finally, after 3 long weeks of waiting, they've arrived
as you can see construction has begun, felt like a lil boy again playing with lego. so much fun.
few problems i've discovered so far:
- wiring loom has been made for a left hand drive corsa
- plug on wiring loom for coil pack doesnt fit the fancy coil pack i was provided
- plug for lambda sensor (well the one marked as lambda) has about 25 wires going to it, and another plug with it marked temp - exhaust temp??
- also there are plugs for oil pressure + temperature, which i didnt have before, a plug marked airbox?? as well as a plug marked 'air temp'
- connections for starter, fuel pressure, alternator, crank and cam
i can see there being lots of fun fitting this

more things i remembered:
- have to drill the manifold to accept vacuum adaptors
- need new trumpets as the ones provided dont fit inside the filter

you probably wont need to connect lamda, depending on which management you use.
wires you will need to connect are:
oil pressure (unless you have it through your starting loom)
coolant temp
air temp
throtttle position
coolant temp (for dash)
fuel pump control wire
tacho
dis pack
crank sensor

thats what i thought, as thats what were connected last time, just wondering what all the other plugs were there for, may as well connect em if they're there
the one marked lambda has 8 wires, and theres another unmarked cable which has the same wire colours etc as my old lambda (2 whites and black)
off to email SBD now and see what they reckon
