Thanks Nick :) trying to work out how to go about tubbing the rear arches
Been working on the brake setup

Test fitted the new seat :)

Got a box for the front of the trailer
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb14814201/p5pb14814201.jpg
Primered a couple of bits for the brake set up
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb14814192/p5pb14814192.jpg
Almost finished the brake setup just a few more tweaks needed and to finalise pedal heights

Had to take out support that goes from one side to the other so cardboard templating up a new one and working out where hydro is going to be mounted on top :)

I love this, the hydraulic clutch looks great. Always been tempted to move to a hydraulic clutch.
Most don't bother putting the cross box back in, I didn't bother with mine.
Thanks Iain :d hopefully it works well, just wanting to make the shell as solid as possible
Left the cross box till later in the week :) Mocked up hoses for the radiator, fabricated slam panel and mounts for top of the radiator

Also the cage and rear turrets are pretty much finished just a few bits in front of the firewall to work on

http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb15302813/p4pb15302813.jpg
Mounted the bottle and started work on the wider front bumper

Looks good are the arches having moulds for fibreglass panels?

Had a look at the rear moulds on the car

Have removed the loom from the saloon and labelled it up, stripped out the unnecessaries and started to label up the honda loom
Fitted bootlid again with seal and it seems to be sitting well just need to work out where to put pins, to keep original holes or not
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15417499/p5pb15417499.jpg
Checking a few bits and bobs before finishing the cross brace
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15417502/p5pb15417502.jpg
Put both seats in to get an idea of space inside, passenger side just sitting on floor with no rails thats why its so low http://storage.proboards.com/forum/i...ley/smiley.png
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15417501/p5pb15417501.jpg
Made a start on the dash with some 'CAD'
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15417500/p5pb15417500.jpg
Bodywork's gonna look special & unique I imagine.
At this stage I would advise a better steering wheel column / angle and getting the gear shifter in towards the driver more, as if you leave it you'll struggle to improve things once all the dash is back in.
Looking to do something similar to what we've done before with the dash setup as shown in pic, the column and shifter are in a good position already? [emoji848]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...87b2c78039.jpgQuote:

I always thought the shifter position was strange in the Civic, it's not until you actually drive one you realise it actually feels very nice where it is as it's nice and close to the steering wheel.
Nick
I can't agree with the steering wheel position / angle
Can understand :) have you tried it? The steering wheel position has not been finalised but I'm almost 6ft5 so its not ideal for others, seems to work for meQuote:

http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15457247/p5pb15457247.jpg
Put the wheels back on to roll it in and out
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15457251/p5pb15457251.jpg
Started mock up for the dash setup
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15457241/p5pb15457241.jpg
Made mount for Honda ECU
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15882671/p5pb15882671.jpg
Mounted in car
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15879069/p5pb15879069.jpg
Some more wiring done
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15882672/p5pb15882672.jpg
Made some flat sheets of fibreglass to progress with dash
http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15898909/p5pb15898909.jpg
Took the looms out to strip and tidy up a bit more
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15915184/p5pb15915184.jpg
Fibre glass sheeting ready to start basic dash shapes
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15915186/p5pb15915186.jpg
Picked up a pair of 6 point TRS Harnesses
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb15915178/p5pb15915178.jpg
Mounted battery and roughly placed anderson leads

Started work on the indicator stalks, looking a bit rough but with a bit of work should clean up.
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb16117512/p5pb16117512.jpg
Also just been told harness eyes will have to be moved as the harnesses are supposed to be at 45* angle going in to the seat so will need to fix that :wtf:
Made inroads to stripping some weight out of the driver side door, original door sans door card weighed in at 16.81kg with glass. Managed to drop weight down to 10.39kg so far but that is without glass. Still think there is more to come and then to replicate with passenger side.
Further progress with the dash mounted the passenger side panel with 4 tags, hole cut for the kill switch - might need to support panel a bit more there for safety, placed the ignition and starter switch.
Starting to see things coming together more and more. :d
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb16117558/p5pb16117558.jpg
Some more work on the dash, not sure how the shoes got there lol
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb16237356/p4pb16237356.jpg
Progress on the switch panel
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb16237363/p4pb16237363.jpg
Almost finished the pedals just need to make a couple more adjustments then work out wether to add grip tape or similar
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb16237361/p4pb16237361.jpg
Started work on the IRS setup
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb16237357/p4pb16237357.jpg
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb16237353/p4pb16237353.jpg
Need to modify the fuel tank a bit more
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb16237354/p4pb16237354.jpg
Trying to work out where we can put tubes for triangulation whilst retaining modified tank and wheel well
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb16237359/p4pb16237359.jpg
Tacced in the IRS support tubes
https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb16255103/p5pb16255103.jpg
So is that going to use both ends of the beam and the original beam mounts? I can’t picture how it’ll it’ll allow the wheel to move if it’s also mounted on the wheel well.
Can't wait to see this finished.
We had it the wrong way in the photo lolQuote:
