I wish there was a smilies for over the top of my head , my brain has gone BOOM :rofl:

Please look away now..as it’s going to get complicated when we get to real time analysis, time based correction, parametric equalisation and the effective use of Q and pros and cons of higher order slopes in designing high, low and bandpass filters :thumbsup:

You should have gone with an old 8 track then all you would need to worry about was where to store your cassettes :rofl:

Times move on…I arrived in time to see the compact cassette take the car market..the joys of Dolby B…it was a simpler time… :thumbsup:

Blimey! Let me know when you get to fitting the blind spot monitor sensors. :rofl:

Once I’ve worked how to get the rear bumper off..I think it’s relatively simple ?

I think it is. anubiszed has a video about mounting parking sensors where he shows how the rear bumper comes off.

Thnx..I was pondering that the man would have had to get the bumper off to do that…wonder if anyone has a similar video for the front..?

and mine . Took me a year to pay it off and that was with a deposit :)

Later on I was involved in some music industry stuff…spent quite a bit of time in a private recording studio..they had 5 of their rigs in the studio..geek heaven.. :thumbsup:
 
So after a minor cold before Christmas and a mother of all colds after New Year back to the grindstone.

Many things to do and still takimg more bits off than putting back together.

Today fitted the boost sensor tap to allow the IDMotion digital instrument cluster receive its boost pressue readings from its own private off board pressur sensor.

As usual with these 35d party things even more of a f€%£fest than even BMW offers.

The very expensive Forge Motorsport version of the boost sensor tap comes with a nicely machined sluminium fitting and supplied ‘with all the fittings’ for N20, N54 and N55 engines.

Takimg the old screw out..M5 standard I pondered on the new screws..some discrepancies it seemed..


Yup they had provided some fairly brutal self tapping screws..perfect for fitting to a precision machined aluminium casting…not..

Fortunately I had some suitable screws albeit with a Philips head rather than torx or Allen..

Anyway now fitted..hopefully there won’t be a boost leak from it.

The ID4motion wiring harness was designed for LHD car..there’s not enough cable to go from an instrument cluster on the RHS across to the duct on the left hand side into the electronics box in the engine bay.

So I’ve ordered a 2 metre boost pipe (20 bar) and sent that into the pax cabin via the electronics box..I’ll fix the new ID4 specific boost sensor in the paxczbin then I’ll have enough cable to reach the ID cluster.

Whilst I was there I laid the cable in for the front parking camera.

A suitable 13mm hole drilled in the electronics box and then some black sealant to render it water tight.

How to spend most a day..

Looks like the ID4 Cluster is going to be a bitch to fit..

I just can’t see how it’s possible to fit the cluster in place and/or do the necessary cutting away without dismantling the whole dash.

The picture from the install shows the top binacle removed ..which is an integral part of the dash..

The lower binacle has two screws holding it in place that must have been fitted to the dash before it was fitted to the car….

Anyway..I’ve decided to rip the whole dash out and tackle it that way…quite a job..

You can see how much ‘meat’ extra the new display has sticking out..

The suggested cut marks make open heart surgery look easy..

Heh ho..another Bondar Heavy Industries expedition..
