JayLock Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Alright? Nice! I begin today with new clocks from the much coveted VTI-s, switched out the Auto indicator and matched the current mileage from my old clocks took 6 hours!, resetting the needle was a pain but I guess that's what GPS apps were invented for, I'm currently 3mph under but for now that's okay as my work route is littered with speed cameras and vans with good for nothing plastic Rozzers munching on a tax funded bacon sarnie watching my 1.6 shaking itself to pieces getting up the worlds steepest hill. Sanded down the REV and Speedo and I have gone back to regular bulbs until I can find some decent Leds that don't flicker, my plan for this is to solder the little b****rs in but I have spent all weekend sorting the clocks out so its on the list to do. Clock, after much raging at the dashboard and several bulb changes I have soldered a wired led into the unit itself, this way there is no jiggling, pretty straight forward, just take the whole unit apart and solder to the terminals, he-presto light! next is the heater controls, sanding down the colostomy bag yellow/ orange to match the speedo and rev counter. I wired in 3 leds under the gear selector but unfortunately when drilling the new holes for the led I hit the underside of the little plastic window scratching the D, I will sort this out, Kind of sick of pulling the dash apart for every little job, that and I want to illuminate the window switches in the centre console, that's on the to do list. Today I should be getting my new fuel pump and distributor cap, also got some STP oil potion, love this stuff, quietens things down a bit in the engine. will let you know how it all goes. I have tried adding pictures but the whole thing freezes when I try and paste a link so I will update when I figure out the complexities of cut and paste.

snakey135 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sounding good mate... Are you using photobucket?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 You've been having fun then! When you say 3mph under do you mean you're travelling 3mph less than the speedo reads? If so then that's how it should be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sounds like a lot of work going on here, look forward to the pics. As Jake said you'll need to use Photobucket to host the photos and then copy the links over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayLock Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Due to the arrival of a new rotor arm i thought i might check my sparks while warming my STP in a soothing hot bath, you would be unsurprised to learn that one was not as tight as it could have been, i only fitted them about a month ago, they are quite sooty already. When i have the time i will clean them down with the electrical spray i got from hellfrauds.i am delaying the inevitable.
