I'll be testing the loom tonight, will need a couple of days to test your VEMS, we've got funky new firmware that needs a good looking at

Just finished soldering the in-line fuses, the diodes for the rev counter and a few other odds and sods. I'll start the testing this evening and hope to get it out to you on monday.

To take a look at the software, and the guide to connecting the system download: http://www.vems.co.uk/VEMSTech/VemsMT1.0.73rc1.zip

Well, lets just say, I havent done alot since I last posted. I have been busy at work and my nights seem to of just passed by without a trace of any real work taking place!

Anyway, just a few pics etc of the thing I have bought and am planning to get fitted over the next 2 weeks, whne I hope to be taking it for its MOT!!

Anyway....

Fitting the AE86 fuel tank was not as simple as I thoughs it would be but after a bit of and a little it went on nice and easy, with alteration need to the filler neck pipe as they are different so a cut and cut was needed!



car up in the air and fitted rear bumper.


fuel tank all in place, no shots of the alterations as it was to hot!! Note - fuel tank was like new as I repainted it but I got pissed with it and I dont care any more!


got some of these for the rear axel...


and these Battle Version Kit 2 steering lock kit...

also...


My VEMS aftermarket ECU to run the 45mm throttle boddies arrived. This will come in hand when I upgrade to 20v/4agze next year (havent decided! )


but this looks like fun.... NOT!



and here is the 14x8 wheel, notice how it wont fit with the bottom part of the wing attached, need to get the roller out asap!

gonna be fitting the rest of the engine bay parts tonight, like the radiator (using the ae86 one and it needs some brackets making), the throttle linkages etc.



heres how its sits as of now...

But I am gonna really have to get cracking asap as it needs to get done!

cheers mate, it will be even sweeter when it runs and I can drive it!

Cars look so much better on the roll rather that stationary.

I actually let out a girly Squee noise when I saw the engine bay picture. It's damn sexual. Definately one of my dream cars. Keep it up

Oi! That is a thing of beauty when coiled correctly, you've made it look all messy

Seriously though, put the loom in the passenger footwell and uncoil each bit at a time and run it through to the engine compartment. Route it through to the right sensor and you'll soon see that theres not much to worry about.
Then step through the LoomGuide.doc file on the CD I sent you and you'll be fine.

Ah, its all cool, and was gonna take a nice phot but the bastard thing has a mind of its own and slid of the rear seat of the car hence the bungled mess!

Actually, I seem to of got my head around it, its not too complicated... YET!

Anyway, im getting my mate to do it all, I dont want it all going up in flames!

Mate, your car is looking awesome

LOVE IT!!

I notice you managed to fit the twin headlights without cutting the lower front panel! I guess you just moved them up to fill in the gaps normally above the sidelights??? Easy to do??

Still looks cool. That engine bay is TIDY!!! If I had a fetish for small toyota's, I'd have one similar to yours, but mine wouldn't be team BROWN. And the wheels would stick out more. I don't have a small toyota fetish anyway but yeah it's looking good. Updatuuu.
