Depends what strobes ur thinking of i got pace car stylee strobes, in the headlights and in the rear lights. I've always fancied em i dont care if you think they look chavish, i like em

Still sorting out little jobs today, the alarm was being a pain, i kept wandering why the things wern't working till i realised the alarm kept automatically re-arming itself. Managed to work round it in the end now all the wiring is pretty much sorted, just need to get some of the more connectors for the altenator and the wiper motor and some side indicator bulb holders.

Started putting the windows back in this afternoon, also still gotta fit the exhaust, gear linkage and carbs back on... then stick some fuel in it an away we go

Heres a pic of the full dash all together and finished...








Cheers peeps

Well, in the pic the mudflaps aint acctually attached I'm gonna wait for the car to level out, then fix them on bout 1/2inch off the floor. Then just dont reverse quickly

The coiled wire was from RS components. Just search for them on goggle, then search 'coiled cable' on their site. Not sure about the indicators... i'll be a bit stuffed if they do have to self cancel i also dont have a steering lock anymore which i've also heard comments about regarding MOT's. But ive seen plenty of cars like it, so i'm hoping it'll be fine.


WELL... It lives Mwahahahahahahaha

Only one little problem tho... i've managed to fry the coil now It was fun whilst it lasted tho gotta wait till monday now boo hoo hoooooooooooo. Got a few bits to get on with tomorrow, but i've retired early today because im tired and a little fed up now, just been spending all day running round like a loon, fixing stupid little things, i'll get back on it tomorrow maybe and i'll take some finished pics tra tra

Well, first proper drive today, was absolutely incredible! I really really miss my car when its not on the road... but waiting so long just makes it that much better when you get back in it

The only thing that disparately needs sorting is the front camber, its got way too much, on the main roads its okay the tarmac is fairly smooth. But i prefer it to be set up for bashing round country lanes, and at the moment its far too choppy. Lots of neg camber means the car is getting pulled into the tram lines and dips in the road. I often found myself being pulled into the middle of the road.... scary when you're goin round blind corners and theres a car coming the other way!! It also happened when i went down a dual carriage way, i'm constantly wrestling with it. Fair enough, it has incredible cornering ability, but whats the point if you cant go in a straight line

But on a good note... ... i fitted the new dizzy... the aldon red, and my god was it worth it. Its completely transformed the motor!! It pulls from lower down... and it just keeps going, originally i had the rev limmit set at 7000, but after realising that it now has more potential, i up'd it to 8500, and it just pulled rite up to the limmit with no hesitation. Really must get this to a RR asap to see what the real potential is after a proper tune up, its unleashed some serious power, just hoping its going to be dry tomorrow so i can see what it can really do.

Still getting used to these indicators i think i spent most the day driving round with one or both of them on at any time :S At some point i mashed the hazard button too by accident... i dunno when exactly, but i didn't realise till about 5'o'clock when i went to the petrol station  

Didn't get any pics taken of this finished beasty.. i'll get round to taking some tomorrow if the weathers better, i want to put my mudflaps and door squares on too if i get time.

Yea cams still a 286 dog.

still playin with the car, cant leave it alone... yesterday i kept burning out condensers and coils so i decided to steal the old electronic ignition i got with the 1071 and stick it in the new dizzy. Works fine now Then i decided i should put the mudflaps on, so done that too. I also lowered the rev limmiter to 8000rpm as a 'bit' of a safer limmit. The noise it makes on the limmiter is awsome by the way, ill have to get a vid, but imagine a car misfiring at 8000rpm.... thats what it sounds like, i probly shouldnt do it to often really

EDIT - went and took some proper pics...
