Hi Josh,

 

Looks like you have a good project there to get your teeth into mate.

 

If you want my honest opinion, the first thing i would do is strip out the wiring,

all of it, and start again. As it is, theres no chance of it passing the IVA and by the looks of

how it's been done, it probably won't work anyway.

 

The dash needs a 19mm min radius on the lower edge, so the MDF? one you have is a fail

without modifications.

 

Most people prefer to IVA without a screen also, it's a minefield i believe to test one as fitted?

 

Please make sure you read the IVA manual, slowly and wholly, then ask on here for anything

your 110% sure about..

 

 

Newark show is coming very soon, there will be a fair few Zero's there i would assume. I'm going

for sure.

 

HTH,

 

Nick.

as nick says , rip out the wiring , the connectors will give you trouble ,

soldier and add shrink over the joints . premier do a good loom .for arround a hundred quid .

talk to gaz he is good at wiring and is a local area sec .

good luck with the build .

ask the questions , and get the answers .

Yes i picked it up on sunday for 3500. I hope i didnt pay over the odds but it was what i was after more of project

 

Id agree about the wiring. Would it be the best move to get the engine wire up and ecu in before thinking about anything else.

A very good price

I had rang him on Friday to go and have a look as near me. Got told someone was going sat with a view to do a deal.

 

So did not get a call back.

 

what loom is in lt

 

I am sure with some knowledge of sparks anything can be put right.

 

Is at a s/s body?

 

re the engine have you got a cat ?

 

and Gaz Area sec is a wonder with wires I am told.

its a GBS loom i think and it does have a catand it is a s/s body.

I spoke to Gaz on saturday and he also said to go for a premier loom, so I have put a order in today should be 2/3 weeks!
