So today i got started on the turbo conversion. Bit of a slow start, got the intake manifold off, LE loom shoved out the way, coolant drained, Air intake out including AFM and mount and a few things measured and worked out. Then it started raining and we retreated indoors to tidy up the new intake m...

Right, I fitted the '99' relay yesterday and it is as good as it says on the tin. A great improvement :) Had a lovely snowy 'test night'. Picked the head up off John too so that's here. Going to start tomorrow , doing the turbo swap, swapping heads, front wheel bearings and I'll give the box and dif...

Did you have problems without the VW VSS? It's something I've not yet sourced for my LH swap

Nice one Jamie! The car is really nice, the bloke who had it before spent a fortune on it. It runs mint and everything feels good and strong. I've driven it twice i think and you just can't stop smiling. With the date of first registration in sweden being 1960, we thought there may just be a chance ...

Checked tonight after seeing the comments, YES they are MiM's - never realized when i bought em off John. 15x7 Et 13 58mm CB 3 are Italian, one is English lol. They're not exactly 'pristine' but i've given 3 a ghetto refurb with some 5 quid paint and a couple 2nd hand tyres. They will be for sale wh...

NIce work. Are you wiring the fan into the ECU? IIRC the ecu has two wires a Bl-Sb and a W-Sb which t-piece into the fan electrics between thermo switches and relay. Not entirely sure what it does, raises idle to help fan power drain? turns off when moving? Might be something to think about

Love the car! nice work been done too. Recaro's are just MADE for 300's, I can't imagine getting rid of mine. Any plans to put the seat heating elements in? I was going to when i put my recaro's in but the elements have fell apart :/

Keep the updates coming!

Loom's in and everythings pretty much got. Was going to start on tuesday but the headgasket'...

i take it it's a renix coil then, When you unbolt the coil have a look at the contacts, there should be a tiny + and - Stamped into the resin round the contacts, can't remember which is which off the top of my head edit: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b192/levibaantjer/P1000198.jpg taken from vol...

You have definately got it wired the right way yeah? (black to earth, red coil+, blue coil-) And is it set up correctly? i.e. 4cylinder and the correct RPM?

Have you got it on soft/hard cut? I found my glt tends to rev past the soft cut but hard works fine.

looks a beauty, wish my glt was black lol
