Yeah I know the feeling mate
Have you fitted your doors yet ?
Please can you tell me a bit more info about the slave cylinder set up you have used as i have gone back over the past couple of pages and cant see much, seen the pics, but just wondering how you have mounted it and you talk about a different seal too? any chance of some pics showing the side of it and the mounting procedure or similar etc?
cheers
ben

Looks like progress mate! Doing a wicked job on it... bet you wish you had a quarter master twin plate now ;) Im glad i never got an ap after reading the sh*t youve had to do to make it work! Those alternators are a lovely bit of kit (2.2kg iirc) the one thats on my sh*t box has the small multi V pulley cause i had troubles with the single v turning its self over above 8k
Keep up the work... not long till Fast Show at pod! mines in bits for a couple of cheeky upgrades ;)
Did you ever get the rose joint setup? I asked but it never materialised!
Whats the cheeky upgrades lol. Yeah I do bout the clutch but it's done now lol. Keep your eyes peeled in the next couple of weeks about the tie bar kit
iv a sneaking suspicion you didn't get any piccys today captain G??
I did mate inane only been packed up for about 30mins I'll sort it in a bit.Quote:

Hinges fixed to the car. (work in progress)

I then started doing my rear strut brace. its been an after thought but ill paint it once its done.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04114.jpg
Check out the new mounts for the harnesses.
I also started to triangulate the rear brace to cage hopefully finish the other side next week.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04115.jpg
I will try and do more pics for next weekend and a more definative update.
Cheers for looking :thumb:
Well I started my week off with a bang lol. I had the monday morning CBA attitude, but I managed to get started this afternoon.
I got the second triangulation for the rollcage/rear strut brace done.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04136.jpg
My shoddy welding :(
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04138.jpg
As I was in a rather calm mood for once :roll: I decided to tackle my nemisis, the pedal box. I haven't been happy with how it sat it the footwell since I originally installed it, (So much for OBP quoting that its a direct replacement for the O.E gear). I got my noggin into gear and got stuck into it.
And came up with this.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04141.jpg
And it seemed to do the trick pedal box now sitting straight.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04139.jpg
I wasnt happy with the gap between the floor and the pedals so I had some 3mm aluminum bent to 1"x1", and finished like this.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04143.jpg
But with me being anal im not happy about the gap at the bottom of the ali.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04144.jpg
So I have ordered some 30mmx30mm ali angle to re do the cover then it will sit flush with the floor.
Hopefully I will have some more updates tomorrow, with everthing piped up and the wiring done ;)
Cheers for looking Gareth.
Also forgot to add I got a nice ebay bargin last night bought some pro race 2 alloys in 15". One rim possibly u/s other 3 are good. Road trip on sunday lol.
Coming along nicely now matey :thumb:
Cheers chris I got your mail but didn't have the chance to reply. Will that be the bit people normally cut offQuote:

Like looks good. Like the harness tabs.
There welded on mate then fibreglassed over for the smooth look. Cheers about the harness tabsQuote:

Don't even get me started on the copying lol that's a nice 7.25" clutch you got there ;)
Haha what can I say mate your my idol :D
I wanna go faster before I think about braking with a nice pedal box!! My list in order would be Slicks, Nos then maybe a pedal box haha
Lol do I inspire you mate you best keep watching then cause it won't stop till it's in the 11's lol
ok, well a decent explanation will help me along in doing mine i think, i am running a small block gearbox yes, you mean the turret as in the base mounting? i am running an AP competition post clutch and paddle unsprung clutch, i will have to measure the amount of movement and width i will need i think and consult the catalogue.Quote:

Cheers pal that will be great :)
Right all a small update.
I have managed to pretty much finish the pedal box now just waiting for the bits to do the throttle cables. Hopefully they wil be here on sat.
First I ran the new rear brake line through the car. I wasn't happy using copper line as it just didnt look right.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04150.jpg
How it comes into the car
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04149.jpg
Then I finished off all the hoses to the master cylinders.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04153.jpg
My new piece of ali angle turned up today aswell so i re made the piece to cover the front.
Just painted
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04157.jpg
I did get it fitted and into the car but I forgot a pic ill stick that on tomorrow lol.
Im hoping to finish off the engine bay tomorrow. I.E paint the chassis leg where I did the calibra mount conversion mount and Im going to paint the gearbox but Im unsure what colour to paint it. Im undicided between black, blue or silver. As the hoses are blue the block is black and the box was orignailly silver. anybody wanna suggest which colour to go lol.
Cheers Gareth
black wont go grubby looking like silver and blue wood
