After further investigation...I've confirmed one of the leads was the Alternator charge lead....that's now been replaced with a direct lead from Alternator to the Starter ...so one less to extend to FIA switch...as the return Battery power will attach to Starter too...

the other two brown leads....disappear into the loom...no big deal I'll join and extend them to the FIA switch as per the instructions....once my eBay leads turn up...hopefully job-done...

cheers

Thanks...PM also replied...G

Its been helpful to see Martins Q's answered on this topic...I'm doing a similar (why the hell not)) install on my 2004 R400K....I do like to think I can find my way around basic electrics ;-)

Think the only Q's I have left is wrt the 'brown wires' referred to in the install instructions..Disconnect the two brown wires from the positive terminal of the battery, cut off their terminals and join the bare wires together. Solder to this joint the additional brown wire provided, insulating well with insulating tape and attach the 1/2" ring terminal to the other end.

 on my car, I have on the +ve battery terminal..a single connector with TWO brown wires connected into it...AND another heavier brown wire (which I think is the Alternator feed)....I've discounted the heavy Red lead which I will re-route to the FIA switch.

My Q's:

- does the instructions above refer to the existing 2x brown wires that are ALREADY connected together into a single connector ?.....or does it mean I connect the 'alternator feed' into those existing 2x brown leads (so actually having x3 wires combined) and then take the new extension lead to the cut off switch ?

alternatively, (assuming I am right and the heavy brown single lead is the alternator feed) I could connect that wire into the starter solenoid terminal along with the new return +ve feed from the Cut-off switch ?...removing need for that heavy current to be routed all the way to the FIA switch ?..and only routing the other two (combined) brown wires.

hope the above makes sense !

I have one of these..used to store my car whilst abroad..and packed up since...its an Airchamber brand

its not the model you are after....but worked really well fo me for 3 years of hibernation...

LMK if you'd like to know more....cheers Graham

on my PC w/Win10....

Nowhere near as shinny as Titanium7, but my K-series only uses the rear bracket,....no issues so far.... (cannot figure out how to rotate image !)

Thanks...

Hi all, I have the 'plug a fob into a hole in the dashboard' type immobilizer....I'd like to remove it...as I know its only a matter of time before it lets me down somewhere....

I'm reasonably handy with 'lectrics..so happy to dive in....prefer not to have to remove the scuttle if possible...

anyone have a guide as to how complex (or not) the exercise is ?

thanks all

Graham

Thanks....but I think I need the elbow room of the Caterham version...cheers

as in the title, S3 chassis, Drivers side half door needed....either already chopped got SIB, or surplus to requirements and I'll get my knife out !...

cheers Graham

Same here....

Looks a bit of a fiddly job underneath the roller barrels on my R400K....any tips on best route to do it...thinking on a pre-emptive change while at home, vs on road/track side ;-) 

thanks all

Hi Matt, I had not planned on a RR session...but the 'collective' advice is welcome...

hopefully will get out this weekend to give it a try...

The box is very nicely made and the backplate is a substantial bit of stainless.....so worth the wait IMO

I did have to make a couple of mods to get it to fit...not too significant, I'll IM the specifics

cheers Graham

Airbox fitted....looks great and fits well...

mines 2003...defo not there

Hi I just bought the airbox (which is around 450), the backplate, gasket and filter.(which is extra)...I'll give that a go...I may then buy the intake pipes and intake header etc....you are then heading to £800....the airbox is the carbon one...

Bingo !....thanks...the Google approach worked a treat....they are pretty good at this 'search thing' 

odd...on the "Guides" menu drop down, I don't see the loan register...?..or is there another 'guides' section I should navigate through ?

cheers

another great asset this group has.....but I didn't know about it until it was pointed out to me....looking through the menus on the BC site, I cannot find it and even searching 'loan resiter'...did not point me to it....other than the direct link I was given....where is it on the site ?

G

thanks all, great f/b, I've sent a note to one of the 'loaners' ...cheers Graham

Through previous damange one of my loom to rear light 4x connectors was destroyed, now replaced with x4 spade connectors...

Bought form ebay the correct replacement x4 connector and the male/female connectors....anyone have bright ideas on how to best connect to crimps on small connectors ?....solder ?....I don't have a crimp tool form these small connectors....or just bend tabs over with pliers to crimp wires ?

cheers Graham

Hi Adrian, happy to post some thoughts and pics...price wise (and I like to think of this as an investment ) ...Reverie have their price list online...the Silverstone box+backplate+filter etc...is around £450....yes I know  ....they look great bits of kit....lets hope the noise is down too !...cheers 

I've now bought the Reverie box....not fitted yet....but fingers crossed for Donington db's
