got my dash 2 fitted, and rad fan waring light.




finally got round to fitting my race technology dash 2 and radiator fan warning light.
the mnr scuttle is a funny shape and the dash 2 would not mount to it directly so i riveted a carbon effect sheet to the scuttle to take away some of the original scuttles double curve. this enabled me to mount my dash 2 square on,with no gaps around the edges. also put an illuminated warning for the radiator fan to stop me leaving it on.when the engine is running its very loud ands therew is no chance of hearing if the fan is on so the illuminated symbol should let me know to turn it off in case i forget!
i have also covered the pannel in edge trim to make sure its IVA ok, even though its in the exempt radius area behind the stgeering wheel

hybrid drive shafts fitted



finally got my hybrid drive shafts back from driveline, and fitted to the car. absolutely stunning job they did in making these shafts,as im using a honda s2000 differential and ford sierra rear hubs. i had 4x complete shafts (2x honda,2x sierra) and gave them measurements.the end result is spot on and they fit perfectly

brake fluid resevoir,filler unions and clutch cable done





i have bought some nice brake fluid filler unions and IVA proof hoses as my last ones were leaking from a seal. bought 2x 7/16" male to male unions to screw into wilwood cylinder and 2x adonised filler unions to screw it them, easy job and look really tidy too! and no leaks which is a bonus
akso dobne my clutch cable which i got from HEL performance.in yellow. p-clipped to chassis rails and connected to master cylinder and clutch slave

IVA booked so some more fettling of bodywork!



have more or less got the bodywork completely done now, its all in position,all vents are done and NACA duct vents straight into PRM intake now. all holes are drilled through bodywork,riv-nuts inerted into chassis and bolted down in position, arches securely fixed also with riv-nuts and bolts. its starting to look like the finished article now!

spoon N1 rear exit exhaust done and new LED rear lights fitted





i took my car to exhaustafix in darlington this week to have my rear exit exhaust done.they made a fantastic job of it and were very helpful and full of good ideas. i had a full spoon sports N1 system from a honda s2000 which i wanted modifying to suit my mnr. they re worked the pipework in stainless and the result is exactly what i was after.and hopefully a bit quieter than if the tailpipe was by my right ear!
i have also fitted a new set of LED rear lights which i found. all e-marked for IVA purposes and straight forward to fit to carbon pods,which are also angled to make them all vertical,again for IVA reasons. the look is just what i wanted! im slowly making progress with IVA looming

dash almost sorted




almost got my re made dash sorted now after buying a race technology dash 2 system instead of the s2000 clocks which were provind difficult to wire.i have got my DTA S60 PRO ecu installed and the car startds and runs sweetly. i opted for a stack analogue oil pressure guage and an aem digital AFR guage and controller, as well as the required savage switches needed for IVA

battery,header tank and fuse box final fitment





got the scuttle pannel correctly fitted and positioned, bolted the battery down to avoid it moving whilst braking or cornering, fixed the fuse box to scuttle pannel with m6 bolts and some nylon spacers to space it off from the scuttle pannel and washers and nylocs on the inside. i have also mounted the header tank to the pannel with m6 bolts and nylocs but first i put some sticky foam on theback of the mounting brackets to avoid scratching the gel coat
