Bar far the best part of the build is bolting stuff on - it's easy and you get massive satisfaction!
If only the whole process of modifying could be that way!
Very true, I've found with modified parts nothing ever fits as it should, so I've spent half my time making modifications to modified parts.Quote:

Car modifying........who'd do it!!
Busy day

Should be able to move under its own steam Thursday.
Rolling road booked for 28th June
You're making great progress, just goes to show how well thought out it has been. :thumb:
Thanks mate.Quote:

Wow, this looks and sounds amazing! Seems to be flying along! by any chance are you bringing it to the VBOA weekend? would love to have a look around it!
It'll be there mate. I'm looking forward to it, got a few up north friends that are coming down to look too.Quote:

Assuming it doesn't blow up on the rollers ofcourse!!!!!
We're doing RRG aswell this year.
Bit more progress

Oh and I've wanted a wheel hook ever since I've had a removable wheel!!!
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1448dd618e.jpg
Just waiting on the resoviour to M/c lines which I should have tomorrow and I can get it all bled up and brakes working. So by Friday it'll be very almost complete.
A few minor niggles, the coolant drain won't seal so I've ordered a dowty washer for it and I ran out of extinguisher pipe so couldn't finish the last nozzle.
Nice! I'll keep a look out at VBOA
Well we've got a clutch pedal. All works!!
Had a minor panic, looking down into the top of the box where the slave cylinder is I saw fluid!!! PANIC!!!!
Emergency tampon on the end of a screwdriver
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...280bdad6bc.jpg
Cleaned and checked, it seems the fluid I saw might have been a drop of oil that had somehow made it's way down there.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7576071e87.jpg
Either way panic over!! Clutch pedal has about 50mm of travel, pedal stop all set according to Tilton's instructions.
Now, the DTA S40 is meant to run a coil pack and only has 2 coil drivers. This means each driver is running 2 coils as I'm using coil on plug, even running for a few minutes I have seen coil driver temps of up to 116 degrees and the engine turns itself off.
So, first upgrade!!!
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5d3aa0b01e.jpg
Started making up a brand new engine bay loom as the S60 uses 2 plugs, meaning my S40 loom is no use.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3742d56c9e.jpg
Should have the new loom finished Monday/Tuesday ready in time for the RR Friday.
I've also just heard that the doors boot, bonnet, wings and bumpers are painted
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d34fedc266.jpg
Back up to see Ben on Wednesday to fit them all up.
Clicky click!!!

Didn't quite get reverse properly, need a little adjustment on the clutch travel
:thumb:
Track days soon
Happy days!
Really looking forward to seeing and hearing this... Credit to you for getting on with it so quickly!
The S60 should unlock a few more options for you than the S40 too
Thanks Boff.
I'll be there from Friday lunchtime, I'm sleeping over with Harvey but car will be on display with PNG during the day.
So last few little niggles sorted out.
Change of brake pads and put it on it's wheels and it's RR ready.
