What have you guys got planned? Certainly some ideas in the unique mod`s thread.

 

Plans for me:

 

Chipping the 16bit ecu somehow.

 

Fitting a boost controler.

 

Fitting the new wheels when they finally finish being refurbished.

 

Make a replacement boot floor cover that`s light and doesn`t rattle about, along with some little tray things to store stuff under.

 

The big plan that i`m thinking about is fitting a 99spec front, painting the roof bars black followed by a black 99 rear wing. Might have to photochop that soon.

 

Last is to tidy up some of the interior trim. Redo a few bits of the grey Alcantara

 

 

Edit: Forgot about sorting the tension rods out and some other bushes!

You'd be better off swapping for an 8bit ecu as you're going to struggle to find a chip otherwise - I'm not even sure any off the shelf chips exist...

hmmm...well.

 

June

- Lightweight flywheel

- Uprated Clutch

- one piece prop

- gearbox with short shifter

- Uprated oil cooler

- Stainless steel decat and elbows

- NA subframe - shotblasted and powdercoated, polybushed and refit it to the car with the NA 4.08 diff.

- 99spec bumper, impul sideskrits and take it to bodyshop to get them and the recently smoothed tailgate painted

- rear 4-point roll cage cut, welded, powerdercoated and fitted along with the seat harnesses.

- wire up the new temp and pressure senders to my Profec E-01.

- refit my alcantara retrimmed dashboard, and new leather armrests.

 

Get it Mot'd.....and drive it for the first time :hyper:

 

10 days left :o

 

July will probably be wheels and more suspension work....

Ooooooooo good thread, cos i've got quite a few things planned :D

 

Auto oil cooler,

Polished Plenum,

Lots and lots of bling under the bonnet,

Retrim interior panels in black leather to match my seats,

18" Deep dish alloys (which i refurbed myself), with spankin new tyres,

DTA silicone boost hoses,

DTA silicone rad hoses.

 

Can't wait to fit it all once i get my car back, i've got everything sitting there begging to be fitted :D

 

Also in the distant future when i have the dosh, manual conversion and brake upgrade :D

well mine is in the process of being done the now -

all bodywork repared and resprayed a new colour

leather retrim inside

ice install finished and fully up and running (that reminds me must get 150A fuse for it lol)

new set of wheels fitted

maybe a new dvd player and screens

mot and back on the road

polished plenum,

hard pipes, again in red

gauges fitted

replica 99 spec rears

cream leather the interior wi red piping

brembos wi forodo pads

driver side targa rubbers

Save up and get a new clutch, uprated flywheel, and fit it.

Yeh I keep reading about an 8bit swap, had to find a lot of info about ecu chips etc.

 

I find it odd though looking in the 1993 manual v`s the 1995 manual. Mines 95 and it has a signal from the boost sensor (under the nose panel) going to the ecu. The previous years ecu`s dont have this. So surely swapping to 8 bit is bad..?

 

JWT in the us will put in a daughter-board to enable chipping a 95+ ecu. I just don`t fancy sending my ecu on a 8000mile journey. Plus would they have knowledge of mapping it based on our fuels?

Lets see

 

Auto box oil cooler

Rear strut brace

Heater Matrix and hoses

Uprated radiator with new hoses and electric fan

Connect up water temp gauge

Pcv replacement

 

Should keep me going for a while, once i buy it all of course.

Not sure about a boost sensor under the nose panel tbh... you're prob best getting in touch with AndyP or John Dixon as I'm pretty sure they'd have a better idea than most - and can provide you with a chip to suit too!

That lot doesnt include things that need fixing.

I promised myself I wasn't going to spend any more money once I got it back, but it does need a few things which I plan to do.

 

Suspension work

Get it fine tunned and Mapped (depending on graphs from Dyno day).

Tidy up and repolish any of the engine bay bits that have been sitting around for 3 years.

Refurbish wheels

Upgrade brakes again (looking at 8 pots now) - more power = need better stopping

find and install amp so I can have my tunes back.

Fix traction control (think it just needs to be set up correctly)

Figure out why my remote start is not working.

Fit engine splash guards, get clock fixed, get working lighter (purely for sat nav charging)

Sort out under side of bonnet.

Refit all bling

Get it welded for mot, slight crack where aftermarket adjustable tension rods go

drive it, maybe clean it.........

Yep speak to AndyP, he does a postal service I do believe.

 

Things to do.

So how did you go about getting that then? I did wonder of asking JWT if they would send the daughter board on its todd and i get some one to solder her in over here.

taking it off the road!
