) cleaned update pg2 Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 11:45 am ---- lol i tried to get them the right way round but wouldnt do it
does look flat
next plan is to wax it and detail more ie door hinges and start on the engine bay
#27: Re: ushers project (WIP) REMAPPED Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Mon May 23, 2011 8:30 am ---- just got back from rs tuning where i had the car remapped and what a difference i now have a smooth power curve with correct fuel to air ration and gained 10bhp
overall im running near as damit 150bhp and the flywheel he tried to get it up to 150 but it wouldnt do it
graphs:-
before and after tacho was out though
before and after with fuel ratio again tacho is out my fueling was way out
after torque and hp one of the last runs did get 149.7 i think
after wheel power and fuel ratio
#28: Re: ushers project (WIP) REMAPPED Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Fri Aug 26, 2011 2:26 pm ---- bit late but this is what i got done before the french car show
morretts fitted after owning them for over a year lol
engine bay cleaned
before
after
then after these pics i decided to re paint the covers black as they were looking a bit rough
while at FCS i went on the track and cooked my brakes the discs were purple for months, stopped the anoying squeel you get from brombos though
so next on the list is the 406 master cylinder and braided hoses followed by some bigger discs probably have to be custom made not sure yet, after that next year im not going to FCS but the year after i am with hopefully way better suspension set up thicker rear ARB torsion bars and adjustable dampers Last edited by usher on Fri Mar 09, 2012 6:55 am; edited 3 times in total
