I dont have the money as i just got a new car

Whats the priority now Dan, completing the conversion or getting the new car road-worthy? You've got a lot of people waiting with baited breath on the outcome of the conversion, get it finished man! ;)

[d_dan]

the plan is now to get breaks onto the white one as iv to remove the ABS completely and fit all new break lines

[steelroe]

WOuld you not be better off leaving the ABS to use with traction control as power output increases

[steelroe]

Dan any details/pics/info on the decompression gasket/plate you used please.

[steelroe]

Any updated pic of brakes etc installed. Waiting with baited breath to see this up and running

[steelroe]

some interesting bits here.

And the new lights turned on.
HI & LOW beam HID's

[ftolam13]

nice work Dan

[finers]

Hey Dan, i like the HID's do u mined me askin where did you get them? and are they easy to install to original connectors, have to invest in a new set and wasn't aware u could get them for the high and low beams?

[d_dan]

yea but you need to order them specificly as its not something people look for usually.
I got them from ricer rocket. they are kingwood high beams and OEM mitsubishi low beam HID's

[kevinod]

Ricerocket - http://www.ricerocketuk.co.uk I got my main beam HIDs from him in a group buy a few months back...

[d_dan]

thats where i got mine too

[kevinod]

Yup... just filling in the gap of where to find Ricerocket for anyone who was wondering...

[colm_mcm]

Jaysus Kev, yours has to be the most subtly modded FTO ever. Every time I see the car I notice something else!

[d_dan]

Woo, On the road today,
And back in my driveway for the first time in about 6 months.

She has a few things to be sorted still but thats the reason i have been taken her from the shed and am tipping around to see what issues are popping up,

Im going to wire in the 7th injector, and see how we get on.
The breaks have to be bled further as theres an air bubble in there somewhere "I can feel it"
Also the clutch isnt bled properly even tough i had it done right.
and im going to raise the idle to about 1,100 RPM


Oh and DAM SHES QUICK

[Sebastian]

[d_dan]

yea going to race the 2 of the FTO's in bishopscourt somethime

[TopCat]

Good to see this car getting some road time at last. You got here mapped yet?

Oh, and whats the reason behind raising the idle?

[d_dan]

Shes ideling rough so i raised it . a bit so it would idle a little better.
Its not mapped yet waiting for the money for the wheels to come in and then get it mapped.

[Kace]

What wheels are you going for then ? Something to match the CF ?

[Sebastian]

fair play for all the work and the patience of not having her home for such a long time
i just hope for you , it was worth it
