Pauls supercharged rocket build

[erik]

I feel your pain! I was pretty frustrated by the qty of outsourced work I couldn't do myself and it took forever to get them back and needed rework! 10 months waiting for 2 wheels was terrible as well. I am lucky Mini-me needs a lot of sleep at this moment but she'll need me later

Over 20 degrees C in the garage, 2 or 3 evenings a week free, 1 day per weekend is project time, agreement with boss to have half days off work as required, no kids.

But still no progress for over a week due to parts still in transit that should have been supplied in my box.

I'll say nothing mate, I read the new thread on kit in a box, you have shown good restraint buddy.

[Paul (madeye)]

sorry i cant get just a picture on..

Don't quote me, but there are certain security measures that must be met, and it may be two out of the criteria ie, steering lock and ignition key etc, or steering lock and approved alarm etc

I'd do this post iva to save any arguments, or part wire it.

Regards to radius, if you stick it in the exempt area of the dash, you'll be ok, but the radius looks good anyway. I like my "end of the world" switches lol.

[Paul (madeye)]

where is exempt??

There is an area behind and to the sides of the steering wheel that is exempt from the radius testing.

There is a diagram in the iva manual, and it all depends what size your steering wheel is.

i knew about it but was not sure on the dimensions etc

i forgot to put this on last week,
i popped the light bar on to see the colour contrasts, and also to see the horrible lights in position.



will obviously all be replaced with single 20mm LED items, and a race rain light, at the correct time.... OBVIOUSLY..

Space the lights back as well bud for iva, so they're flush with the rear tyres

Just use temp brackets. Also, I have a good circuit for the led rain light flasher lol

[Paul (madeye)]

just bloody missed one for a tenner on race cars, brand new

so, the engine is nearly done at last, it was getting timed up when i left, still need the top cover from steve.





i took this earlier in the day. starting to look nice though.
the waterpump housing and the engine mount bracket are lazer cherry, other ancills are blue (obviously)

i think i dont need all the brackets ive had done though

[Paul (madeye)]

so... how hard is it to lay carbon fibre??






well, to get it to lay, not strech the weave, look nice, and keep it tidy with no fingers..

no its bloody hard...
we shall see if the release agent works in the morning, think i have just put a finger print in too..
