Done a bit more on my dash. - Finished all the cut outs, got everything fitted in place, wired up and working!
Instead of having it covered in a material, I've decide to just cover it in black electrical tape, then cover it in stickers! Should look a bit different...

ALMOST got him running! (turns over but just won't start. after another charge of the battery he sounded like he fired briefly but just didn't quite make it!) think he needs a jump/push start but i can't get him off the bloody stone driveway myself haha. :D

have you set the distributor TDC?( I am sure you have) turn it a few degreesclockwise and tighten it again, then try and start.

IMO, no point in carbon, they are no lighter than fibreglass bumpers, just soo much more expensive.

Would just be for the aesthetics rather than weight saving , although cost wise, their not much dearer than a pair of Gen stainless bumpers, my aftermarket ones now are shocking!

Might just go back to black ones :thumbsup:

Had my front tracking checked at local chemmix.

Half n hour later and it drives like a go kart again, not some out of control mess.

did thank if for starting and driving fine, not that it ever doesnt but sometimes the noises it makes does make you wonder.....

fitted the bracket part of an ultimate engine steady then snapped a bolt in the thermostat housing so swore it at a few times and called it a day. will finish tomorrow. maybe.
