Great update as always matt
 
Sick love this build great attention to detail on a track car is class. Really like track cars :bow:

I liked ur fusebox setup too, real neat an simple to follow.

The setup around the exhaust mani is on the money too really cool build to follow :drool:

Will do dude, yet to have a proper play yet. Set it up and got the gas today. Hopefully have a go over the weekend!
 
Like what your doing with the wiring, very neat!

Can I ask where you get all your connectors/terminals from?
 
Nice work on the wiring bud, well it's all nice work really isn't it lol

Generally, eBay as their the cheapest but I've been using 12voltplanet a lot atm. It's hard to find decent block connectors I'm still searching for decent ones to use and that carry a decent about of amps

This is incredible. Absolutely insane man!

Random question, how come you've coiled all the wires before they go into the plugs? Probably a noob question haha.

Its been answered, but they are called 'service loops' basically they act as a strain relief as said, it also make them easy to get a meter probe on if your fault finding, and if you have a broken terminal you should have enough wire to crimp a new terminal pin onto. Normally you would heatshrink over them and bond the heatshrink to the wire and connector with 2 part epoxy to guarantee its waterproof (you can get glue lined heatshrink, but its not very good long term, fine in the car, no good in the engine bay). Nice to see someone doing decent wiring on a project, I wouldn't use that nylon mesh under the bonnet either, if it gets wet it tends to keep the water on the wires, you are better heatshrinking the complete length of the wires upto the loops.

very nice though.
 
Things got alittle carried away, originally was only going to change the rear discs and pads :))













Wasn't 100% happy with the rust repair done on the boot floor and in the corners. so decided it would make a perfect time to make a place to mount the surge tank properly.

Using some CDS cage tubing to keep the strength in the rear, by tying the 2 rear chassis legs together.
Will tie the 2 the shock towers together at the same time by making a strut brace out of the same tubing, maybe tie the 2 together with some x bracing, not 100% yet.
