I do like the crackle black finish on the centre switch panel :)

Not bad for 2 weeks work:

Looking awesome as ever.  Where do the 2 pipes that run through the big holes in the inner wings go? Breathers?

 

You'd think they'd at least pressure test those servo's. Especially with it being something safety critical (when used for brakes not clutch that is).

Yeah, they're engine breathers. They're one of the things I'm waiting on parts for and will eventually go to catch tanks under the wings.

 

I agree 100% with your comments on the servo. I could start ranting but I've done a lot of that this week and it's sorted now so I'll say no more.

Awesome work ! looks great !

Awesome as always.  Looking forward to hearing what the engine sounds like :)

Awesome as always.  Looking forward to hearing what the engine sounds like :)

 
Me too, especially when it's barking out of this:
 


I went for a Maniflow stainless medium bore LCB and a stainless twin box RC40. I'm probably going to loose a bit of top end power over the full 2" large bore system I had when the engine was fitted to the pick-up but it was just too damn loud!

Is there a supplier for the polish you are using ? Try as I might, the polish I'm using still results in my car being a turd - and it isn't even a turd with glitter on it.

Well, it's taken me a while but I think I'm finally happy with the way everything's laid out in the engine bay.
 
In the end I reluctantly had to move the clutch servo under the wing and get rid of the fresh air scoop. Although everything did fit in the engine bay it made getting to the clutch slave almost impossible.
 
With those gone I could fit a different air filter and will be eventually have an oil catch can made to go where the servo used to be.
 
The car does run but I don't really want to use it until it's been mapped properly. I'm booked in at EFI-Parts for a new ECU, wiring loom and full mapping session in a few weeks.

Looks awesome.  How come you've decided to move away from the SC ecu? 

[podifold]

Partly for personal reasons having dealt with them and partly because Chris at EFI-Parts is more comfortable with the Adaptronic ECU.

Very nice mate. Out of interest did the HT leads come with the number tags or or are they clip on.
