Been a good weekends progress me thinks. First off i got me an aldon red dizzy which should help the motor run much much better. The advance curve on the standard one couldn't keep with the engine, but this aldon jobbie is perfect of high reving engines, so should unleash a few more horses
Then i unwraped my next prezzy, 2 metres of red rubber from plastics4performance to make my mudflaps... a few minutes later... i'd cut up me flaps They aint bolted up or anythin yet, i need to wait till the cars finished and the suspension has settled and i've worked out a nice ride hight - i want the flaps to be just scraping the floor when she's done

 

oooooo yea!.... flaps on the healboard

 

Then got back to work on the dash... did this a few weeks back, forgot to show you... carved it out and layed up some fibre glass


Then pulled the fibre glass off the expanding foam and took all the foam out... just to see if it still fits

 

Then i layed up some more fibreglass on the dash pods, and in the meantime, fitted the cage to measure up the doorbars which needed cutting

 

Its a good job i did fit the 'cage when i did, because then i realised the pods wern't gonna fit behind the front bars... so... i brought the whole pod forward to see what its like... here i've just got it taped into a position to see what its like, i think its pretty good, so thats what i've decided im doing now

 

Just testing the driving position... bit frustrating, my comfortable driving position is quite high, relatively speaking. I tried it lower down, but my feet didnt feel comfortable on the pedals and i found moving my feet from the accelerator to the brake was a pain, and heal 'n' toe'in' would be hard. So the seats quite high, and the 'wheels gonna have to be brought forward because at the mo its on my knees and my arms are a bit stretched. Might also get a snap off boss kit, because at the moment i can barely get out, i ave to squeeze my legs between the 'wheel and seat whilst trying to negotiate the door bars its all part of the fun! 

 

Just another pic of one of the pods as i left it on sunday, now with a fair few layers on it, its well solid, im gettin pretty good at this fibreglassin malarky
