So a major hurdle. Getting rid of all this rubbish that has leached its way into the wiring loom over the years. So the dash had to come back out to make it easier but we chased every wire and reconnected and removed all the immobilisers. They did work when we first picked the car up but I couldn’t see them working for very long so it was time to start at the beginning.


So this also happened, bought my mrs a new car and popped the question. We met in the car scene and ten years on we are still strong as ever and she’s well into her “scubies” since the car I had when I met her was a bug eye Impreza.



It did the trick as she said yes. It was that or I had a new car so.. lol

So what do we think then? Will it start? Bare in mind it has a full bridge port, std turbo ll injectors, no intercooler pipework,
no inlet air temp sensor and no wiring for the maf sensor.. well yes it did after I’d fitted a decent battery as the one I had was toast. Not sure how to upload a video it won’t accept the file code on the uploader.

I too feel that way now. Don’t think I could do another project quite as bad as this one but at least I know I can do if if needed.

I have lots more to update, cars back from paint and looking sweet.
had some issues with the microtech ecu but nothing I bit of research couldn’t fix.
Cant seem to upload any pics via the website so might have to try something else. Scrap that it worked.
