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

Re: M4D RST - June Paintshop.
gutted when i heard about the oil pump dude! real shame

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...
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

Re: M4D RST - June Paintshop.
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?

Re: M4D RST - June Paintshop.
July updates -
Few pics from today where I carried on with the mission of fuel lines.

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

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


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