Here is a pic in relation to your question mate,

Woahhh dodgy engine removal there my bro! We usually use a big strop around the intake manifold & pull it straight forward to get it off a the gearbox studs then straight up.

Put a jack underneath the gearbox to lift the engine & box off the subframe mounts & your away. Btw nice alternator bracket/bearing & belt set up... haha it looks like I forgot to show you it needs a bush machined up for that bolt that tensions the alternator..I think I have it here too bro so I will try find it & let you know

Also it looks like you need my modified power steering pump bracket because when all fitted it up it should leave lots of room around the throttlebody like below

did this about over a year ago. was my very first pull ever lol knew i would do something wrong

YESS!!! i thought it needed a bushing lol no worries im not driving it atm so should be sweet till i get it off you

i might grab that power steering pump bracket off you too. its gonna be a tad tight with the flipped manifold with it the way it is :-/

Isn\'t that annoying to mute?

I have X and K band turned off (K band off because by the time detector goes off for those low frequency speed camera it is to late anyway.)

So with just Ka and laser on I receive next to no false alerts so never need to mute.

Ka and laser are the only bands used by police in New Zealand, K band is used by all the "your speed is.." and by speed camera vans but IMO turning K band on for them is not worth all the flase alarms.

Also have ka guard enabled which stops the receiver falsing if the car around me has a cheap radar (cobra\'s are notorious for this)

[aim]

Yeah I\'ve considered turning off K band. Does get annoying, but the GPS feature of my escort prevents me since I never get false alarms in my frequently visited locations

Good work with the hardwiring though, did you order a special cable, where did you wire it in. Do you have pics in further detail?

Cable is just a normal telephone cable for the v1, using the V1 hardwire kit I just needed to wire a positive and a negative wire which I wired up under the steering wheel and then ran up the A pillar and then using fingers you can push the cable under the front of the headlining.

edit: turns out your radar uses the same cable, this is quite expensive but is what you need.

One of the guys here just made me a new V1 cable the curly one that came with it bothered out. Just positive and neg as above with telephone connection.

[aim]

Mine has a quick mute button on the power connector... wonder if there\'s a way to wire that in somehow?

[chappell943]

Looks like youll need this for a remote mute.

Finally got car going again, thanks marc for solinoed! Fitted 2.5\' downpipe which i wrapt, large topmount intercooler, intake form hijacka (what a pain without removing manifold) GFB 50/50 bov new plugs and soldered on new injector fitting i broke ages ago, some new vacum lines as some of the old ones were looking a bit dodgy. All the boost surge and crap that was going on is now gone, i sort of knew that the ecu is more clever than just spitting the dummy over having an exhaust put on, what the cause was is anyones guess as i did it all at once, but man its so smooth now and pulls really cleanly ;D

[Guest]

finished off the fuel surge, filter and pump instal, just need the braided hose now, plus fitted the braided brake hoses i hvae had for the last 12 months, to the rear calipers.

[bford]

bought stoffas boot yeasterday,installed and put rear stop light in back window.Kinda like the non spoiler look

Love it!

Welcome to the club.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

cleaned ICV, hope i didn\'t break it, it wouldn\'t idle after cleaning it till i revved and restarted the car a few times. tried to reset ecu, keeps throwing a code 32... soo, guess it\'s time for a new o2 sensor. it\'s been doing it for the last 2 years on and off LOL

[94 Leone]

lol, my brand new one flashes on and off lmao; I think my issue is \'cause the long as wire going to the o2 sensor from where the plug is(single T legacy) o2 sensor on ST extractors is on the other side lol.

[Guest]

Not me I watched but Missus comp tested her gsr and cleaned the plugs. Then changed the leads from stock to 10.2mm gonad ones and swapped out afm. Well trained .

Just finished putting RED back together, bit late for a test drive but will be up in a few hours for work so may go for a lap ariund the burbs before hand. Interested in how the new ratio will do with spool up on my set up.

Solenoid hooked up wrong... mine did the same when I had the solenoid backwards after some midnight installation brain-fail.

Also no boost cut means your map sensor probably ain\'t seeing anything.

[Guest]

My hdi instructions were the wrong way round ??? had to run it the opposite/normal way.
