One step Closer now:..

Cars getting Picked up @ 4pm on friday to be trailer up to stockport for the Downpipe to be made up..Ive requested 1 EGT Port & 3 lambda Ports...

So ive taken the Front Bumper off to give me something todo & Started to clean it all up Around My FMIC & engine Bay as it was Covered in Oil From were ive been Working...

Im Just Confused on which Lambda Sensor Went were I did right it down But its gone Missing...I know theres 1x Brown Plug & 1x black Plug i just need to Now which colour is Pre & post lambda...

Another question ive got to ask...Do the Sequence go Like this:

EGT Sensor
Pre Lambda Sensor
AFR Senor
Post Lambda Sensor

Can the AFR Sensor Be a few Inches Behind the Pre Lambda ?

Also Some Piccys...as usal :D

Thanks Mate means alot..

Its defo been hard to say the least due to having to source the parts my self which has taken for ever lol...Ive had a bash and to me its a personal achievement by far which is what its all about and ive learnt alot doing it a hell of alot..

Don't get me wrong i could'nt of done it without the guys on here as thats what made me do it even more due to massive amount of help & advice that i was given when i became stuck..

But putting the conversion together is very straight Forward just fiddly as hell....Once the Downpipes Done it will be nice to see what she drives & Sounds like once i happy with that i can start on the next phase which is My engine Internals & Methanol Kit...

Im Hoping for good figures But i just want it to drive well and keep Me pinned in my seat :D:bleh:

Very nice Danny,

You change your mind more then i change my underwear.

Should be worth it when its running spot on and you can use the car to its full potential.
