About 8 easy hours to fit the loom, quite enjoyable snapping on those connectors wink

You can do it without removing any of the dash.

The problem is my grounds are all wrong so could he still build me a loom if the original wiring is wrong .

The new loom has all new earths so no problems there.

Make sure you bolt them securely to the rear of the nearside head.

Just tried a cautious start.
Battery crap and didn't manage much frown

Hey ho will buy a new one.

At least it has a lightweight hi-torque starter.

How do you get to that area ,It`s impossible. Do you get to it from underneath ? Does it come with all the ends made like the one for the trigger sensor.

If you mean the back of the head Daz? My 95 could be accessed from the top with a ratchet spanner but the 99 has a revised bulkhead so I used about 5 extensions and a swivel head from below and back, a bit of a fiddle!

Just had the car electrically and electronically fettled by Shaun, (MS2Tuning).

Everything checked and the map tweaked.

Bad points,

Ride height low
Dampers set far too hard.
Stupid standard seats are like sitting on a sofa.

Good points,

Super warp drive + sounds like a messerschmitt.............biggrinsmokin makes my 4.6 feel tame, makes the Boxster 2.5 I drove last night seem like a hatchback, (although the build quality is something else!).

Generally,.....................................megahappy smile

Excellent news.
Get it tweaked to how you like it and let me know when you are ready to 1/4 mile test it.
