[FRSJON]

another engine?! metal i love it

yes another one..the one in the car is using standard rods and 'if' they become a problem then the new engine car replace it.. trying not to get too carried away with another engine yet as i still dont have a working car to put it in
also now have some pro race 1.2 wheels and another set of toyo 888's

[jonyb4]

PR 1.2s are always a good look on any car imaginable, good stuff

[DALSY]

car looks lovely, how does it drive with the 8 inch wide wheels

how does it feel in comparison to the RS2000, must feel pokier with the turbo engine

[FRSJON]

a few more parts fitted...

quick release steering wheel hub..



fire exstingusher..



and the pedal box is coming on nicely...if not a tad expensive ..





more to come ..

[Dave G fsi]

This thread always refreshes car enthusiasm when its flagging, looking awesome Jon!

[- Danny Boy -]

Looking good Jon! That pedal box does look very smart indeed!

[FRSJON]

cheers chaps,i know what you mean dave,i just want to hear his thing running pedal box is already at £800 and i still need to buy more fittings.. got a nice tilton 3 chamber reservoir for it though.. must stop buying fancy bits and get it running

[Turboboy67]

£800 for the pedal box....ouch

Only around 10 weeks to Santa Pod mate

The question is, do you really want to drive it when it's done ?, I'd be frightened of getting it dirty tbh

[jayrs]

sorry how much

[FRSJON]

it will be driven but wont get dirty santa pod is looming it will be there but just a bloody orniment
the pedal box was £450
master cylinders £100 each
and theres a easy £100 worth of fittings in there so more than £800 just bought more as well to go to the reservoir just wish i had more time/light to get it done

[FRSJON]

more turned up today.. brake/clutch fliud reservoir



and some -4 fittings for it

[Dave G fsi]

Looks smart that

[FRSJON]

cheers dave,just have to find somewhere to put it im thinking heater blower hole recessed in a sheet of carbon...mmm

[Dave G fsi]

That should look pretty swish, go for that I would say

[FRSJON]

That should look pretty swish, go for that I would say

probably will but the trouble i have with this car is trying to not make look like luca's..his reservoirs are there as well ... and trying to keep the bay as clean and empty as possible....will see where it fits

[Dave G fsi]

I have seen a few mounted there in the past on various cars, think it works well and looks smart too. As you say, have a look round the 'bay and see what's what in terms of room

Pedal box is epic. Something I wouldn't want to put my feet on though I guess you'll have a nice pair of Sparco's on when driving.

would be nice,we will see

[FRSJON]

no major update,fitted the fluid reservoir, set it in a sheet of carbon and bolted it in where the heater would go,couldnt find anywhere better to put it




loads more parts have turned,trouble is there replacing parts ive already fitted to the car happy days
trial fitted the pedal box and it looks like the drivers seat needs to go back loads to give more leg room trouble is the seat is very close to the cage so will need some thought

[jonyb4]

very neat mate!! sits in there like ford did it

never had a look from behind the dash, can you easily access the bottom of the resevour?

[Turboboy67]

That's gonna be a right ball-ache mate as you'll have to alter how the seat bolts to the floor bars,
plus your arms might not reach the wheel if the seat goes back to far

Can you not get a different pedal box that would sit in a similar position to the original pedals ?

[Dave G fsi]

Looks perfect there Jon, nice workmanship

[jayrs]

looks like it was ment for it mate, very nice

well its either weld more bars in for the seat to bolt to or have a section made up to square the floor up where the master cylinders fit...tempted by the latter.. as for the steering wheel as i now have the quick release boss fitted it 50mm closer..the only problem i can see with moving the seat back would be changing gear next time im down there ill look in to cutting a section out the floor and having a section made..depends what under there

[FRSJON]

Looks perfect there Jon, nice workmanship

cheeres dave as you can see in this pic there isnt alot of room for error (only around 2mm each side) between the yellow top and the white bottom,all routered out free hand

[FRSJON]

cheers mate,as i only have the dash (no heater or centre console) the bottom of the res is just sat under the dash
