right that makes sense. I just couldn’t figure how it would vary the timing from the ecu. ok then I need to figure out whether that’s doing it’s job and if not why not. At the moment it doesn’t really sound different whether connected or not though I might need to check that in a bit more detail ..e.g. thru the rev ranges, or with the gas analyser (but it’s very slow)

So 2 of the 4 bolts fitted, I had to grind the other 2 nuts off. It wasn’t anythign I’d done wrong though, just 2 of the actual towbar holes needed tweaking by a few mm, re-welded nuts on and it all fitted nicely.
In the pics the sides are drooping a bit because I’ve not put on the plastic fittings which hold the sides aligned. REar quarter panel also hasn’t been properly welded yet, mig torch gave out halfway thru.

today’s little project was to rip the lower valance off the front big bumper. bit more ground clearance and I think it fits the lines of the car better.
also I tested whether there was any way to fit the towbar along with the big bumper and there really looked to be no way to make it happen without modifying one or the other.
So I ended up cutting a chunk out of both the rear bumper mounts/”prongs” and welding the frame of the bumper to the towbar, then refitting the plastic bumper skin. It’s ended up quite a hefty bit of kit and good luck anyone who runs into it since the towbar is on a nice solid 40x40mm box section which sits just behind the “big bumpers” frame.
Surprisingly I only needed to cut a little section our of the plastic to let the towbar through which was a welcome bonus.
I’ve welded nuts to the topside of the towbar so I can bolt it in from the bottom but then it got dark so I don’t know if they’re in the right places. should know more tomorrow.

inspired by the somewhat rat-look wings and rear quarter I’ve gone ahead and ordered some matt black 2k to paint up the rest.
I don’t plan to keep it matt black forever but I reckon it’s probably quite an easy way of getting it all the same colour more or less…since at the moment it’s coloured everything from red-oxide primer,grey primer, matt black and about 30 shades of jade green…not to mention the 3 red doors.
I figure once it’s all uniform (ish) and roadworthy I’ll see about refinishing it in somehing more jade-green-like and shiny…but for now matt black will keep it simple (hopefully)

Got the front wings on and the “chin” section fitted on sat, fixed the bonnet latch so it closes nicely too. It’s now officially resembling an almost complete vehicle…which is very cool.
