well, bit of a lull at the moment, still waiting for some parts to arrive to finish of the induction pipework, ive managed to make most of the cold air box...

i started measuring up for the aluminium underbody aerodynamic sheeting...and managed to fit one under the engine, just needs fine trimming

still looking for more advertisers though, so if anyone wishes to advertise on the car, PM me

and im still looking for a main sponser

forgot to add............went on a little jolly yesterday, about 6 miles(on trade plates)

it drove remarkebly well, only problem is the ETCS.have to push the accelerator to the floor to get it to rev, but it got to a sprightly 100mph, before realising that

a. non street legal race car, painted matt black and dayglo orange

b. public highway and amazed other road users

wasnt a good idea

as the car is much lighter now(about 400kg), AND MUCH LOWER AND STIFFER!!! the steering is so crisp and responsive, the handling is........well pretty dam amazing, however, i am a little concerned with the brakes......there too dam good now.

as the car is lighter, it doesnt take much to get them to (lock) activate the ABS

and it sounds pretty good......

Thanks pete,

the pictures and text dont really do Justice to the hours ive spent faffing about with stuff trying to get the whole package to work.

there has been lots of dead ends and fabrication required to overcome what initially seemed simple ideas.........

WELL,WELL, WELL...................

got in the race car tonight to move it back onto the ramp........and.......it....runs perfectly :blink:

so all these bleedin check engine lights ive been having for the past 3 weeks, i have no idea about, and heres me just about to start re-tracing the moved wireing loom :crybaby:

all i can think is the short blasts i took the car on over the weekend must have reset the ecu and re-programmed its learning curve...whatever

it runs fine now, the ETCS works fine, so the only outstanding electrical problems now are the Heater controls, and the normal beam on the headlights.

WHOOPY WHOOPY DOO

Today i also started to mount the Harness's..and all is going swimmingly well so far
