Yeah It could be done with an arduino, but I will look at it after iva I think

Right small update, had to work on the house all weekend!!!

Water pump blank bung made



Bolted up



Also made a reducer to join these two pipes



Switches fitted in temporary dash, position not final

Relay bracket fitted and leads finished

Hi Rosco
Where did you get the led rear lights also where do you get your electrical bits and pieces from

Thanks
Stephen

lights from here

http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/

and electrics from

http://www.polevolt.co.uk/ and ebay

let me no if there's anything specific your after

Thanks nothing specific at the minute.
I really just like looking at shiney things on the internet

I've bookmarked them. Their headlights and front wings look excellent.

That's dangerous if you have money in the bank!!! :eek:

Who are you tellin. Theres money there but been trying to get a new house the last 2 years so unfortunately it has to stay there for now.

yeah the headlights are really nice, the chap at stoneleigh told me that they supply caterham

Got my electric water pump fitted and my painted pipes back on

Oh and I had to bore out some rubber grommets so the pipe fitted snug







Me and my Dad spent all day wiring, we got the indicators working and the tail lights, and got the digi dash powered up, hopefully another few weekends and the bulk of the wiring should be done! We might try and get the engine started again next week to make sure it still runs!!!

Right, I've been busy on the wiring for the last few weeks, it's all done but needs tidying when I get my dash etc



I've taken it all off now as it was in the way a bit



Also stared on my tunnel panels

I'm using wing beading to brake the edges





Also got my hard pipes rivited in place



Oh and one last thing.............

My body work has been ordered!!!!! Yay

Plumbing looks fantastic..

Electrics Look like a nightmare! I would avoid any screw terminal where possible, not sure the IVA man will like it either.. Or is that just mockup?


TT

cheers, yeah there just for ease to get it proved out, I'm going to get rid of all of that hopefully, to be fair it was so easy to wire up this way as everything was laid out and easy to swap and move things about

Grrrrrr...

Haha i started before you! It will finaly look like a car! :cool:

Indeed where he getting that from traitor lol :p

well you got me! I'm afraid it was ordered before you anounced your new venture :eek:

Thats ok I will ger over it lol

Gel over it......:p

Right full day again today, first job, I wanted to add a throttle return spring so the pedal felt a bit harder

And it turned out like a dream



Then made a sump plug to fit my oil temp sensor, fitted it with thermal cpu compound to try and help heat transfer



Bleed hole

Then got the engine bay loom wrapped back up with pvc loom tape



Then finished fitting my tunnel panels, I decided to use rivnuts and bolt them, I've not used a lot as I'm going to use dots of sealer to stop them rattling





Loom dropped back somewhere near

Pedal back stops done



Then sorted my brake light switch, took me a while to hatch a plan but I think it will work ok



Nice and adjustable



Then a switch will be mounted above so as soon as the pedal is touched it releases the switch

That was yesterday, then tonight I've made a little battery tray on my dads cnc



In place, just needs a little fitting



The clamp will be bolted from underneath the floor and hold everything in

Right well ordered my shocks from protech shocks, what can I say! A perfect service! Even did them all black for me! Well happy

Great idea re the colour!

Right, update time! It's been a while as I've had some issues with my bodywork from Equinox, it's took the shine of the whole project really.

To cut a long story short, hired a van, drove 3hrs, collected the panels, got home and unwrapped everything, almost every pannel had scratches on some worse than others, a few had light streaks in the gel coat, the nose cone had some good blobs of resin on the seam edge where it meets the bonnet

Rang and spoke to Dave and he explained if I wet and dried then polished, I would get the scratches out and I could work on the seam line like this to

He offered to replace any panels I wasn't happy with if I returned them but it cost me the best part of £150 to collect them the first time, in my opinion i should of never been told they were ready to collect

In the end I posted the wheel arches back as these were the worst bits and he refunded me for these, I'm going to get some carbon ones now I think

As for the light streaks and scratches I'm just going to have to try and wet and dry them out, ide rather not have to do this, but hey ho

Overall I was just disappointed as they weren't cheap and he's regarded as the best place to get the panels,

Right anyway, my colour scheme might start to become a bit clearer

Marking out for the first cut, eek!





Marking for wishbones

Air filter hole was a bit tricky but turned out sweet, might make a scoop to cover it at some point



Ordered some tyres and wing stays from Mk, in stock and turned up next day, I wish all suppliers could manage this

Also got my rims





Longer wheel studs and new nuts

First fit of rear wheels, all clears nice etc



I made a handbrake surround, just got to make the cloth bit





That's about it, I've been on with other little bits but that's about it, it's been a bit slow going this last month but I'm trying to get cracking but the body works a two man job really so can't do much in the week

As for the body panels some might think I'm being fussy but I just expected them to be better

It all looks awesome, great choices .

If the finish plays on your mind maybe you might consider a camo pattern vinyl wrap?

Cheers pal, I've got a few more cool bits planned, should look sweet if it all comes together

Yeah I've got a sample of some digital camo vinyl, might do the bonnet, just shouldn't really have to that's all

Yeah that's cool as, that was my other idea just get some camo coloured blobs to cover the worst bits

Lookin good
If you don't mind me asking how much were the shocks
Thanks
Stephen

from here mate http://www.protechshocks.co.uk/produ...ynes-roadster/




.

Did that price include painting them black

Rosco ...you might want to re engineer the front mudguard stays as the book ones are pretty useless, they crack and shake like a woman's mechanical friend
