How crazy does it look here

Visited Ben at Hangar 30 the other night to see the progress and get measured up for seat position and door bars.

It's looking great







Cage will be tagged to 8.5 sec but on top of this he's adding a driver cell, just for a bit extra safety, next step up from 8.5 is 7.5-8.49 which looks pretty much like a Pro-mod cage and would involve cutting the floor pan out, if I ever got to the point it did 8.5 I think I'd be looking at starting on another car with a lot more safety cos that shit is shifting!

Very nice cage looks like its coming on well

Safety cell looks great. Does it not need to steer at all?

[heds]

It won't have great deal of lock but we are yet to add more width to front track and some castor which will give a bit more room for wheel/tyre movement.

Had a bit of downtime at work so made a start on some of the electronics.
Been making the initial part of the loom for a while now, got a connection to Ecu and some flying tails with a comms port and CAN connection.

Rigged up a fused 12v supply, managed to get the Ecu talking to the laptop and even calibrated both the air temp and coolant temp sensors, got the data live on the screen so happy with that, it's certainly a start to what's going to be probably the hardest part of the build for me.







However there is a lot more to it than just the Ecu, all these devices need wired in and have there own associated inputs and outputs, luckily the devices talk to each other over CanBus which is a simple two wire circuit between each device.

Sweet. Look forward to reading more about this. Not clued up on canbus at all so any info and experience is welcome.
