oh believe me you will make that exhaust fit no matter what lol

Right then,

After asking for some help on here.. I may be getting somewhere..
I've had a few loose odds and ends, mainly being a couple of sensors and Vacuum pipes from the brake servo and FPR.

I'd like someone, if possible to give me abit of advice, so I can try and get it running.

-Would having no Vac pipe on the end of the FPR cause it not to start? Low fuel pressure?

- I've also been told, I may have to change an FPR in my fuel tank? I haven't touched anything to do with the fuel tank, pump or fpr (If there is one in my 1.1 tank?)

Id imagine it would struggle to start with no vaccum pipe attached to fpr. Also dude you dont have to change the fpr in tank and rail i just did it for piece of mind.

And i have a stainless steel decat pipe here for vts if you want it £20

Ahh cool, that gives me piece of mind sort of Lol.
I'll hopefully sort that tomorrow, along with the TPS, Reckon it'd start or fire with no MAP sensor in?

I'll take that Decat to sometime this week hopefully, Just got to buy a few more bits before hand like. :)

nearlly there mate i have a spare map sensor FS if you need one
does it look like this

Iye, nearly there :) Once i've got the ecu then it should fire up, i think. Lol

Ahh its alright mate, I sorted a MAP sensor from saxovtrmk1 :) He's sorted me half the bits on the engine to be honest haha.

ok mate yeah hes sorting me to lol

IT RUNS, finally ffs!

The crank sensor was to blame! I must of had one from a different model or something, Tried one from Saxdazza's vtr and spliced the plug in, and BOOM..fired up straight away.

So it Lives, it runs. I'm yet to drive it yet, as I need to bleed the cooling system and give everything a once over. :) I'll get some pictures up tomorrow

Hats off, good luck!

Exhaust should sound ace too ;)

Thanks Man:y:

I do owe alot of praise to load of mates on here though. If it wasn't for them, It'd never have got running!
Ahh, I can't wait to get that exhaust on. I need to get a VTR/S decat before I can put it on, until then I'm using the old crappy 1.1 system:homme:

Can't wait to drive it again though! Need to take it easy for a couple of weeks, as I've still got the same brakes on, Can't swap them over to the others until I've got the discs from my dads like.

congrats mate looks like you win the race:y: enjoy it i cant wait to get mine running

I love this car haha! Just read from start to finish. Must say i did like those wheels pink and yellow too.. *trying not to gay myself up here* But the white makes the car look alot better too! Cant believe the state you got it in and now it looks kushty, well done lol

Cheers man :D Haha, Ahh I forgot about the bet. Who owes me £5? Haa
Will do mate, I need to retax it at somepoint next week so until then I'm dying to drive it!

Cheers mate, yeah I must admit the wheels were a marmite thing. I did like them for abit tbh aswell, but they were a pain to keep clean as i didn't paint them properly. I've got another set of Compomotives though now, and I'm tempted to paint them a bright colour and just use them every now and then :)

Keep that pink paint!! I think it looked the business, maybe chuck an orange in there with lime green ;) :y:

great read :)

Well done ed :) you need to do your brakes though haha your crazy, my 1.1 just about stopped with its 60hp engine. Lol but well done again its well worth when 16v's say oh hello :)

i think simon owes you a fiver lol im just waiting for a water union, oil filter insert and a map sensor then hopefully it will run :) get a pic of your engine bay up :y: also have you got any warning lights?
this is how mine stands

Need to get the Sideskirt back on now after it was ripped off in anger. :)


Still need to tidy the bay up, but it'll do for now.

**Also, random problem** My dials have gone awall.. When I turn the ignition to the 2nd position, the clocks light up like this.. If I put the indicators on, the lights that illuminate the Dials flash.. -_- Reckon its a dodgy earth?

Yeah, brakes are next on the list :) I'll be sorting them in a couple of weeks, either by having a dick about with some 266mm and trying to convert them to 3 stud or I'll buy some new struts, wishbones etc and do it the easy way.

Mega, I better give him a nudge then ;) Ahh, just little things then, still a ball ache I guess like.
Yeah my dash is lit up like a christmas tree.. I must have a dodgy connection somewhere or something, nothing works as it should Lol

my dials played up when the earth in the passenger side footwell was loose you have to peel carpet back near where door hinges also the earth is a 10mm next to a dash mounting
