did a little on Saturday so no much to update but I've now fully built a custom wiring loom and fitted tried to make it look wiring loom less so its all hiding out the way, fitted the fire extinguisher with pull cables, had my new polycarbonate windows made from acw motorsport plastics so far got the front and rear screens in, fitting the arches are a pain. made up my goodridge 811 ptfe fuel line though out the car, I didn't realise that they change the rules on internal fuel lines so had to spend a fortune on this stuff. And a few slow boring jobs but should be done less engine for xmas

Looking good, but I do suggest moving the battery cut off switch, it needs to be in an accessable area reachable from the drivers seat fully harnessed up

[Artful Dodger]

Internal fuel line regulation change? What have they changed? I'm using goodridge 200 series hose, and so does every other car I run XD. Any reason for the mega expensive 810 hose??

Also, what colour is this?? Looks similar to mine XD

[summs116]

well I thought that but for the past 3 years in my old car it was way over on the glove box door area and it doesn't say harnessed in the 2014 msa book just able to reach when sat in the seat

Love this photo! Mini and a T4 being worked on...my two motoring hobbies. You're not messing abut with your build, what colour blue have you painted it - looks close to Tahiti?

[summs116]

well I haven't read the fuel rule yet but I ran 200 last 3 years but it always smelt that I had a leak,(which I never did) and on one of my last scrutineering they smelt it and told me that the problem was the 200 series. a few other mig boys had the same problem too.

[summs116]

the blue is just a 2k gloss tinter blue. its the blue colour that all blues start with before the add all the other colours to make the blue u need if you get what I mean

Oh, that! It's a race car it's meant to smell of fuel! We had that once with the rs500, I just said if there was a leak you would blo0dy know about it because it would leak right on the rear wheels, and 550 Hp with no grip is pretty obvious!. just leave the doors open longer:D
