Just been threw all the pages and now falling asleep lol but wanted to say a great project and a true inspiration and a real credit to those who have worked on the car

 

looking very good.
1st time i seen a project with so much work behind it (the computer software etc)

 

Awesome

 

Is it back from paint yet Clive?

 

JUNE 2012 UPDATE





The shell has now had it's final prep for painting which will be carried out over the next two weeks.


A vast volume of work has been done on this shell turning it from a rally car into a track machine.
There is still fabrication work required to the rear of the car however this can be completed after paint.


When painted the build begins as much is ready and waiting.

 

Different

 

awesome thread took me 3 hours + to go through the lot
can't wait to see the finished article

 

Looks fooking awesome!

 

Fantastic

 

Cheers gents

 

Looks mean
In the last picture, on the wing, is that a scary face or am I mental?

 

Subaru ****!

 

Looks spot on guys, you're really going to town with this. Can i ask what shade / colour is that?

 

Remember a roof flap

This looks epic. What is engine spec?

 

No scary face. What you smokin fella

 

The final paint colour has not yet been decided but it will be similar to the photos above.

It will include some small parts in my company yellow (similar to AA yellow) but very little. Roof scoop, bonnet vents.

Rota Drift 9.5" wheels will be sprayed as black as yer hat and lacquered.

 

Will you be going matt or gloss finish Clive?

 

If I was young enough to pull it off I'd say; "Dope Clive"

We will be experimenting with some spare panels on a finish. We want a matte finish but there are negative issues with it. so we shall be trying different lacquers on a matte paint.
Problem being that regular lacquers alter the paint colour a lot. We are trying to eliminate this by finding the correct lacquer finish (ie not gloss).

We will get there in the end.

 

New front end adapted and ready for the large Inter Cooler.
















Bay from another angle (before and after)

 

It's usually only the top line premium clears coats that don't effect the colour so much as they are actually 'clear' and don't have a slight yellow tint to them Clive,I find sikkens superior is the best clear I have used for all round quality.

 

Thanks for the heads up chap.

 

Before and after pics look incredible, wow

 

Good work Clive, do I spy a cut out for a modena sequential?

 

LOL you certainly did matey . Been meaning to phone you since returning from The Ring.

Your car is coming on well....... nice colour.

 

P2 will have a 3 way remote video system onboard and having done some research opted for these bits. This will be linked to GPS to provide live footage from our website www.skullfudge.co.uk. (not yet built)



3 HD camera's to include the new GoPro HD2 - AVCHD JVC and The Oredon Scientific.







HD full screen jobbie


Having also researched sound I have opted for an external mic to capture the sound correctly.
The GoPro Hero2 obviously has a built in mic that works okay but I tried the external mic the other day.


I gave the GoPro a test yesterday in my P1. It was a bit overcast so that didn't help but the stability of the camera was pretty good.

I had the windows half open using external mic that hung down from the camera and was clipped to my camera back on the passenger seat.


Flapping noise is an airfreshner hanging around in the back.


I will be doing further tests with camera's including angle lens degree / camera locations / positioning of mic etc.

Widescreen will be set up for the next one


If anyone is interested I can post the footage to give you an idea of set ups.?


Here is my first test

 

seems like u know that road pretty well
car sounds awesome aswell

footage is nice and clear and good sound too

 

Hee hee hee All looks and sounds in good order

 

You will have to excuse what appears to be a suction mount mark on the windscreen.

The night before I braked hard and the Mrs hit the windscreen open mouthed

 

Sounds great through the tunnel
