1) black/red (thick wire)
2)black/yellow
3)blue/yellow
4)blue/green
5)blue/white
6)blue

Now i know i have a big postive cable which comes strait from the battery to the started and also spurs off to the alt. but i done knoe what else connects to the other conections on either ?

In the engine bay i also have a long wire which is red on the cav loom, i assume its the positive connection for the ecu loom ?

Its on the same bit of the loom as this dead end connector.

Any ideas peeps ?

Another quick question, behind the near side headlamp in the loom there are 4 wires spare. 1 really thick brown which must be an earth, a less thick brown ? a black and a thin green, hopeing these last two are ignition live and rev counter.

What side of the coil must the rev counter be connected !?!

What a mess:

^^^^Anyone help with them wires ^^^^

Anyway, got the exhaust sorted on sat morning, went very well i thought.

Started by fingering in where it might go !

This was all the standard cav dimention stuff to this point, bar a little bending upwards for a bit of clearance

I had 2 brand new audi a3 exhaust mounts that i put to good use.

Then i cut the first surport hole to hold the exhaust in position

Then i welded some more a3 bit to the box and got it in position

Next job was to get the pipe over the beam with enought clearance. Part of a seat leon cupra exhaust was used for this after being powder blasted.

Then i just put in a long strait pipe of exhaust ( all exhaust is 52 mm ID)

Back view, notice the clamp style join from the cupra.

http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/9/25007244320.jpg

Its got quite good ground clearance

http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/9/25007244288.jpg

When i welded it the thing has moved and i need to straiten out the box to the seat pipe.

http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/9/25007244216.jpg

How it looks now, it will be straiten out at a later date but i ran out of time.

Final bumper trimming done

Looks neat -- Should sound the buisness as well

Looking good - but don't expect to pass any noise tests at track days with only one box :)



Dave

Sh*t, didnt think of that ! Better hope the box keeps the noise down or chop another one in at some point !

ANyone help with them wires behind the headlamp ?!!

Had it turning over tonight. Fuel system next, so it may just be running at the weekend !

Spot on mate, cracking read!

Im away to start building a Nova hillclimb/sprint car although i dont think it will be up to these standards! lol
