Ronin225's Candy rimmed Black LCR - Project 500-4WD, Cage installed and bigger turbo

[IH786]

Also noticed over the last few weeks its seems a little reluctant to start and after scanning the ABS module it came back with the fault 00688, supply voltage too low or short to earth, if i try to reset it clears but the handbrake light flashes and beeps then reflags the fault
I think im going to have to check all the connection and lugs from when the battery relocation was done, a quick search seems to point to the ground on the starter
Unless anyone else has any input on it

I have the same issue too. Let me know how you get on with sorting it

[Ronin225]

My lid turned up last night too
Following the Ronin theme

Its technically a motorbike helmet (doubt theres a difference between car and bike) and heavily padded so nice snug fit, 4 star safety rating and all delivered for £50

looks great with the red wheels.....bet it handles like a dream

Good price that, looks sweet mate. Yeah doubt there is much difference between a bike and car helmet. They both serve the same thing so all good

Where did you get it from mucka?

Nice helmet mate.......

I need to invest in one myself.

Cheers, this crap weather coupled with nearly worn out tyres means its not too good at the moment though

Would be a worthwhile investment for you too if you plan on more track time

Get it done, worth the money when you think how much it costs to hire one

That's why I got mine, and also because I don't like wearing brain containers full of other peoples sweat!

Did you get one with an integral sun visor? I bought a second crash hat with one built in because trying to slide sunglasses in was a pain in the ar*e!

Theres fire protection in a autosport helmet and believe it or not they offer a better safety rating then motorcycle helmets but not alot

 

[Ronin225]

I dont think it has a sun visor, just a plain one but i bet you could buy different screens to fit
However ive not really had a problem with sun in my eyes on the days ive done

Interesting
I dont think the fire safety is too important being as im not caged so an exit should be quick and failing the the marshalls are normally quite good

I've taken my visor off on occasion, I normally take it off for use in the car, and keep it on for karting. Wait until you come over a crest or through a bend and that big fiery ball is in your eyes, it's not nice

Yeah I never bothered and unless your wearing full race wear what's the point?

 

[IH786]

Have you relocated your battery??

Only does it sometimes, say 1 start out of 20.

Yes battery has been relocated. Will try and clean and earths this weekend and report back

Let me know if it works as mine is doing it nearly everytime now and ive been under the bonnet to check all the connectors are firmly seated
It originally started after hitting a few huge bumps the brake wear sensor light came on but would reset with ignition cycle and thought it was dodgy link in the arch.
I dont have the ABS light on but unsure if the system is working or not, may find out if it snows tomorrow though
Sound familiar?

 

[Ronin225]

Managed to get some time on my ramps to finish fitting some bits
034 solid subframe bushing and mine really didnt want to come out as everybody elses have but got there in the end

Then i thought i'd fit my VF engineering mount

Got this far and then realised i only have part of the mount, i dont have the bar that joins the two mounting holes on the gearbox and the bolts to suit
So after a temper moment i've put my OE one back in, FFS!

I then fitted some new boost hoses ready for mapping
New one connecting charge pipe to the start of my welded I/C pipework

Then the throttle body to the outlet side of the I/C pipework, you can also make out the new MAP sensor position

So all fitted

Just need to get my new tyres fitted and inside of my wheels sanded flat now

 

[cupra-barn]

The hose off the TB looks kinked. Is it or is that just the picture?

 

[Ronin225]

Just how the pic looks, i should really cut the join on the TB at angle to suit properly but i wanted to go sledging so its fine for now

 

[james.l]

What bits you waiting for now?
