Thought I would show her some love today.

Snow foamed drained

Then I clayed the whole car, polished, cleaned the glass and finished off sealing her with R222 Carnauba wax

not bad for a 12 year old car....

Cheers mate

it's pretty different to the normal leons on here, but I like that

 

[BigJase88]

Looks good!

Although epic fail on the number plate hiding!

I can read the reflection on the front window from the interior pic

Y286 HAK by any chance

what a douche.

do you not have a bar for your harnesses to fit to ive heard the harnesses can do some pretty serious injuries in a crash with them fixed to the floor not sure how true that is of course.
looking bloody clean in the pictures though.

Looks awesome bud, bet it makes such a difference with all the interior stripped out??

So long as the harnesses are at a 45 degree angle, then they are fine, they look steeper in this picture because they are not tight, but when tightened they are at a 45 degree angle.

Roll cage is on the plans for sure and the harnesses will be mounted to that, but that won't be until next year

it makes a hell of a difference, it is loud though. All the sound deadening is gone, everything, including the speakers and radio, just pure sound of the engine and stones pinging against the underneath of the shell

ABS woes continue.

So I replaced the ABS sensor, then I had the challenge of doing a system test. This is where the ABS light stays on and it wants you to do a system

This involves pressing the brake pedal, then the TCS light flashes commencing the test, then driving slowly at around 15mph turning left or right until the ABS light goes off.

Took several attempts but got it to do the test eventually.

Then I took it for a spin, and STILL the same issue with the ABS kicking in

It's going off to AMD on Monday, to determine if it's a hardware issue or wiring fault.

upon inspection the other day the ABS wiring was damaged and taped up, this could be providing an intermittent signal (as it did show a V64 hydraulic pump issue intermittent signal) which could be setting it off, so the signal is going to be measured when driving

to top it off, its now running at 0.8 bar boost as the N75 is broken. New one arrived today so going to test that out at the weekend also.

all last minute work, before or IF it makes it for its remap

Beast mate
Love projects like this!
Any chance you could get some photos and a description of how the bucket seat is fixed in .




Ignore that, found it in a previous page.

 

[R666ECE]

Fantastic Read !!! thank you and what an amazing amount of work .. outstanding !!!

 

[deutsch]

Cheers guys much appreciated. Taken a while to get to where I am but still a way to go yet

New N75 valve arrived today. Hopefully this will sort the erratic boost issues out, sometimes it's 1.5bar and sometimes it's 0.8bar actuator pressure

Also got a vag com error showing intermittent connection from the N75 valve

 

[D.K]

Did the N75 work ?

 

[deutsch]

Did the N75 work ?

Drove to AMD this morning and happy to say its back on full boost so replacing the N75 has solved that issue.

Now just for this ABS fault to be sorted.

If it isn't fixed then I am seriously contemplating breaking the car for parts and getting an Audi S6 (4.2 V8 version)

 

[deutsch]

so the car has spent the whole day down at AMD, and the issue still cannot be found.

SO we have decided to code out the ABS and traction control, which will in effect stop the issue from happening. Job done

 

[D.K]

You've come too far now to break it up,

 

[deutsch]

You've come too far now to break it up,

yes, I think you are right.

speaking with AMD tomorrow to see if the ABS and ESP have been coded out, then pick it up on Wednesday, ready for it to get the water meth fitted on Thursday and STG3 mapping next week

This is awesome. Love a striped put car built for one thing. Being driven and been driven hard
