Wanted to freshen the inside and engine bay due to having the cage welded last year I had just brushed in the paint.

First I was going to have it done grey like alot of motorsport cars have, then last min at the paint shop I said lets do it White :lol:

Yes i used to have those guages then last spec change I ran a digi race dash which tells you everything from EGT to what the temperture of my left buttock is... :lol: even oil presure.

This flashed a red led in my eye and then screen scrolled LOW OIL PRESSURE but by the time that occured and the speed/revs i was pulling it was game over.

Featured - the car wont be again I dont think, need to use the dam thing too much time building and not enough driving it. :(

Thank you for your support mind really does help :) :Q

fook me thats not good dude, the oil pump must of just shat itself in a split second.
i couldnt even imagine what it feels like to have something as small as an oil pump destroy something that uve built with all that time and money!!!

so r u building a bigger and better one or u goin for the same spec?

July updates -



Few pics from today where I carried on with the mission of fuel lines.

Image

Bulkhead fittings into the engine bay, and the plastic clips that will attach the lines to the chassis via cable tie.
I opted not to use P-clips for ease of removal and adjustments if needed in the future.

Fuel filter bracket I had made and was machined beautifully by a mate :Q

Image

Wiring loom is going back in and being clipped in as I go Fuel pump loom check! :)

Image

Image

Then the big task the fuel cell itself and the return lines.
