And so it begins....................
Discussion
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
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
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!

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!Edited by SILICONEKID343HP on Monday 23 September 21:11
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.............
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

I'll be visiting Surrey Rolling Road in the next week.
I must say a great "thank you" to Simon for today.
He worked tirelessly with me, (the apprentice) to right a few wrongs on the 5.5.
We did:
Changed the diff bushes for Polys.
Renewed all 4 cv gaiters.
Changed the engine oil and filter.
Renewed gearbox oil
". Diff. "
Fitted Leven drop links all round.
Generally fiddled about.
Oh and drank about 8 cups of tea!
Cheers mate
