What kind of LCD have you got mate, I've had mine working with a serial LCD and a standard hd4470. any chance of a link?

http://viewitem.eim.ebay.fi/Serial-...le-Display-For-Arduino-Blue/300736978496/item

This one I ordered, now I have been reading quite much arduino.cc but almost every topic is over my level of coding or they are talking about those 3 wire versions. This one have 4-wires to arduino uno. 5v power, ground, and SDA and SCL (those takes analog pins 4 and 5).

That test code don't work with Arduino v1.0.1, found one topic which said that that old coding works with v0.22.

 

[Muzza1742]

Yeah I see what you mean, I've not got any experience with I2c stuff. Arduino 0.22 software's fine though if you have to use that, the only thing they changed were a couple of programing calls and comparability for some if the newer boards

 

[Muzza1742]

it should all be the same lcd.print and and lcd.setcursor calls. have you got the wire and LiquidCrystal_I2C librarys installed in the right places?

Should be. I download one new LiquidCrystal library. Have to monday how it works, coding seems to be quite much "harder" than regular lcd with many wires. I'm so noob with coding and C++ but trying to learn it.

For examble I don't know where this number 254 came in Serial.write(254). My LCD is 4x20.

Finnish winter -25°C and water pump said KaBoom... First notice that car loose expansion tank max to min in 3 days. Then found that it leak to ground and at friends work we lift car up. Damper wheel was wet so it has to me water pump. Timing belt and parts are only 50 000km and 2½ year old.

Lucky that I have friends at couple garages and have connections to part importers in Finland Ordered parts today and can pick them up tomorrow after mid day. And manage to get garage time for friday

Brembo brake upgrade money went there

 

[VT86]

Waterpump and tensioners and belts are new and car works fine again.


Snow, Snow and more snow is quattro roaring <3

Does someone know that will 17" rims fit with Brembo brakekit ? I measured rims yesterday and if measurements are correct it will be damn close fit.

 

[Jii]

What kind of brembo's do you have? lcr brembos, gt jr, gt on something bigger?
I got gt jr with 323mm discs and few set of 17" wheels that go on easily.
If you don't have anything yet, i got set of ibiza cupra 6l ap racing calipers for sale.

Just bought Brembo JR GT kit. I hope that it will fit it use 323mm disc, almost same kit as LCR kit.

Next step is to get Koni coilovers to service and try to find vacuum/boost/breather leaks.

 

[VT86]

Get rest of the stuff

Missing only one brakeline and some small stuff.

 

[Jii]

I have same set on my 4, it was the last 799e set, that your employer sold at 2008.
In have set of 17" ibiza cupra r 6L and 6R wheels, leon cupra r 1M 17" and 18", 17" ATP Twist's and 17" Braid typ H, that fit over those brakes.

And what comes to Koni coil over. It's rubbish, you can go low, but not stiff. I sold mine after 2 weeks and got BR Racing coilover which is great.

 

[VT86]

Jii: Let's hope that guy at Motoral can fix my Konis so that they will be stiff enough and I'll rise car up something like 15mm it's way too low at the moment


Spare time at the garage

Wash and wax can't wait summer

Catch can system

Is there any point to do catch can ? Any problems in cold weather ? I'm so bored to those splited breather hoses and random misfires.

I know that oem hose size is around 19mm (~3/4") but I tought that I'll use AN10 size hose ~14.3mm (9/16") is that too small or just fine ? And is it better to loose hockey puck and use atmosphere breathing for the can ?

 

[VT86]

DP or not

Car will be out of road for week. Plan is to remove Koni coilovers for fixing, install steel skid plate, add power cable and RCA to trunk and possible install DP and Decat.

Last one is thing I need advice, that is there any use to install one with K03s can I achieve something with it?? (Running custom map which allows cat removal)


Also ordered Sparco Steel braided brake hoses

 

[VT86]

Ou and breather get new custom part

this

to this + some AN fittings

 

[Jii]

Don't do the decat, it's waste of money and you don't pass MOT.
Oem DP is the most restrictive part in that exhaust system, not the cat's.

Decat is included with the kit. Before mot I have to install Magnaflow small race cat. And haven't found better DP which will fit to oem cat (and ain't so damn expensive)

Taking car to parts

New undertray (steel)

Then front coils off

then lift whole car up and rear dampers off

Going to take those Koni Coilovers to service, let's hope that it will help

 

[VT86]

Coilovers are ready from service. All adjustments are fixed and front coilovers bottom valve are changed to harder one. Should be something way different than normal Koni coils Rear shocks softest adjustment is adjusted to same setup than Koni Sports

New 3" Downpipe and Decat are ordered.

 

[VT86]

Test drive was great. Suspension is softer but stiffer, damn nice. Have to rise 10mm-15mm from front and 5mm from rear still.
