CL10 CYA project

[Sean.R]

Good day today
Picked up the new seats (new to me) from Renomotive
He also sorted me out with
Bonnet stand
Horn
SW rear strut brace
And a rear beam
I have the PMS strength kit - I also had this on my last RB
So plan to recon this one and swap out

Lobe the seat and the red stripe should fit in well with the cage.
Just need some seat mounts now if anyone has any
And some Sabelt harnesses






Also, I bought a new sun strip must be spending too much money

 

[Sean.R]

Few more hours on this and I should be able to start painting - forgot how much time this stuff takes.

 

[Sean.R]

New metal sheeting has arrived to make a new hear shield up



I start my days off this morning
Hoping to get a pile of work done while kids are school next week
Heat shield
Washer bottle replacement
Fuel pump wiring and plate
Engine rust treatment and painted
All engine bolt on parts painted and fitted
Interior completely finished
Stack wideband fitted
Sheared clutch bolt removal
New wiring loom made up and fitted
Batter relocation kit finished
Run engine bay fuel lines and FPR
Polish up fuel rail and TB

 

[Sean.R]

I was questioning my life while cleaning this
Painful










See what it's like in the morning
Few other bits in various states of paint
Really starting to get board of this painting now and I am off the garage beers for awhile so makes it more painful

 

[Sean.R]

Ok. What to wrap the loom in??
What have people used in the past??

I am currently using some fabric tape but the original stuff feels more waterproof and I feel it looks better
Any advice appreciated


That's the original stuff

 

[Sean.R]

Had a trip to Renomotive today
Complete impulsive buy definitely don't need them and should be spending money on other stuff
But wow I love a bit of carbon

Still sitting here admiring the carbon with a beer

 

[Sean.R]

Drivers side done
The door pull left a visible bit of the white door foam - so stuck a wee bit of carbon film over

 

[Sean.R]

The dreaded electrics - slowly starting to tape it all up - let's hope it doesn't give me any other issues
And kinda hoping everything will go in around the new routing of the wire





Going to stick the fuse box on the back of the air box



Starting to run out of space on the bulkhead and still need to get a wideband plug through

 

[Sean.R]

Fuse box on, first test with the battery hooked up and stuff seems to be working so that's a good start with my history with electrics.
Great kit from duct3d





Still cleaning this engine. Almost there



Tomorrows big Job
Sorting the engine loom out. Have a fresh loom to hopefully modify to fit

 

[Sean.R]

 

[Sean.R]

First job of the day while I wait for my electrical cousin to arrive


Will hopefully get the main block painted for Friday
Big rugby game to watch Saturday

 

[Sean.R]

So loom day
What a long day that was
Garage was down to 0.6degc today with the sun on the garage
So took over the kids play room

Was not as straightforward as copying over looms, then we made a mistake of not marking a couple of same coloured wires before stripping the plugs down, so then had to hunt down wire ends etc
Anyway got done in the end

The end result

 

[Sean.R]

However - don't want to celebrate to early

But while in the old loom a wire fell apart in our hands it was split and full of green copper rust
Traced it back to the ECU plug - the wire feeds "ignition locking relay"


Once we had finished the loom. We test fitted it in the car

Using both the replacement UPC & old UPC - if you remember the jumper wire the auto spark put in place to get around a relay not switching.

New upc - imob light on
Old upc with jumper wire - imob light on

Reader showing fault with ECU - basically no engine etc

Never had the ECU fault before, it only showed UPC multiplex fault (could not see an ECU)

So I reckon I have found the wiring issue - hopefully




Doesn't look good at the point
But once the engine is back in I can start re routing the wires and tidy it up

 

[Sean.R]

Cousin 200 - looks bright even covered in salt


One of my main hobbies is cooking, so when mates are over I always stick a good spread on to say thanks
Tonight's helpings was OTT chilli (best chilli you will have)!with mexican salad & pit beans

 

[Sean.R]

This heatsheild stuff is a nightmare
But hopefully work out ok
Ordered some flexible alli to stick in the middle

 

[burrellbloke]

What size and how much nimbus heat shield did you use? I have been thinking about replacing the knackered black fabric heat shield in my Clio.

 

[Sean.R]

Had to go with the middle size.
I will grab a pic of the remaining sheet once finished. But I don't think the smaller size would do it

The black fabric stuff just fell away in my hands.

 

[burrellbloke]

Thanks.

 

[Sean.R]

A night away from the garage, building Lego cars with my 8 year old

 

[Sean.R]

Not much left mate,
So definitely that mid size as the right size
