Failed brake upgrade
Alanz bought those i recall,they were ds2000 ferodos intended for a van that had been ground on the edges to fit the caliper.

What does this connect to?
ignore that plug.Thats an american loom and will have some plugs the uk/jdm cars dont use.As your fitting a boost controller,cut off the unwanted plugs and tape up the wires to keep the engine bay looking tidy.It is possible to do the inside part of fitting the loom with the dash in.fiddly but possible.

Engine stand bolts and mounting
Get a winding one,its much safer.Only paid £150 for mine off Snap on.Its made by blue point and winds 360 degrees so you can set it exactly where you need it.

The Madmax help and support thread
The big black cylinder is the brake booster or servo.They seldom go wrong so should only be replaced if they wont hold the stored vacuum pressure.MJP on here can sort the cylinders for you.

Just get new ones Martin.They are not expensive.But if you wish put a kit in the clutch master but not the brake one,i wouldnt risk it with a car of that performace.

i like what he has done to this bumper
Are those wheels impul? :tt1: they are sexy!!

Neutral switch pin?
Wire it to the gearboxes neutral switch as it should be.This way the car knows your in gear and starts to advance the timing.Grounding it will just cause the ecu to think your in neutral all the time.

wood / carbon dash
My thoughts exactly !! Hideous:thumbdown:
-
Neutral switch pin?
You need to wire one side of the switch to earth and the other to pin 44 on the ecu.

Awesome Driving
Power wise he nailed it,but in the handling he wouldnt.The falcon used to race rs1600 mk 1 escorts.The falcons always did well on the straight but the escorts could take the bends.I admire anyone that can navigate 2 tonnes of pig iron around a twisty track.

my car is a slow starter
The fuel system does have a non return in the fuel tank.to check its working undo a fuel pipe ten minutes after a run.If you have pressure its doing its job.

Look closely at the back bumper!! its home made using patches,prolly old ice cream tub lids.The guys obviously very handy,heres his gauge pod,defi aint got nothing on this .- Insane bmw find
The beast resides in Whitehall which is on Eastons doorstep.So literally just up the road from where i work :yes:- Insane bmw find
Take a look at this gem ive found in Whitehall,Bristol.Funkis going to love this machine,To be honest who wouldnt.Obviously its work in progress and not reached its full splendour :lol:- Quick brakes question..
Have you priced up new ones,You dont need the bells,just the outer disc.Youll need to measure the diameter.Those discs are not made specific to the car they are just sold by dimensions.You swap the new disc onto the old bells.Once youve got the dimensions google them.They are made by AP racing.- ford diesel problem
Yes mate,one you crack off the offending injector the noise will stop.It will need re furbing.Shouldnt cost more than £100 i should imagine.- ford diesel problem
If its diesel knock and NOT common rail,undo each fuel pipe in turn with it running till the knock stops,if it doesnt then it may be the pump or timing.If it starts good then it prolly isnt timing.It wont be because an injector is in wrong,they will only go in one way,if it was leaking past the injector it will make a chuffing sound as air is forced out. - Insane bmw find
