Mikey Jay Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Didn't realise you could buy wiring looms from Waitrose these days Looking good though Mark Quote
NightSpirit Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 Final little update for you on this round of mods...bearing in mind there are still several things I can do (all of which weigh A LOT) polycarb glass, carbon boot, carbon wings, carbon doors, race battery, front exit exhaust, remove PAS etc.Standard mirrors (now for sale ) weigh a hefty 2.46kg...thought I could do better.Made up some base platesFitted and sprayed emAdded the carbon GT mirrors (they weigh 120g!)And now the interior...still needing a centre panel making up to house the switches and fuses (and the gauges aren't plumbed in)Hardest thing was tidying the wire and working out where to run it all ;) The car now weighs 788 kg...still a bit lardy.

riko666 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 inspiring stuff as always ;) Just waiting for a week off university so I can take the dash out, strip out any unnecessary rubbish then plumb it back in again, though I'll keep the dash entire for now, don't quite want the car to resemble a jungle gym quite yet Quote
NightSpirit Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 Cheers ;)The interior is now purely functional I like it...and the added bonus is that because the rubber bungs etc to the engine bay are now gone...you get a nice breeze through the car as you drive lol Quote
SiCaln Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 you certainly are a minimalist my friend Quote
Guest Enzo Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 amazing stuf bud, one thing though do you have a heater of some sort in the car, ul have a nightmare with window mist without one in our climate, Quote
NightSpirit Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 I'll sort out the misting problem when it occurs ;) so far even in torrential rain (that wasn't fun) it hasn't misted up.Might borrow my nans two bar electric one Quote
Nanglebadger Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Mark man thats awesome work!!!! really likin wot u have done!!!! keep up the great work dude, the mirrors and gauges look GREAT!Phil. Quote
Sparky Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Loving the mirrors mate....I am not biased ;) Coming along well....as you say she is still a bit lardy Quote
NightSpirit Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 Next thing is to get this engine swap done, if all goes well she'll have around 380hp per tonne and 0 traction ;)Driving the car is pure fun though, got to say...it's taken the fun that is the EP and concentrated it into a purer form....awesome Quote
RobSR Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 watching this with interest, can gather good information for my topsecret project... Rob Quote
