  1. Hi The attached may help i generated this when I built my SS Instrument Panel Details.doc
  2. hi 4 wire lambda will only be used once the ECU has started and the engine is running at temp. there should be an ECU output to switch on lambda heater relay. You need a relay since the current sink on the ECU will not be up to the task. The lambda signal wiring should be screened. The voltage swing from a Lambda isnormally no more than 0.5 volts Rich to Lean so any interference will make it wrong..
  3. Don't dismiss Piston Heads I sold my Superspec there sight unseen to a guy in Manchester. He transferred the funds to bank, then organised the pick up as I had SORN the car after my knee made it impossible to get in / out Its a great wrench to loose the car but just remember the good times Head Banging on garage wall. I remember you quoting that to me when I bought the kit and you suggested a cushion to make sure I did not hurt myself. all the best Tony.. :mellow:
  4. Yes the space is a problem I solved this by removing just a piece of the runner to allow the belt braket to swivel. The passenger side was rge worst and I got seebelt is that how you spell it ! to rework the belt to extend the lap strap .. Didn't cost a lot and ensured the buckle was central for the SVA..
  5. Hi There are a number of threads on the topic of exports As far as I am aware 1/1/09 was the crunch day.. From that date no car registered in an one EU country can remain legally in any other for > 6 months.. Of course you can have it in country longer but in the event of an accident you may find you have no legal protection and no insurance!! I originally intended to export mine to Spain but they have stopped matriculating i.e re re-registering non Spanish conformed cars so no go on getting hoodie into country legally. Did a quick look and it looks like France has adopted a similar stance. Sorry to be the Bearer of back news..
  6. Hi Before my SVA and BUI I felt worried about paper work but in fact its easy I looked at the link quoted. I also phoned VOSA for a coup;le of the questions and it all went through 1st time

    Introductio

    hi.. Although I have sold my Superspec I live in Boldmere Sutton.. Give me a bell or email if you want any info.. Tony
  8. You can get new Reg if you can get enough points based on new major components New Engine + New Gearbox + New Front Suspension + Recon Diff = new plate...
  9. Look back on the threads 3 years ago ? I spent over 6 months trying to get details... They were lost at Longbridge when they went bust no one has any direct info. My engine had a build label and from that it was possible via Gaydon records to identify it was an export spaye probably for an 820 but with regards to age no idea. 20T = Engine block type = T series rather than later K series 5HH96 = block cast revision no details found on what variants this equals although did find this was a late revision so late build of engine type. The 6 digit laser etched is the unique identifier. It would have been good to get the details so the MEMS ECU variant problems could have been overcome. Also get year and my SVA emissions test would have been easier..
  10. Unless you can feed cables through column its a waste of time trying to get horn ring to work. I fitted a push switch which is quite acceptable for SVA so should be OK for IVA
  11. I also used PistonHead but actually had most replies from the ad on CarSales and sold via here
  12. Sold this weekend unseen for cash Being collected on Monday.. Shame but such is life if you can't get in /out with a bad knee Its been fun B) would never do it again.. Tony
  13. With no sale thus far and the car sitting in garage gathering dust Price Reduced to £5500 Now thats a bargain since only a few hundred dry miles.. Anyone have an interest or know some one ?

    Loom

    As I said before the Vicki Green loom is fine provided you work on it carefully. The colour coding is non standard but thats no big deal, I thought the premier one also does not conform to tin top standards... You need to think very carefully before attacking car electrics, its not like 240V mains with only three wires! Earthing is another sticky subject too many and loops can result too few and bits don't work, there is a fine balance... The docs I created can be found by doing a search on the forum
