Charlie28 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Good progress as always! Can't wait to see this thing! Quote
Socks Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 Ok So RaceDash2 wasnt designed to fit a Glanza.... It does JUST fit into the surround though, so I needed to get in mounted in some way... The back of the clock surround is not a flat surface, which is a pain. So i made it flat first... Then using Autocad, drew up the mounting dimensions of the racedash and mounting points. Because I dont know what other displays/gauges will be in there yet and because I need to draw the outer size/design/shape on autocad. Its been laser cut out of 4mm mdf. For the time being... The end result was: So I cut it down/finished it off by hand (I can then scan this in and draw that in cad and get it made in carbon/plastic/metal anything I want) It will get the car usable at least Doesn't look straight there, the dash is straight and perfectly centered. The bottom of the trim is different on each bottom corner. Strange! Quote
morgey Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Ooo fancy, its for the key part of the surround id imagine. Thats going to be an awesome little setup! Quote
RobSR Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 If you have enough sensors you won't need to run any other gauges as the Dash2 can display it all if your ecu is capable of running a CAN interface. Was going to put one of these in Si's build before he decided not to continue it. They are an awesome bit of kit. Quote
mikey4410 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 ohh look at you with your fancy dash display,not that I am jealous in any way at all (tosser) :-Dman this car is just insanely perfect,the parts and detail are just savage. Quote

Fanx BestMate... Anyways...... Test Fit.... That picture is taken from my eye line... So its kind of perfect. Have to see what glare is like, may tilt the dash forward a bit if its an issue... Few odd bits of fabrication left. Mainly tanks...Pas Fluid Res, Oil Catch, Coolant Overflow & Washer Bottle! Front End is all built up now too! Bumper, Indicators, Lights, Wings, Bonnet is all back on! Very close now. We are going for first start on Monday! Wish us luck! Quote
