5th July 2018

This week was one I was so looking forward to but obviously there were so many factors that could change and not obtain a very significant part of the build. The K24A motor was fully re-built more than five years ago and had simply sat in the corner waiting to actually do what it was intended to do…start!

I was really lucky to have Evan Morgan solve the engine loom problems with a plug from a Honda Jazz Loom that he connected to the K24A loom. This while I am writing seems such a simple task, but it took nearly eight hours. Evan was extremely confident in the loom, however we were not that confident in the car loom being about to match Evan’s work! Well it proved to be true as the car loom had a mind of its own and many hours of searching and testing still left doubts hanging over the Friday start.

Friday 10:00am Evan arrived, attached his laptop to the ECU and loaded a startup program. I would love to say it started immediately but with many head scratching options it finally came to life…what a week!
