should mean you don't have to buy teh ignition harness if you go for teh right one.
stil missed off teh european breakdown cover
and leave passenger seat out so you can everything back
Quote from: "markiii"replace nuts with nylocks
nylocks on the exhaust bits would seem like a bad idea to me - the nylon will probably melt..
Oval nuts would be a good one, though (single use, they deform to grip the stud by becoming round), or use the old trick - one thick copper nut followed by a thin half-thickness copper nut wound on to the back of the first.
i really wouldn't fit the chargecooler Phil, this could create more problems than its worth for Gas, i'll fit the rad for you but do the guy a favour and dont fit it.

eekk didn't mean exhaust I meant intercooler brackets and that kind of thing

Ahh ok.. I'll shut up now s:) :) s:)
You: Passport, Driving License, Logbook, Holiday insurance, Camera & phrase book, card PIN numbers, GBP cash (you never know what it'll buy you!), Map/GPS European Maps, Wig and medallion s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Car (optional): Cable ties, Gaffer tape and basic tools - just in case. Euro breakdown cover - again, just in case (and you generally have to notify them in advance that you're going).
re. IGN harness - Gas doesn't map IGN as standard, but I'm guessing you've arranged to have this done?
Worth making sure you have the latest firmware upgrade for wideband too, but this is available online.
Follow-up activities: bring back Ste's sandwich plate and haggle for a MAF-TB pipe for me?
Quote from: "spit"Car (optional): Cable ties, Gaffer tape and basic tools - just in case.
9 mm to 12 mm box wrenches and a couple of screw drivers should do it. Gloves as well if you end up having to work on any hot bits.
I'd also go with a smaller hex ratchet socket to tighten the jubilee clips if necessary (6mm I think, or is it 8?) - so much easier on your knuckles than using a screwdriver s:oops: :oops: s:oops:
Work on hot bits - ?
I honestly wouldnt have a clue, thats a risk I guess
Phil, definately get yourself a pair of welder's mitts: They're pretty much heat-resistant, and if a bolt or clamp comes loose on the way back, you'll definately need them on to work anywhere near a hot turbo/exhaust.
Trust me on this, I had to do some emergency repairs about 30mins after leaving Mark's house the first time after my install. They're only about a fiver anyway, and will be worth their weight in gold should you need them.
Whats in the european car rules ? triangle, first aid kit etc?
Also who said they can lend me the stuff? was it you stu ?
Ill call the aa tomorow i am a member already.
twas me, I have bulbs, and warning triangle and tow rope

Don't panic Phil, I spoke with Gas last night and he is expecting you - he is just ridiculously busy at the mo making bespoke parts for fussy C2 customers s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
I need those bolt sizes or ill miss the boat so to speak s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Folks have been using the 3M window weld for the motor mounts as well. There is a write up on Spyderchat somewhere...

Phil knicked my unfitted kirks mounts today and is going to replace them when he gets his delivered, fingers crossed, no window weld s:? :? s:?
Phil,
If you want a OBD reader, I can recommend a Car-Pal from Vital Engineering.
http://www.car-pal.net
You can use it with a PC, Pocket PC or Mobile phone with blue tooth. With the laptop software you can even record 0-60 times s:D :D s:D
Quote from: "spit"- he is just ridiculously busy at the mo making bespoke parts for fussy C2 customers s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Would that be me? s:oops: :oops: s:oops:
The bolts are M8. My english is not good enought to unserstand what you want to do with them, but I am sure we can lock them for you not to get loose.
Gas, let me know the best way to keep these bolts locked on, as Markiii who has the Hass kit had his bolts drop out and he ended melting half his engine bay.
Cheers
Lee
Gas just to be clear the studs I had a problem with sheared, and were manifold to turbo
What we use now is the cast iron manifolds with studs and not bolts and locking mothers. Does it help?
I am suggesting a drilled small hole and some "cable??" thru in it like on race applications. Easier and faster solution to point weld them after install.

Loosing the turbo bolts would couse less air and run rich in mi view.

No I think you're sorted Lee - Gas is fixing me up a sandwich plate.
Phil, Gas's cast manifold arrangement sounds like you should be OK. I need to get me one of these - although a little realignment of my DP will be required, and maybe an adjustment of the turbo brace. But after seeing how welds can crack I think this will be a good investment.
Has anyone got any pics of the cast manifolds (Gas?)? Very interested to see one s:) :) s:) (sorry Phil, slight drift!)
I'll second that, my box of goodies should arrive soon but I'm too impatient! s:roll: :roll: s:roll: Pics pics pics! s:D :D s:D
My cam was stolen 2 weeks ago. I managed to get one today. Making pics sirs s:) :) s:)

I saw one that was a drive accross america it was so cool.

Can you remote fire your camera? Timers are easy to build. s8) 8) s8)
(you actually have an adjustable timer in your car, the heated rear window is through one)
Phil,
think I may be younger than you, I just took the insurance company paper, my identification and drove...
s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
P.S: Ups, took bro also... s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
Phil,
if you need me to help with the exhaust it needs to be tommorow evening or thursday
Markiii if I get the kit tomorrow or thursday, is it worth me popping by with it so you and phil can have a look. Hopefully tomorrow as i'm overexcited s:D :D s:D .
if you've got it tommorow then yeah go for it
I'll PM u my mob number
Be interested in getting some pics of the manifold and revised downpipe/cat/box assy if you got a mo Lee.
Enjoy!
Ste
Woo hoo passed my MOT

Lee!! Make sure when you get the kit to check the manifold inside. No slugs should be left in them. It is better to check again then shorten the life of turbo.
Not long gas. how are we looking ? s:D :D s:D
That manifold seems very strong... s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Very nice Gas.
.......driiiiift.......
Does this mean we need longer studs on the cylinder head now, or are you using extended nuts?
Gas,
quick question, since this is cast how difficult would it be to weld on 02 bungs? granted yoru kit doesn't need them but I'm toying with something
cheers
Mark.
I wwould rather drill the right size of holle and cut the right thred in it. It would hold fine. Since it has been heat treated any welding makes it sensible on cracking.
Guys I need a good used or new inexpensive suspension kit and wheels with drag radials or with drag tires. Please help me or my car will never run good times. I allready almost killed myself 3 times after 2 days of use on my MR2. It is extremly dangerous to have that much power on the stock susp andd tires.
Thanks in advance
Gas
Mine has teins, Gas, you can see what they are like next week.
Quote from: "philster_d"Mine has teins, Gas, you can see what they are like next week.
Could you breing your stock ones along (if you have place for them especiall the rear ones) I am pretty sure something is just not ok on my car, but cannot figure it out what.... s:( :( s:( (
errrk Engine light came on this morning on the way to work.
Could that be related to our exhaust change last night ?
It was fine all the way home from marks.
/Philster.
possible
you have a code reader near you phil?
looks around F$%^ I knew i needed to buy one arrggggggggggggggggggggggggg
2 days until hungary !! ffs
fs
.........and breathe
Recomedations for a code reader ? with next day delivery available preferably or even from a shop ?
Philster
Where are you working? I'm not too far away.
Hampton
Coincidence. I need to go to Hampton today, to get a quote on my damaged side skirt. Do you want me to pop in with my reader? Can make it near lunch time if you'd prefer
any time bro would be realy appreciated.
Earlier is better I have to go to the bank later and transmitt my life savings to Gaspar s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Ok PM me your address there and I'll see you in an hour

O2 sensor heater circuit error.
We (tom s:) :) s:) ) have cleared it for now.
This club totaly rocks, I had help in the last few days from no les than about 5 differnt members.
You guys definately rock!!!
Thankyou,
Philster.
Bizarre, Philster - I lost a heater circuit a week before install. Maybe they know what's coming........ s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
No biggie for you if its stuffed - car should run fine for now & it'd be wise to switch to just the one after install anyway.

curiosu which o2 sensor heater was it?
Sorry ODBC virgin here. Tommy may know ?
I presumed it was the wire near the cat we were pulling around? maybe
anyway cleared now.

Time to put a WB in me thinks s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Error came back this morning. About the same place in the journey.
Assuming its the same error, again didnt go on in the evening on the way home ?
Is there an easy way just to clear it, without resetting the whole ECU or borrowing a reader ?
Only 2 days to go now.
weather looks good I think we need to loose the hardtop s:D :D s:D

If it's the 3rd (post cat) sensor then it runs on a time / start routine, so only comes on every other day IYSWIM. It doesn't affest the running of the car at all, so providing it's the only problem you can ignore it - a code reader / battery pull is the only way to reset them.
I took my HT off yesterday as well s:) :) s:)
As someone else also had both o2 errors after getting their new exhaust ? i wondered.
Do you think its as a result of the banging needed to get the old one off?
might be worth removing them while you do those bigger jobs if that turns out to be the case.
Phil
Well, i set off tomorow.
I just finished my DJing s:) :) s:)
Up early, good night.
Phil.
Good luck Philly, have fun! s:D :D s:D
Enjoy the trip Phil, would love to see your face with the turbo on the way back matey! s:D :D s:D
Happy trails me old mucker. Enjoy your trip.
