Thanks Ant :)


Ive had lots of threads running in the tech section recently and sorting various bits out so heres a few pics. Sorted out my rain leak :) Stripped the car and in the process repaired all the little niggles, broken bulbs, screws missing etc etc . . . So thats a nice load off my mind and the dials can now be seen at night which is always a bonus :)

So set about sorting the leaks out, one was coming in from the Wiring loom grommet and the other from the foam seal around the blower motor. The blower motor got a good dry off and some silicone and now is water tight and the carpet was out in the sun for 3 days and is nice and dry too :)

I saw the grommet and it looked like this . . .

Image

Which got me worried cos i thought it might have all gone a bit crunchy :/ but once i got it sanded down a bit it turned out to be very little . . .

Image


So rubbed it back to metal and sprayed over it, then once dry, refitted the grommet with silicone as to achieve a tight seal :)

So no wet carpets any more, and everything is in working condition :) Put the car all back together after giving the carpet a deep clean and all is well, although putting a carpet back in is defo not a one man job, JESUS CHRIST!!!


So yeh thats where im up to at the moment, still needs lowering and a slip diff then il be content for a month or too :) but next on the list is to sort out this suspect looking selector bush :s . .


Image

More soon . . . .

Thanks

Ant supplied the chip for 120 and i fitted it to my current ecu so no cost there. Well worth it , pulls all through the rev range and really torquey mid range :) Bit expensive for a chip but noone else does them for old high comp's.

really happy with the condition of the floor tho :)

What camp site was you at in le mans? I saw a white e30 then was there with a 200sx that was next the pitch next to us. Also we was sitting opposite where you was! I got a nice pic of mcnish's crash in mid air.

Have you got around to getting it new suspension yet, or decided what route you'll be taking with it?
