sphinx :I say you style it yourself BUT....

Whatever you plan on doing, run it by all of us first and we can say what can and can't be done

I say do it how you want, but keep the recaro stickers on the skirts!

by **Sphinx** on Sat Mar 10, 2007 10:04 pm

My idea was better

sphinx :Run it by all of us first and we can say what can and can't be done

yes sir

by **Sphinx** on Sat Mar 10, 2007 10:15 pm

Seriously though, I can understand your predicament. I heard you mention that you like the standard look so how about completely standard apart from lowered on 16" RS6's and keep the Recaro stickers.

by **knuckles** on Sat Mar 10, 2007 10:33 pm

The black mondeo wheels are being replaced eventually with standard Rs wheels before Fitp.

I May spray the mondy wheels then sell them to get my money back.... :bonkers:

You're several months late on that front Tom - we decided the moment he bought it that we'd all own him if he made tweaks we didn't like! :lol:

I said nothing. I have seen Ghost, he doesn't swing his hips when he walks - I'm not interested.

Im sure the hip swinging can be arranged :lol:

I got the dash off ready for tomorrow. There is lots to sort out, basically need to find the reason why the fuel pump isn't priming and remove all unnecessary wiring.

This is what it was hiding -

by **heeman10** on Sun Mar 11, 2007 11:07 pm

MING

Those two centre air vents, give them a wiggle and see if they squeak against the sound proofing. If so, you might want to do what I did and cut notches out of the mat at the corners to stop them doing so

by **knuckles** on Sun Mar 11, 2007 11:21 pm

You got a pic of yours with it cut ?

by **heeman10** on Sun Mar 11, 2007 11:26 pm

knuckles :You got a pic of yours with it cut ?

Naturally

heeman10 : A VERY satisfying discovery - THE DREADED FIESTA DASH RATTLE/SQUEAK! We all know about it, and I think...no, I'm pretty damn sure, I've found the culprits!!

Where the corners of all the vents touch the dash soundproofing, they squeak and creak when you move them! So I've cut out the sections where they interfere, and all seems well now:

Fingers crossed I'll have a quiet dash now

by **MAD_Adamski** on Mon Mar 12, 2007 2:34 am

coming on real well mate

by **knuckles** on Mon Mar 12, 2007 3:00 am

messy..

but its looking good cant wait till you get it on the road, a good project so far!

by **knuckles** on Tue Mar 13, 2007 12:23 am

I have a new problem now :cry:

The alarm and immobiliser has been removed to eliminate half the problem, but now the fuel pump isn't getting the right output from the ofab ecu.

I now have the issue of maybe having to replace the Ecu for another one or the loom maybe faulty.

Either way I'm stuck now until i find a replacement.

If anyone has a ofab ecu lying around that they don't mind me borrowing then drop me a Pm.

Knuckles :cry:

by **Brammer** on Tue Mar 13, 2007 1:15 am

I'll lend you one of mine

by **knuckles** on Tue Mar 13, 2007 1:19 am

how many you got or do you collect them ? :lol:

by **Brammer** on Tue Mar 13, 2007 2:02 am

knuckles :how many you got or do you collect them ?

I have boxes of stuff all over the place, i have 1 ecu here and one in manchester at parents and an ofac i think.
