Subaru conversion start

its purely just the antenna ring around the outside of it. it is removable but they dont seem to work properly once removed. easier to keep it like it is, plus then i can just remove the key as an actual immobiliser!!

 

Are you going to put a remote reservoir on the clutch master cylinder?

 

Ah right, yes I see. I was considering doing similar, but thought the master cylinder was hanging a bit low as mine is lowered a couple of inches at the front. I might have another look to see if its a possibility

 

yes, got a kit from Car Builder Solutions

 

mine sits about as low as my steering arm so not too worried.

 

More wiring work done tonight. Grommet drilled through the wheel well into the engine bay. Separate wiring loom made for the fans. All seems to take ages but I want it looking almost like a factory finish.

Your nearly always best using the original bushes that are inside the tube
The new ones available are crap

 

yep kept the roiginals as they were all complete and perfectly fine, annoyingly i had already bought new ones so that was 20 quid wasted!!

 

Send em back. Have you had them for long? Or try and flog them on here

 

That's the problem with trying to pre plan what parts you may need for a job
Can you not send them back for a refund?
I've pmd you through tapatalk but not sure if it's gone through?

 

no pm received that i can see

 

I'll try again

 

More wiring work done:

Main wiring loom brought through wheel well into engine bay, separate loom made up for fan wiring, fuel pump wiring and 7 core loom made for tellbacks in the dash(immobiliser light,check engine light, rev counter and water temp)

This is going to be a tidy installation when finished

 

Great work, you can now see why the conversations cost so much to have done.

 

Exactly my thoughts

I suspect they don't put as much care & effort into it though.

 

I admire the thought and attention to detail you're putting into the job.

 

I am taking my time somewhat as I am waiting for my gearbox mount to be done. Once that is fine I can mount the gearbox and them fix the engine mount in place too. Then it will be a case of fitting gearbox and engine for real. Hopefully I can get everything else done so that it is fairly straight forward after that!!

How's the conversion going ... or have you transferred to a different thread? Just filled up for the first time and really pleased to see 29.9 mpg over the last 250 miles.
