QUOTE (Hafkai @ Dec 5, 2011 - 9:44 PM)  I decided to completely remove the old ignition system and build me a coil on plug system. I will use a Avensis 7A-FE distributor as crank angle(24 instead of 4 teeth) and sync pickup. The coils are from Bosch (part#: 0 221 504 024), since they're dumb coils withouh build in igniters i have to use an external (part# 0 227 100 211) Those coils fit quite well, the only problem could be the hood since they're connectors face in that direction ...... Damn... what a progress! I had on my old 7AFTE also as option ready coils. They fit well and were from Skoda   Never used them so can not give you feedback for those... -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)

Well... super slow progress but i'm still working on the car... i finally found a garage with decent space so the car doesn't have to stand outside on some else`s property all the time.
 The first thing i did was making space to rework most of the electrical stuff i build in over the years, lots of crap got ripped out there... now all the wires are nicely installed and things like fuses are there too.. woohoo  In all the time between doing nothing and doing even more nothing i decided that this car won't need a radio and most of the gauges got a new place.  Oh and finally.. the engine is running, needs lots of tuning but it is alive First time running and after some tuning first idling  |

Inspiring, yet at the same time it makes me realize how much of a bitch it'd be to do.
Also, damn Ferdi it takes you forever to get anything done.

This is page 3...
 I think that is the most awesome gauge cluster setup I've ever seen. This post has been edited by travisxcore: Jun 28, 2013 - 12:09 PM |

I finally got everything back together and the engine running good enough to take it for a ride.. after 3 years.. this really was exciting
I did about 400miles in 5 days. No problems so far, no water or oil cunsumption, no smoke... I haven't pushed the engine a lot but i did some 3. gear pulls and i think the engine will be nice when it's fully tuned and running high boost. For now i set the boost to 10psi (T28 turbo) and my 80-120km/h times where almost as fast as with the old T25 @ 14psi ... Did a short video of a late test drive, nothing special but i love the look of all the gauges ... 7A-FTE test driveAnd i got a nice set of new rims since the old 16" Ultraleggera didn't fit over the front brake without spacers...
