carbon bootlid done

i have bought and fit a carbonmods boot pannel.i first marked out the roll cage bars and cut and permanently fixed the 2 x outer sides of the lid.i then cut a center section and drilled it in several places to enable me to put riv-nuts in the rear tub fix the carbon lid to it with m6 bolts. the final part was to bond a section of radiused edge trim to the front edge,as to make sure i dont fall foul of any radius testing during the iva test. the removeable pannel enables me to possibly fit a storage tray above the fuel tank at a later date.

iva wing mirrors fitted to cage. speed sensor mounted

i have bought some suzuki e-marked wing mirrors for the mnr. i measured them up from the drivers seat,marked positions with masking tape and drilled and tapped the cage with a 6mm tap and bolted the mirrors on.i also put some tigerseal between the mirror mounting brackets and the cage for extra grip and to stop the 2 metals rubbing together.
i also have mounted the race technology speed sensor to the mounting bracket at the front of the propshaft.all the wiring is protected by spiral conduit. i have used 1 x longer bolt on the prop so it only picks up 1 pulse per prop rotation!

Fan temp switch,cooling hoses and car electrics complete

I have also recently bought a 32mm hose joiner with a pre welded boss in the top for the temp switch. I have fit this in to the top radiator hose and wired it according to the instructions. A quick check around of the coolant hoses was carried out,and clamps tightened where necessary.
One of the main jobs of the build was trying to incorporate the s2000 electrical components I to the build as well as the race technology dash and dta s60 pro ecu. So I took the car to Jdm Dyno to have the ecu fitted and wired in to the engine loom and decided to do my own loom for the car electrics,-and dash. I using the Honda steering wheel and switch gear for all indicators and lighting, but the lighting stalk switches the earth through a relay to avoid arching with a 12v circuit. I made up my own loom from 7 core trailer flex and ran one from the dash to the rear and 2 from the dash to the front and worked my way through each item one at a time before checking it worked and to my amazement every single item worked as it should first time.

Tunnel electrics fitted. Propshaft fitted and wheel speed sensor fitted

I think I am completely finished in the transmission tunnel area now. I have enclosed all the elecrtris in spiral conduit and p-clipped and riveted it at close intervals for a tidy and secure job. The fuel pipes also clipped with rubber edged p-clips to avoid any chafing.
The propshaft was then bolted in position and the wheel speed sensor fit in a position to catch 1 of the 6 bolt heads on the prop as they spin!

carbon tunnel cover complete.

i have been spending a bit of time trying to make a carbon fibre tunnel cover and have got it done now.

i first bought a 1.2mm alloy sheet,did some drawings,some measuring and some more drawings, unitil i had the measurements i was happy with. i then drew lines on the inside with a marker pen where i wanted to fold the sheet. i then folded the alloy to give it a flat top as i dont like the rounded tunnel tops. i then measured the position of the gearstick and handbrake and began to cut the holes. once this was done i trial fitted it,and once happy i measured up for my carbon and a friend of mine made the c/f to my dimensions. i then stuck the carbon to the alloy with tigerseal and again cut out for the gearstick and handbrake. i then fit my chrome surrounds around the handbrake and gearstick and the end result is nice. i will finish the top edges with a radiused angle.

here is a few pics before and after the chrome surrounds!

purchased a trailer

i also found a cracking trailer for sale,close by so i went to view it and ended up buying it. the mnr fits on perfectly which is a bonus and it tows really well

more progress. oil line replacement

am making good progress at the moment although i have had to make a few alterations. 1st i decided on changing the oil lines from the blue aeroquip ones which i had trouble fitting to the hose joiners to some hel performance stainless braided ones with black adonised fittings.
