Got the rear subframe off, and most things off the back end, found a bit more rust than i expected, but its not too bad, also had a go at offereing up my curley boot floor, to see where abouts i need to cut.






now i need to find a new drill(as mines broken0, so i can drill out the spot welds on the rear valance.

Whjat you gonna do about the battery box mike? is the battery going inside the car? backseat?

[RacingGreen]

Yeah, the battery is going behind the passenger seat on the floor of the car. I've made up a battery box in ally to cover the battery when its fitted.

Took the loom out of the car today, and had a go at removing the alarm and immobiliser from it, and making just an engine loom out of it.

Hopefully when ive finished il have another loom for the lights and all the interior electrics and a 3rd loom for the rear of the car (petrol tank,etc)

mike.....Why lol

I wouldnt have the patience to do that, fair play to you.

[RacingGreen]

Why? because it saves me plenty pennies instead of buying a custom loom, and im trying to move as many electrics out of the engine bay as possible, so this way, only the engine wiring will be seen. The rest - fusebox, lighting loom will be inside the car and the lighting loom will only seen on the inside of the flip front.

Can stand loads of wires.

Today i didnt get alot done as i had to go out but i did get the rear hinge panel cut out and found a bit more rust than i expected.

On the bright side though i got myself a bargain on ebay yesterday and went to pick it up today.





Set of mikuni carbs off a kawasaki zx6r, for the huge sum of £10, pleased is not the word. Will ring bogg brothers up on monday, to see if i can have a manifold made up.

Il be sending the carbs off for the manifold to be made, when ive got some money after christmas, so hopefully things will mover along then, as thats hopefully when il order my front end too.

i was only planning on using two of the carbs. I did have a think about bigger carbs, but i decided on these as the engine will be a 998 with a 1275 head. So i would have thought that these would be big enough for what i need. I take it your engine is a larger bore?

Thanks for that, yeah its bogg brothers i'd spoken too, he will be sorting my carbs out in the new year. Seems like he definately knows what hes talking about.

[samwell]

very nice. Are you going to get him to make up 2 manifolds? may be cheaper and then you can sell the other manifold with the 2carbs u don't use... just a suggestion

[minipete]

All three Definatley know what they are talking about.I won`t let anyone else tune my Mini or my Dads.
