thanks to ryan (prodriverules) for selling me his fuel rails top man !

 

No problem Lee,glad to be of service mate
Looking forward to seeing the motor finished,alot of time,money and effort gone onto it so well done Lee for sticking with it and seeing it through

 

Just want to get it out a nd drive it again going to feel totally different especially with the slicks on!!!

Thanks mate for your support and knowledge to all

 

Not a problem at all mate,with all the mods you've carried out it will no doubt be like a new car to drive!!
Oh and a lot more powerful

 

Well suprising how quick mondays come around when your off work anyhow another busy day iv'e had down the garage ,first job was to install the hand held extinguisher under the passenger front seat ,easy job really and made sure to fasten with 6mm s/s bolts as stated in the msa rules .

Next was the plumbed in system pipework ,i fed the 6mm o/d pipe through the bulkhead via a grommet and cliped along with the pull cord from switch panel and the windscreen mounted pull cord,then i fitted a t piece and aimed one spout over the exhaust downpipe/turbo manifold and the other pointing over the right side of the fuel rail.

The switch plate was then drilled out ready for 4 more switches that il be purchasing tommorow ready for relays and wiring to take place next week.

pics of the day:
















2 pull cords and pipework ready to connect to plumbed extinguisher





Quick release boss fitted to wheel awaiting delivery of momo to fit together



Black counter sunk screws will be used only one's i had to hand

 

Some real nice touches there, I like the switch panel

 

Cheers mate 4 more switches to go in then relay block and fuse board underneath should be pretty full when finished.

I had to order the 3 position switches for headlights and washers 2 speed ,off/pos1/pos2

 

Fuel rails posted today Lee,should be with you tomorrow

 

cheers ryan another job for me to start then getting closer to the remap

 

Not far off now!

You should get it running before winter?

 

Boss release button should be on top There's an indicator on the boss remain as to upper location

 

Hopefully dan that's my aim to get it down to corten miller for next remap as live mapping is Not impossible as no tax or mot .

 

Thanks mate wouldn't have noticed that only put it on temporary to ensure fitement thanks , not a bad boss really feels secure and didn't break the budget either

 

Well having a disasterous week off, nothing productive done to the car as im waiting for parts.

Body shop havn't even started my bonnet or roof yet as they have been busy with all the superbikes that have had offs and repairing and respraying all there work first .

I wanted to get the roof and screens in this week but not going to happen now till next week.

Major problem sourcing correct fuel rails and fittings but been intouch with carl davey and even all his v6 billet rails are out of stock so may have to order from the states.

Spoke with alex austin from Torques who supply all an- fitings and a great guy to deal with very knowlegable when it comes to his buisiness (fuel fittings ) etc.

All on order awaiting delivery .

I suppose it had to happen sometime or other but i will get this project finished and get it out on track hopefully some testing before the bad weather sets in ,but im starting a shutdown at work for a couple of months so will be raising some much needed cash to finalise everything i need.

 

Momo boss came today so fitted that with quick release boss and it was crap, the momo was fine and a good solid fitement.

When i bolted on the quick reease boss the movement in it was crap so took it off and put it in the bin could imagine that thing coming off in my hand at 100+ mph up park straight no thank you ...!

So decided to just stick with the momo at the minute well happy.







looks alot better and feels solid



Trying to contact mocom racing for there fuel rails having difficulty in doin this as they are not answering the phone .

 

Just a few small jobs i got out the way today CF sparco pedals were fitted simple job just marked and drilled holes found some black counter sunk bolts and nuts with washers .


Next was fit the remainder of the switches to the panel ready for rewire just push button start to install.



Fitted a few decals to rear spoiler ,tow stickers etc also had the car outside for the first time in months ,looking forward to getting the roof and bonnet back from spray next week but going to be busy working for a few weeks so progress is going to be limited.

 

All happening on friday roof is back from paint (finally) only taken 3 weeks to paint but will be bonded in place friday morning ,then front and rear screens going in not long after.
purchased a front whiteline ARB so that to fit as with boot catches and new wheels so busy day to get the car ready for pick up for rewire next tuesday.

 

Bet you will be glad to finally get the roof on!?!

 

waited for this for about 9 mths as soon as i regreted taking it off but nearly there now mate

 

My expert "masticer" pete applied the tiger bond .

 

 

Looks great, shame you didnt go body colour on the panels. They look well, like they are replacement panels from the dealer not painted. LOL

 

Lee looking very nice,loving your project

Jura
