Nice work Frayz as usual:)

Cheers Rob

Interestingly wonder where my inspiration came from.

Cheers mate :)

Looks great mate . Have you been using fibre glass ?

Gauges and the bonnet both look :cool:

No mate it's all hand made plastic moldings.

Looks superb buddy, inspiring as always!

how you do that?

Magic ;)

Frayz

That car looks mint.

Enjoy you day think it will be quite popular.

Cheers again Phil, I'll be in touch soon :)

Purchased these from a member here and have decided I won't end up using them so back up for sale.
In great condition and available for collection in Essex.

Very similar size to a 225/40/18 as these are the same size as the WRC cars use. They would be superb track tyres and have HEAPS of life left.

£250

These are £300 each:

Rob I hope you don't mind me using the original photos. These are still packaged as I recieved them. :)

So, what's going where the vents were..?

My other 3 Defis mate

Ah I see.

Looks spot on, as usual. :)

I would buy them back bud, but I'm unlikely to see track action this year with the way our house renovation is going!

I'll bump the original thread for you ;)

Rob

Fire suppression system now complete. Jets are hidden in the scuttle. One directed at the turbo side and one at my fuel side.
Can barely even notice its there. :)

Now spot the jets :)

Out of sight and hopefully never to be required.

Very neat job Frayz, looks like a factory job:thumb:

The attention to detail is amazing

Very nice as always

Nice! :)

Probably a stupid question but i will ask it anyway, obviously you can't activate it without screwing the engine bay etc. but is there any way of carrying out any sort of test on the system to ensure the jets are in the right place and not pointing at something that could inhibit the spray and reduce the effectivness or is it powerful enough that it will flood the engine bay regardless where the jets are mounted?

Cheers guys, kind comments as always.

Fozz, not a daft question at all.

Firstly, no you cant test it out as the mess these things make is staggering.

However,

I did put one of the nozzles in the garden hose and turn it on to view the spray pattern to see what i was dealing with. Basically you get a full 90 degree open spray window in a 360 degree conical shape.
One is targeted around the turbocharger area and one at the fuel system, hopefully betweeen them they will cover the whole bay where its needed anyway.
The setup i have is designed to be split, spraying half the mixture into the cockpit and half into the engine bay. I already have a 2.25 Lifeline handheld in my cockpit so decided to use all of the plumbed in extinguisher in the engine bay.
The large extunguisher has 4 ltrs of AFFF foam thats pressurised to 8 bar. When they go, THEY GO!

Nothing is 100% anyway and i guess im just trying to cover everything as best i can. Better to have it than not as they say.

This should give you an idea anyway

:thumb: Cool.

Nice one Frayz,same Lifeline extinguisher system we have too,looks good :thumb:


Jura

Nice installation Frayz,factory fit you might say!

the AFFF ones are OK if you have them large enough, personally prefer the newer "gas" systems and IF you do have to use them there isn't as much mess......they are more expensive though

Awesome as always mate love your attention to detail

Little update of the vent pod.

First design had the meters sunk in and all ran at a gradual slope bias the driver.
This looked okay but wasn't that great to look at from the drivers seat.

It looked like this.

So then I had the idea of pulling them further out and now individually bias to the driver.

Attachment 51679

So now we have prototype #2 and with indevidual hoods is shaping up like this.

Attachment 51680

I'll try this in the car before going any further but it should be much better to view.
If its going to be made bespoke, might as well get it right. :)

is that aswell as the top pod or instead of??

Both. I have 6 meters. Which of I'm honest I wish I didn't have but they do provide useful info and work well.
A Toucan would do a similar job but it's not cost effective for me to do right now.

Hopefully heading in the right direction now.
