Seicento My 2.0 16v Seicento Project

ooOOoo get you with your fancy words, you just made that up..

Parallax is an apparent displacement or difference of orientation of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines.

Erm ok, you win

Heres an update of where i am with the trimming... Ive never done it before so be gentle lol...

Also ive now sorted my throttle problem out.. this was done by fitting the early XE 2.0 16V TPS sensor to match the loom + Ecu... No more bunny hopping for me

It meant i had to swap the complete butterfly plate over.. they are both the same as you can see by the pics other than the spacing of the TPS mounting screws... The one i fitted was the one with the larger adjustable TPS on, and its done the trick... i now have full throttle

 

[sei16v]

ooh and the mashed bit of the dash covering is fine... ive got the original (modified) pod to refit there so it will cover the messy part... (couldnt be avoided as i trimed the dash in one piece)

 

[blu73]

whats going in the pod then? i assume a load of guages??

the vaux digidash

 

[blu73]

thought that was going in the middle above the little screen..

 

[CLXCraig]

it is in there...

 

[arc]

i thought that was were you meant! only other holes i can see look like they are for speakers, or for the steering column to come through..

 

[CLXCraig]

I think were all thinking of other places.

Think Blu and me are on about the original sei pod that would ahve housed speedo above steering columns

 

[blu73]

i thought he meant he was putting the standard dash pod on that bit to tidy it up.. thus having more space for guages, perhaps i just misread it.

[arc]

ahhh i see. i've no idea so i'll shurrup!

 

[Eklipze3k]

From what I can gather the original pod will be used to report things like lights, indicators, fuel and the time and the Vaux digi-dash will do everything else, so the original speedo will just be sitting at 0mph all the time.

That's my take on it anyway.

 

[blu73]

surely if you've gone that far your not gonna leave the speedo in there doing nothing, this is all specualtion anyway sure he'll make clear when he gets back

*sees microwave with car parts and has a flashback to the rustlers ads*

Is the hazard lights button on the top of the steering column shroud? Or has it been forgotten about?

 

[sei16v]

lol, there was going to be a vacuum guage and a pointless reverse camera sat in the pod, for some comical car show days.... i say 'was' as the car is going to be up for sale in the next few days... Ive had some good news with my partner and need the money thats been invested in the fiat.

Think il be buying another fiat, maybe something along the 1242 route.

As for the indicators around the standard pod, the digital dash now takes care of all that.

It sits under the dash on a custom bracket... which i have yet to fit lol

 

[CLXCraig]

how much out of interest?

 

[anon12]
