had few hours on the car today as got few new bits so put them on:
brand new injectors as the old ones werent surplying anuff at full boost and get a gd trade price so worked out cheaper new than rebuilt.
new hoses from from ecu to d/v an inlet.
fitted all my hoses and built the inlet side up with all new gaskets and other little bits.
fitted new black plates looking very illigal but very nice lol:P
then came starting it up but nothing the starter wasnt working afta finding that the starter wire was loose and all melting it worked and runs v smooth just needs a good set up now.
now just gotta swap the old toad alarm with my new toad ai606 with few extra sensors that shud be fun as the wireing is a complete bodge tbh but all will be good wen im finished any advice on fitting that alarm with the window closure sensors?.
will hopefuly be taking to some shows this summer and a blast round the track

Well hello decided to take the dash out today to make swaping my alarm ova easyer due to the engine wiring being very messy and i carnt stand untidy wiring there no excuses for bodgeing it tbo.
so took the dash out to find this hmm Now were to start lol
most are just just cut off haging loose so no idea were they go of for wat so iv borrow my mate haynes manual for a bit of help
also found a bit of welding under the window screen but its all looks very solid under there and the floor due to new panels so 1 thing came good of ripping it out.
