Well for us who have moved the ecu from standard position to accomodate for the supercharger usually use the chassis earth on the pax side near the air filter, thats what i did anyway. So if i did connect it up to the ecu it would only be going back through the chassis anyway. Im probably best finding my original earth arnt i..

When I move my SC-ecu's, I simply use the existing loom earth wire that is connected to the engine (intake cam cover). Doesn't really matter where you ground your ecu, as long as you use the same point for your sensors as Arno has described. (But I would always ground it to the engine.)

WB-AFR is pretty important if you map your engine to that voltage reading...

Cheers frank, arno.. Best find my ecu earth.. God knows where it is tho. Ha.

i thought i had best give the car a wash.

 

 

so i gave it a wash and whilst i was at it i put the old turbo spoiler back on to aid the rear aero. 

 

 

 

dunno if i prefer the look or not yet.. 

 

i wondered what it would look like if i took off the rear spoiler. 

 

 

not keen.

Is your rear diffuser spaced down? If so is your rear towing eye still on the normal place? When I spaced it down I though it looked a bit weak with a spaced/extended bolt.

[chris_uk]

the 2 fixings at the back are normal, ive just bent it down if you know what i mean.

[Zoobeef]

Thought that might be the case. I'll look at doing that. Won't make the underneath of the car as nice and flat though.

[chris_uk]

as far as im aware the rear of the car (diffuser) doesnt want to be flat, it wants to point up as much as possible.. 

[Zoobeef]

By stepping down the back but not those main 2 bolts it'll make it flatter actually as it's lifting the front up and rear down. But closer to the floor is a good effect. Just depends which attribute is more important haha.

Looks good mate. How strong are the gaps between it? Are you doing mesh?

[chris_uk]

yes they will be meshed, just gunna wait until i do the rear as well so i can do it all in 1 go. 

 

 

[haggi961]

Makes sense. Are you doing the arches to?

[chris_uk]

yea, be no point in the vents if i didnt.. ive got some filter material that my pop uses for his pond and it lets loads of air through so that should stop all the dirt and stones flying up onto the windscreen.

[GeorgeBC]

Nice work, your car is amazing!

[chris_uk]

Finished my front vents

Cut and meshed the inner arches





Also cleaned up the chassis a bit.



And all finished











And what it looks like from inside.

I'm surprised how close the wheel arch gets to the backside of the clam. Looks really good and certainly different to the usual louvres.
