Not yet mate, after some more testing last nite looks like the ECU is Fubar'd. Fingers are crossed for Saturday, have another ECU on the way. Some pics to show everything is ready to go. Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4 Have to say, it really fills the hole very well, looks like it should have been there from the start.

Anyone else having trouble opening the PDF, just says 'could not repair file' This is also looking more likely for me too seeing as the Ireland on is being put back a bit. Must get out GT4 again and refresh my memory of the corners.

Not long got back from work. popping to have a lookin bit, going to use a multimeter to test for an open circuit. Got a few more 20amp fuses to try, if no joy will get hold of a relay tomorrow and give that a try. piggy back ECU has been taken out now and the original cables soldered back together. Not many other things that can blow the fuse surely. Either a short or a faulty relay. Both of which will be test tonight on tomorrow. We will get this sorted out, soon hopefully @baggy, can only see one pic mate. Lee.

Cheers Ellz, it is frustrating but these things are sent to test us. hmmm, wonder if the EFI has a relay, not really noticed that, might be worth checking out, cheers Mike.

Just bumping this for lee, billy :D try this lads it might work. Cheers Gord, didn't work though, possibly this is only for the GS model. Just updated the other thread as spotted something else tonight to do with the EFI fuse. Lee.

Well, maybe a bit of progress tonight. After leaving the battery disconnected for 24 hours, still no start all lights still as they were yesterday. We did find that the 20A EFI fuse keeps popping when you try and start the engine. All the ecu cables are back as standard, all soldered together. Anyone know of anything we can check that relates to this EFI fuse? Can't try anything else tonight as out of fuses. Also don't suppose anyone has an electrical wiring diagram for the engine management system. Matt I remember you saying that when the battery is disconnected, the beeping that comes from the back of the car is the backup alarm. Does the beeping mean that the backup is knackered? Could this have some effect on the immobiliser? When we take the battery off Andy's car there is no beeping. We tried the immobiliser link but think that is only for GS models, as it didn't seem to work. The other thing that happened just as we were packing up was when you double press the alarm, there are 5 flashes, as normal, whereas yesterday there were only 2 Cheers Lee.

Happy birthday mate, have a good un

Happy birthday

I installed mine as soon as they arrived, left the setting inside to the number 1, didn't bother the the adjustment under the hood. Never been flashed once. Lee.

Seen the page Gord just sent me, wired exactly the same. Give you a bell tomorrow night.

Well today was the day for the S/C install. A swap from billybandits car to mine including decatted manifold. Well everything went well, pipework installed, black box fitted, then went to start it. Nothing. it turns over as tho wanting to start but there is no fire. When you turn the key to the first position, the lights come on as normal except the battery light. The airbag light goes off but the traction control off light stays on as does the light that says you have a bulb out at the back, plus the security light still flashes slow as tho the alarm is still set. The other funny thing is that where the outside temp should be is the letter 'E'. So we went about removing the black box so as to put the ecu back to standard, still car would not start. So after a phone call to Mike (for a few phone numbers), Matt and Gord we tried leaving both battery terminals off for 30 minutes and reconnecting, still no start. Removing the two fuses from the ECU and replacing still no start. We think this is possibly something to do with the immobiliser, all the time whilst fitting, around 5-6 hours the negative terminal was removed, don't know if this has anything to do with it. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the installation of the black box? This is how we set it up, as per Andys car. ECU -> top connector block -> middle pin, top row(white/black trace) - negative of black box ECU -> 2nd connector block -> middle pin, 2nd row up form bottom of block(green/red trace) - cut this and connected the green of black box, the yellow off the black box to the end going into the harness ECU -> 3rd connector block -> nothing connected ECU -> bottom connector block -> middle pin, bottom row(black/red trace with grey banding) - positive of black box As I say the black box has since been removed and the above wires reconnected and still no start with an E on the display and the lights stay on. Anyone have any other ideas as to what could be the problem. Gord mentioned something about trying to reprogramme the key to the car, anyone know anything else about this. Cheers Lee.

much better Steve, cheers. :D :D

Mike, how much further is this than the place last october, Plank & Leggit i think it was called? Coming Stoke way. Cheers Lee.

Cheers mate, all sorted now.

Can anyone recommend somewhere free where I can put my signature banner for linking to here, at the minute it is in my gallery but since this watermarking has been on them it covers most of the banner. Cheers Lee.

mate, you can always pop down to one of the nottingham meets, about 45mins from sheffield. and guaranteed a good time.

Sorry mate, simple answer is no. It can be done but have heard it is quite tricky. Best bet, depending on your spec, would be to buy an aftermarket headunit. PS, welcome to LOC

So does anyone know if there will be a mobile tyre fiter onsite? Also whats everyone doing for insurance, never been to one of these before so not sure the route I should take. Do companys over a single day cover for track use? don't think it would be a good idea to tell my current insurance company as they will hike my premium up if they know i'll be using it on a track.

gold member ship can get them cheaper, i feel a group buy coming on, if theres enough interest Defo interested if we could get a group buy sorted by the end of February.
