Car looks awsome!

Any advice for a noobie trying to create a track car.... Im at the point where I need to sort out the wiring loom. Want to get rid of anything I dont need ( CL, EW, EM, rear wiper, AC etc.) but not sure the best way to remove stuff from the loom without causing problems or creating a fire hazzard! I have reasonable knowledge of vehicle wiring but not much hands on experiance of removing stuff from a current loom.

Any advice would be much appriciated! Keep the prject going!

I was going to do the same and I did start to strip the std loom and spent about 4 hours on it and realised that I was wasting my time so still used the actual wire from std loom but re-used it for a new purpose built loom to save money..

The reason for this it that std looms all seem to be a bundle off mess I don't know how they even make them there so bad, as in wires all wrapped round other wires so hard to pull out the wires you don't need, they change colors all the time from one connector to the next

It can be done just would take ages if you want to completely remove all wires not needed.

 

I tried all that in my build, there is so much bodging in the wires too... one wire will feed three other wires further down the line... took me hours and I just gave up in the end, and put it all back in (minus the ABS wires & unit)

 

Been following this love the matt black wrap mate, was thinking of going same route on my build, was it expensive? and does it scratch easily mate, been told it does, also fella what do you think of it?

 

It was ment to be £1000 but didn't pay that cus it isn't right, It would mark if you say run your nail over it so if it was a daily driver I prob wouldn't do it. But it is only a track/race car so won't matter as it will be covered with stickers at some point

 

Looking good daz, shame abot the wrap mate, was down there collecting my engine when your car was getting done and the said they were having trouble with it.

 

They do you engine or Karim ?
Am pi**ed with them as it was more than wrap that got f**ked up in the end....

 

Na got my engine off amir mate, they have a sweet setup down there. Is it a prob with the fiberglass or is it the wrap it's self.

 

Not had any work done just picked up a long block to strip and re build

 

It's the fitters believe they all shut up now upset to many people.
Nice enough bloke but takes more than that sometimes

 

oh well plenty more people wrapping cars around cant wait to see your car all done, might have to pop down for a sneaky peak!!

 

It's not there at mo gone off to get exhaust manifold and system made, not looking good for 1st round of TA, might have to use my bro's Type R

 

U still going twin scroll? Loasdsa time left mate got till the 23rd lol

 

what class are you in mate ?
are you booked on for the championship or one hit wonder

That's the thing I wanna do the lot but have to pay up for all by 12th, so undecided as the exhaust maker takes his time so and I know he won't have it ready in time so even if I use another car is it worth me using subaru for just last 3 rounds ??? might just enter the Type R for it all if he lets me

And when subaru done just do the AAA and Nippon rounds which are local.
I don't wanna rush it and go to TA and not have had any track time in it at all as you know what these things are like something bound to happen.

Am going to make a twinscroll manifold to go with my big sump but not the turbo at this stage as I bought a twinscroll T4 housing and wasn't to keen on it so going to try the Tial SS housing to start with, get a bench mark and try some stuff bit later in the year

 

Honda Type R that is not much on it but looking at the FW drive entry list it should hold it's own hopefully

 

class looking car there.

1 question- with the fibreglass arches are they not weak, say if a stone flew up and hit it would it not smash?

 

Na plenty strong enough

 

new engine loom done and most of inside just need to wire up a fuse box now

 

put some grip tape on floor and added the battery and electric cut off

 

Rear bulkhead in and painted

 

comng together nicely

 

Yeah getting there slowly still hoping to do last 3 TA rounds, need to whip those 2 supra's that done well at oultan

 

Just out of interest, where did you get the grip tape from and how much if you dont mind me asking

 

That would be skate board grip tape m8 ebay

 

Few bits test fitted to bay


And getting started on engine build

 

Mock up for modded IC



Gunna give this new sump ago as well, only as pauls(ZEN) kit wasn't about when I bought everything.

 

Short block built
