just got a few things done to the ka the last few days
purchased this little lot from maplins to box up the electronics (auto lights, frost indicator, fuel/air fuel ratio kit, cooling fan controller)
Also managed to create an extension cable for the omex unit so for mapping I can just remove the bung in the carpet and plug the comm cable straight in without having to remove anything other than what would have been to get to the standard diagnostics socket
got the brake calipers sand blasted (new seals on order)
then etched and painted them up red
made up a brake servo support to stop it flexing on its mounts
then painted it up
painted up the new drop links, arrived in a zinc coated finish so painted them satin black and then painted the red stripes
started motor painted up and fitted (poor photo lol)
some overall shots of the ka in its current state with the oil pipes to the cooler and remote filter
my bluetooth car kit arrived today and so did my silicon hoses for the coolant pipes
also ordered some gasket paper and hose clips
my electrical stuff has also arrived, but I am off back to our uni house for a week as my Fiancée is yet to finish her uni year so nothing will get done for a week or so
stuff waiting to be delivered:
-magnetic sump plug (16mm as the 14mm hole in the sump was stripped
)
-inline oil breather filter
-exhaust paint(ordered 2 cans for the manifold thinking it would be enough but used all of it on the 4-2-1 mainfold, the heat wrap just kept absorbing it, so need another for the exhaust itself)
-new seals for the front calipers
-new front speakers and amp
