Received my new loom and upgraded MEgaSquirt ECU yesterday.

Tomorrow, if all goes to plan, I'll be wiring,fiddling, rearranging and generally having fun under the bonnet.

Since collecting this car it's been driven to the top of the road and back again so I know the wheels turn biggrin

Hopefully at some point this weekend I'll have it on the road again.

In the last few weeks I've,

Cleaned up the chassis
Renewed the lower swivels
Changed the brake fluid
Fitted braided lines
Fitted JE alternator bracket
Fitted a spare set of rocker covers
Cleaned up the engine compartment
Fitted a wideband boss
Fitted a tad more exhaust wrap
New ACT hoses
Insulated the intake
New larger K&N filter

No doubt a minor raft of other things.

Roll on the next few days.





And a reminder as to what I'm talking about.

Well, a productive weekend.

Fitted the new loom, relocated the ATS, fitted P38 coil which is supa neat!
Assembled plenum and all the other bolt on bits.
I even had a nice set of new yank leads in stock!

Then changed brake fluid for Racing spec fluid.

A pair of ipad piccies as I can't find my camera lead mad





Just got to connect the fans and battery and she should be good to start!

I have a feeling that the existing map will want tweaking as I'm sure mappers have learnt a few tricks since the MS install 7 years ago, we shall see.

I took piccies of the loom install and will post them up when I find the camera lead, what a donut!
