One roll enough ?

[e30topless]

Nice work Mick,
bet your looking forward to driving this down the road after all that blood, sweat and cash spent,

Mine was great fun but with a 3.73 and dirty six box it was on the redline at 120mph what box are you using ?

[magpie]

using an m40 box from guy's touring,should be good for 145 mph ?

not sure on the box mick, whats the final drive ratio ?
your slipper is a 3.64 ? that should give you a bit more..

Jimmy dusted me in his Tech 1 at high speed when we were on a private road.....He constantly reminds me,

he seems to have forgotten losing at every set of lights ect...

what was the top end cook my good man?

i never maxed it out mick, i think the theoretical top speed is something like 145-150 but it might be worth double checking with an online gear ratio calculator.

the 3.64 wasn't half bad at all, a good diff for decent acceleration and a top speed.

good work Mick be there in no time keep the updates coming!

Cracking on well, not long to go now

[magpie]

got a job out of the way today i've been putting off as i've really not fancied doing it but had to,

fit the electric fan loom,with the help of the plug and play Geordie proof instructions i think i've done it right

blue relay is the one i used for the pic,



smaller loom is the one into the fuse-box unused grommet hole


test fit rad with fan fitted.




also adjusted the brake pedal bar and got the pin fitted joining it to the servo
.


i just have to fit the engine loom and get the Donk in the bay now i've ran out of reasons/excuses not to.
























i wish craig would hurry up and get his car running,he's holding me up

[craigieeb]

Awesome Mick,
looks like your cracking on fine without me







At this rate you'll be up and running before me

[shedrool83]

Magpie dont you need to fit two relay's.It one of Dan's looms isnt it?

[magpie]

yeah it's Dans loom,so i need to put a relay in the other space as-well then ?

[shedrool83]

Yeah i'm sure you do.
I have the same loom and fitted 2 relays but not tested it yet.
A quick pm to Dan will confirm.

[E30BeemerLad]

Yeah you should have had to connect upto 2 different relay locations, think it was Pin 3 and Pin 18 from memory but that may not be correct.

A relay needs to go in both spots mate

cheers lads,at least it's easily rectified

[Dezzy]

You got the brake bar adjusted then mate. Good work.

[DanThe]

I can see both wires are fitted to the relay space, just needs a relay to finish

[magpie]

Nice work Mick,
bet your looking forward to driving this down the road after all that blood, sweat and cash spent,

[magpie]

time for some auto-electrickery. and a quick swat up on the link provided by Lee

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... 12#1990612

i think these two wires are for the ews so not needed ?


not sure what the wire taped to the loom is ??^^^ it's not connected to anything so it's getting left alone.

looking clean in there and that water pipe is about to be cut and blanked.


spaghetti


does this pair of brown,brown/yellow go to the battery earth?[top right]


had to reclaim x2 thick red live cables and refit with new loom.


previous owner loom bodgery.


i got stuck here and plugged the tps plug in until later on when i found never had a plug left for the TPS.

so i take it this thing isn't used on the sump??



i've used this,what is it ?



i only had one plug with a single wire so it went here,


took the water pump out to check if it had a metal or placca impeller and found it was full of breeding crystals






cleaned it all up and re fitted it,i'll do a coolant flush before i add the anti-freeze.

end of play and it's ready to fit






next week it runs Hopefully


oh i have a green label and a brown label ecu what one do i stick the chip in ?

[craigieeb]

Looks like you've been a busy boy there fella

[Dezzy]

The two wires on the ecu plug end of the loom are for early chromie rev counter. Not needed in yours mate. Snip and tape ftw.

what's that thing on the sump Dezzy

[Dezzy]

Oil temp iirc. Dan will be along to clear it up.

[DanThe]

Oil level sender, ignore it as there is nothing in that loom or your car to connect it to

The grey wire is for the engine fault light, wire it up if you want to

cheers for that Dan

I'm tempted to wire that grey one up to a red light and put it in a blank on the heater vac but the coont will probs light up first start

oh what's this under the inlet it has a two pin plug?

[DanThe]

Wire it into the space in the clocks for the diesel start light, just need an old ABS bulb/holder with some wire

[magpie]

even better

did you see my Edit ^^ ?

[town325i]

Look at dans posh fuel guage bet most e30's on here wont hold that much fuel before dumping it on the road

[Dezzy]

Dan wtf is that fuel gauge all about. Must have been some time ago. Have you seen the price of fuel

[DanThe]

It was about 97p litre when that car was getting fuelled.
Im dreading getting the chromie out of hibernation, MOT, £200 tax and a tank of fresh fuel to empty my pockets on...

[E30BeemerLad]

The 2 pin plug under the inlet manifold is for the Air Inlet Temp sensor Mick

stop getting all Techy on me Lee,it doesn't suit you Sir

i think i got the loom right,having crank/cam on those related plugs was a result as i normally find the wrong way first

[Dezzy]

Dan is the multi meter, pin on ecu knowing hero there Mick. When I dropped my donk off he did that before I went down the M52 route to sunk more money away.

[magpie]

i'm glad of all the help from you Lads,All of you .

i'll tax it after midday on april 1st.

if Craig Cant Travel under his m52 poowah next week i'll kidnap the coont through the ppl carrier side loader,there's no escape !

[magpie]

sorry for this numpty type 'Q' but will i need to fit a 6-pot coding plug to the clocks
