WA Sprint Championship - Overall Results - Round 5 - 26 July 2015 - Course: Montacute - 4.30km

Second time out on the new ECU, yet to work out some of the bugs.
I have put together my temp sensor, but yet to install it.
I redesigned a new catch can, bled the brakes.
Need to get back into building the engine, no time :( busy working. At this rate August is a write off, so it will have to wait till September.












I also tried running 215/45 on the rears and 225/45 on the fronts. Spun out twice. Pushing the car a bit too much when it was cold.
I'd be keen to try tire warmers.

Tribute - My Daily - B18 Civic EG - 21xxxxKm

What started out as a project car soon became my daily as I started modify the Colt further and further.

I think it has now been with me over 3years! Maybe over 4.
But in that time it has been a life saver.  Its been my ute more times than I can count.
Helped me move houses as well.
6months ago she got written off, I was hit in the rear 1/4 panel (passenger side).

I bought it back for $150 (the salvage price).
I don't understand how someone can put a price on my car, as I was the one who got hit.
They valued it at just over $2000.
It is worth a lot more than $2000.  I looked on gumtree, couldn't find anything that had been looked after.  So I kept it, fixed up some of the issues.

Rear trailing arm seems to have some serious toe still.
Body panels need some work, one day I will get around to it.
Lately its received some SSR HART wheels with R1R 195/50/15.
A brake booster, a clutch master + the needed flushes.
New CV boots, the timing belt change and a bunch of other small things.

Lower and upper ball joint boots are shot.






















Took out the passenger shaft for a new boot
I need to flush the PS fluid.










Working out my engine mounts.
Tempted to change them?









Worlds crappiest job, CV BOOTS!!
Bought new CV joints, its the wrong type.
I believe I have integra shafts.

WA Sprint Championship - Overall Results - Round 4 - 28 June 2015 - Course: Big River - 4.35km

First time out with the new ECU, some basic tune tweaks and my tires that are forever aging.

The new ECU is behaving nicely, just some false knock to tune out.

On hard shifts its picking up false knock.

Apart from that, I can't complain.

Oh but my catch can was leaking and making a mess.  I must revisit the design.

My competition -> another RColt that has gotten very serious compared to our first outing.

Template for ECU Mount & Dash Switch Mount

Here are the templates I made for my conversions.
See more here: /adaptronic-440-install-wires-heat.html
They aren't the most accurate, but that worked for me.
I drew it on graph paper, each big square is slightly under 1cm.

Above is the one that reuses the stereo bracket mounts.

The one below reuses the 3 cover mounts on the powersteering ecu. The MDF board I cut out was the size of an A4 sheet.  The below is a 1:1 scan of the A4 sheet and the mounts.

Part of the ECU install was to clean up all the wiring.

I stripped out so much from my old alarm and gauges, old ECU.
I wanted a simple panel that I can trouble shoot, chop and change.
