Not much to say that hasn't already been said.

Build epitomises quality and first class workmanship.

Almost a shame to put it in the car and hide it away.

 

Cheers Ross, kind words mate.

Not bad for a DIY home build though.

 

Okay guys, i ran out of large heatshrink on the last few joins so i'll get some more of this tomorrow. Other than that the new harness is pretty much complete.

I laid it on just loose and so far it seems to fit good. I need to add P-clips and zip ties etc when it gets fitted for real. Admittedly im no expert loom builder or electrician but so far so good.

 

Quality.

 

+1

 

those touches are going to make this a real stand out build.

 

AMAZING!!!!!!!

 

Think young Frayz will have to invest in a perspex bonnet to show off his workmanship, would be a shame to keep it hidden.

 

Thanks guys, its getting there. I'm just doing the best I can, but keeping it a home build

 

Truly stunning Frayz fanbleedingtastic!!!

 

Thanks Tom

 

Finished the harness off guys and started making up the breather pipework. I need to get a couple more fittings for the breather and then i can get the manifold finally bolted up. Then i can clip all the haness and pipework in place, then make up my fuel lines.

Also dummy fitted my filter to check how much i have to move the header tank.

Things are starting to look interesting

 

Stunning mate, some real hard work gone in to this , Where did you get your oil pressure remote T piece with the 90 degree fitting?

 

The brass 3 way boss is an LMA item and available from Demon Tweeks. The oil gallery plug has been tapped to 1/8th NPT and has a -4 JIC fitting in it. This -4 fits on the the Goodridge line. The Goodridge line is available from most Goodridge dealers.

If you get the brass boss and give me your oil gallery plug i can tap it for you and supply the line and fittings.

 

Knocked up a header tank relocation bracket. RCM inspired and fits quite nice.
Another item to be chucked in the powdercoat box haha.

Funds are slowing progress, but im doing what i can

 

Well proto #1 has been made of the RCM style inner wing insert. Its a slightly different style than the RCM one. Its deeper and will take a larger dia cold air feed, mine will be 83mm fed direct from one of the foglamp covers.
This proto is to my original drawing and does not yet have a feed to it.
I'll fit this first just as an insert and then make any changes that are required before adding the air feed in the bottom. Huge thanks to Ian for knocking this up double quick. I only gave him a drawing yesterday




Also another bracket that needs making... "can ya guess what it is yet?"

 

Matt Clark is watching your build Frayz....Your doing a great job mate.

 

Don't quite know if that's a good or bad thing Chris lol. Nice to know someone as respected as Matt is interested in what I'm doing.
Let's just say, cheers for some inspiration Matt

 

FE FTW !

 

looks like more of Ian's work Frayz...spot on

 

Yes mate, hes enthusiastic about making one off parts with me so its good fun trying out new stuff

 

Double quick turnaround from Ben @ Hel Performance ensured my hose and fittings arrived for the weekend. The ones in blue are only available in blue at the moment so they will more than likely be taken to be re anodized in black to match the rest.

Oh remember that bracket?

Well now my regulator has a home

 

Ive dummy fitted the proto wing insert today and over all im absolutely delighted with it. It does need some slight alterations, one of which will be to make it taller by approx 20mm. But even just resting it in there with tape you can see it will fit excellent once finished.

I think this is the most exciting thing on the car in ages. Once proto #2 is made we can get the air feed right.

What do you think guys?

 

awesome yet again Frayz

 

Made up most of the fuel lines for the parallel setup tonight. The small line im not happy with which will be redone (thats why its not Nomex covered).
Amazing how time consuming making these up is.

I was dead set on getting the blue fittings anodised black but now im 50:50.

All requires clipping in place and tightening up but i think looks alright at the mo. Once these are complete. The engine is nearing completion and wont be far away from being dropped back into the car.

Exciting stuff eh?

 

Looks stunning Frayz,id leave the blue connectors mate it adds alittle something to the mix imho

 

Cool stuff buddy, was going to make a snide comment about the blue, but really it does not detract in any way, keep it up, not far to go now.

 

WHAT'S THAT CORONA DOING THERE??????? DRINKING AND FABRICATING

 

Lol, Corona are proud sponsors of the Frayz-Engineering build process. Haha, I wish they were! Always seem to work better with an ice cold beer mate.
Jurys still out on the blue at the mo Neil. You're right I saying it doesn't look bad, but then I'm not sure it looks right either. There's no other blue on the car. Although having said that there isn't loads of blue so its hardly in your face.
Not much more to go now guys till we can drop the motor back in. Few odds and sod here and there and then the real fun stuff starts to happen.

Good times
