Danny's K Series Conversion Project Discussion Thread

[Danny]

looking at your extension lead, I wonder how i put up with that arrangement for so long

was usually fine, my old man mowed it a couple of times a year which was a bit annoying

Its only there till i get the electric from the offices... today is the last day of any electric

I have not been doing anything on the buggy recently as we are days away from exchanging on the property/land purchase and I was £382 short of the deposit... lol ANyway we should be all sorted first week of feb

How much was the deposit Danny £385?

Which means I can then get electric back in my garage once i have some spare cash and start building my other building in the garden to store the buggy while I build something else.... I am looking at an E30 but not sure at the moment

E30 isn't that anti wrinkle cream?

Always wanted an E30.

Recently I got an E92, I decided that seeing as V8s are a dead breed, no time like the present

 

[Mini Mad Max]

Awesome! This and the R1 engine make it seem like you have a bit of a fetish for revs

 

[wagon_1.0]

lol not to mention I also have triangle power

 

[Phaeton]

Now they are fun, always wanted one, but the good ones are too expensive & the crap ones you don't want.

 

[wagon_1.0]

Mines a crap one

 

[Phaeton]

The V8 from the BMW will fit ;D

 

[wagon_1.0]

ah yes.... that idea

or m5 v10

 

[Danny]

we like revs

The sweet sound of my inline 4 reving is awesome

Hi Danny

Just spotted this from CBS

https://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/ ... ing-module

and thought, that looks neat remember seeing that somewhere else



I bought all the individual parts, didn't realise you can get a whole auto electrics kit to terminate into.

 

[Danny]

hahah yup

 

[Danny]

It worked a treat for me

The one buggy I did with it I wasn't impressed, can't remember exactly but one of the issues was the horn was wired the opposite way around, so on a standard Mini it earths within the steering column to sound, this unit needs a wire in & a wire out of the steering column if I remember rightly. There was also an issue on the way the indicators/hazards were wired, bearing in mind it was a modified Mini harness being used.

We only had an issue when we decided to wire a constant feed to the alternator

I've had the same issues as Alan with mine. Some things also permanent live that should be ign switched live and odd quirks like that. I just ended up taking nothing at face value with the instruction manual, and figured out what works with a multimeter. Perhaps they resolved all the gremlins by the time Danny bought one.

Yeah he wired it so every time you went over a bump the engine cut out

Judging by comments this almost looks like a standard freestyle wiring module option that wasn't factory fit but but builders have adopted by coincidence. Funny I hadn't come across it before now.
