Plenty of progress on this lil baby..

Started pulling stuff off the engine bay..

Dashboard out..

Holes drilled in for the clutch pedal

Windscreen came off for ease..

Masking up..

Plasticated the whole car..

RED!!!

Also took delivery of a UK GTi ECU thats had NATS taken off it!

 

[PrimeraPowa]

Some work there, shame it will only get broken a week after its finished probably :tt2:

 

[Hally]

nice work, so it is the middle board on the ECU that is NATS then.

Lol, the last one took exactly a year to break! It was only broken coz it fucked up on me!!

I genuinely don't know, ive yet to open up a normal ecu so i don't know what differs?

Pics maybe?

 

[Hally]

where the long board is sticking up from the ECU to the right, there is usually a board under that (you can see the pins where it used to be)

I think Liam had that removed from his too.

steve...

 

[white_biscuit]

Aye..

 

[Liam]

I didnt get round to trying mine, so resoldered the board. I plan to wire in NATS in the N16.

i dont like it! it looks like it was red the whole car and then you changed the colour!

 

[white_biscuit]

Yeah, but the colour on the car is being changed

Agreed...

 

[steve55]

steve...

yes?

 

[white_biscuit]

Don't worry, it will look different

 

[Nij]

Don't worry, it will look different

Different is the way forward. Its the reason why I didnt put a full ph2 kit on.

You need to do the interior red! Black dash, black door cards with red inserts, red leathers. I know what colour your cars going to be, I think it'll look insane!

 

[craiGTi]

good stuff man

you still gonna just try and use a uk manual engine loom to wire up the manual box?!

yeah, it will look like kkgti`s pink gti with red engine bay

Yup

Got the dashboard and everything out, so if i need to mess with wiring i will

Doubt it tho, it all looks the same like

i don't see how it will work like that at all man

don't think you've listened to what i've said about it have ya

on the left hand side of the engine bay theres an extra plug where all the plugs connect to the relays. Those relays then go inside to the auto control box or somewhere.

For the car to start that relay has to be receiving a signal from both the starter motor trigger wires, and the park/neutral position switch for the car to start.

With a manual engine loom nothing will be connected to those relays.

 

[white_biscuit]

So where is the auto control box?

It aint inside the car?

 

[craiGTi]

i dunno cos i did it the engine bay way lol

but there's got to be something somewhere, i dunno man maybe it'll just work but i doubt it.

Theres got to be something for those extra wires and extra plug to go to at those relays, the thing that stops it starting when in drive, and turns the dash lights on and everything.

Doing mine the way i did, i didn't touch the interior and i have the green 'P' and 'N' on the dash lit up all the time so it thinks its in neutral and will start.

Might work but i can't see how, you've gotta do some wiring work somewhere unless the whole interior loom was changed too imo.
