Surprisingly how tired your arms get holding them straight up

While i was fitting the gearbox bolts the wife sneakily took a few pics.

Lots done today but not enough to start her up as yet. Gearbox is in, starter fitted, clutch line connected and attempted to bleed it. :( Single piece prop fitted mostly (missing two bolts, no idea where)

First part now fitted

So now the CAN BUS issue is out of the way the parcel from UPS arrived and i've got these to fit now. Hopefully no more issues and i can get the gear box fitted, starter and the other remaining parts done.

New bus cabled made after i botched up the last few; hopefully after identifying the fault this should work first time.

Now fixed, Turns out the cable i purchased that said it was a genuine link can cable wasn't. The cable colour order was incorrect so after i found a genuine looking cable i managed to reorder the colours. Plugged it in and hey presto its working.

Not so sure as I've followed the setup of how it communicates with the ecu. Im sure it's just a cabling issue.

these :

Has anyone made a can bus cable for any sort of project ? Trying to setup a can bus link but i keep getting errors as follows on the tuning software : I've made this cable twice now and can't figure out whats wrong.

Made your pictures as links, its the image hosting site that's not letting you link directly. Cables look like injector cables, the pink one looks to match the connection used for the oil pressure sensor.

Were you somehow stuck on the default vbulletin theme perhaps? Need to disable that.

We never changed anything, we attempted but decided to go back. What issues are you having? The selling system hasn't changed in 3 years now.

So the sensors are coming through the old cat sensor holes. Just need the rubber bungs to seal them in.

Also started to wire up the new lambda sensors Spent 2 hours making up a new canbus loom and fitting it under the carpet. After hooking it up the ecu couldn't see the can modules so I'm guessing I've done it wrong.

Brakes now bled.

Christ how small is it ?

As requested .007 will now be known as Chris300 Seems he has grown out of James Bond now :)

Hi all, A favourite past time I was into was the CB radio. Unfortunately with advances in internet technologies and communications CB radio is not gone but greatly depreciated and quickly disappearing. I have been following a new craze for some time now and I think its something we can all get involved with nationally and globally. Basically what's been done is to take the inners of a android phone and put it in the design and case of a CB radio. Coupled with a few apps for android you can now use Internet Voice Chat over 3G/4G and wifi. Its basically like a reincarnation of the CB radio with the bonus of been able to chat all over the world. - What my plan is to do is to create our own Private Internet Chat server to use TeamSpeak or equivalent services. Then any member on here can chat to each other live like CB radio. No investment is required for you to join in on any of the channels as you just install the app on your phone or pc. But what I plan to do is to install a INRICO TM-8 shown below : This will connect via wifi to my mobile for internet but it can take its own sim card to be independent. Its a small investment of £160 but it will allow to chat to anyone on the system no matter where I am. So if this is something you could be interested in let me know.

Got it in one!

So I think my new build finally has a name. Done a quick search and no one that I can see has used it previously. Two things bring the name to mind and even though its a masculine name its been used for females too. First is the name of a computer in a sci-fi tv series (not hal) Second is the name of a character created by a famous British singer (now deceased) Any ideas ?

Could it be possible that when the pipes heat up and expand it seals the leak slightly.

Ah, They are not bypass as you would think. They join the front aluminium water pipes to the block. When the water gets up to temp the valve opens and lets water flow to the radiator.
