quick update, relocated the battery and tidied some wiring, now using a slimline dry cell battery and still producing 14.9 volts with heavy gauge cable, was worried i would loose some voltage putting it in the boot

pic of cluttered bay before



battery out, chopped tray out at the strut and drilled the spot welds from the bracket at the bulkhead



tidy 'ish' wiring and no battery, you can now see my gearbox!!!



small battery in the boot



very pleased

also got my horn working, speaker/crossover/tweeter in the passenger door working and did a compression test

1. 120
2. 115
3. 115
4. 120

not too bad, running low comp pistons and a 1.9mm headgasket so them figures seem fine?

little update, fitted a voltmeter and switch pannel for my power steering and spal electric fan, also got a good strong live from battery to a splitter box so i can run a live through a switch and relay to my fuel pump so it gets a good voltage.



pic of my racetech gauges too

todays update,

1. got myself a unit, 6 car workspace, pit, single phase and 3 phase electric etc so theres going to be some major and interesting progress this year mainly to do with grip/traction and a change in inlet/exhaust/turbo

2. fitted my new brakes,

280mm willwoods, drilled and grooved discs (hell these make some noise under hard braking) both new callipers weight as much as 1 of the old ones, alot firmer pedal.

old disc 284mm....



new disc 280mm drilled and grooved....



big old heavy single pot v6 calliper....



new light 4 pot calliper....



comparrison



quick pic of the mtech conversion hubs while the disc was off



more updates soon.

Update please just been reading through it all

Saw the car at pvs and it looked v v so if youve got any updated piks that would be good.

Also did you have any experiance of c20let's before this or did you just crack on with it as im unsure weather to do mine myself or pay someone to do it, some bits just look really complicated....

got the fueling system sorted, pleased with that, just a shame theres some 8-10mm reducers where i needed them, may work on that though



got a good offer for the speedlines so they hadto go, picked up these comp mo's for good money with 888's on, bit big being 17" but what the hell they were cheap and look good.
