hey grant, that's the same one as i'm using - probably just unclear in my photo, taken on the mobile!

cool, that'll be fine.

Pix 4 clix anyway



Heater valve and hose 12 go to heater inside the car, make sure you have hose 5 connecting head end port to coolant pipe.


Cheers,

spending most of my time lately trying to find a place to mount the computer and module. bit of a bulky item and don't really wan't to cut a bunch of holes in the newly painted engine bay. i have decided to mount this up under the rain tray, mostly out of the weather but still with the potential of a bit of rain getting near the computer i have made up a protective case out of perspex (still haven't finished off but this is the rough idea). pretty happy with the way it came up and basically by applying heat with as heat gun you can bend/mould this however you want (pics below). also, my girlfriend's dad has made me a hose adapter on the lathe for the crank case breather hose, so i can run a 19mm hose to fit the catch can. thoughts? cheers.

hey guys, haven't really updated on here for a while now. but i have essentially finished the conversion for now, obviously with a few teething issues but overall really happy with the way it has turned out so far!

I have uploaded a video below, haven't been able to drive on the road as rego ran out on Friday! (perfect timing) will get some better photos once I get it out of the garage and give it a wash etc etc



Cheers!

The bonnet safety catch might have grabbed the top of your radiator.

I removed the hook from my white car because of this. I have other bonnet restraints so it wasn't a problem.

You might need to bend up a coathanger or someting to pull the hook back enough to get the bonnet free again.
