The main purpose is to improve the airflow through the radiator. As there is a high pressure in front of the bumper, radiator area I need to reduce the pressure behind the rad to enable higher airflow through it. As there are no real exits to the engine bay area the pressure under the bonnet...

As some of you may have seen on various other social media platforms we have finished the livery design, which we ran at the first MSVT official test day at Brands last week!.. I spent weeks playing round with livery designs before finally settling on the following base design... I planned on...

Yours is particularly shiny I’ll give you that! Haha!! [emoji6] .. so glad to see your so close to getting out in it now!.. you need to invest in some heli tape to protect the paint by the wings/doors from gravel rash

Hi Will, that’s fine, everyone has their own view, no offence taken [emoji1360].. was it the addition of the bonnet vents that tipped it over the edge? [emoji23] .. to be honest we’re trying to showcase the car and get sponsors for this season.. sponsors are far more likely to want to be...

Thank you very much for your support and kind words.. I do oddly enjoy the wiring side of things, it’s definitely something that if you spend the extra time on you can get some great results.. Again I was lucky that my time at McLaren I was able to learn a lot from all areas of the business.

I’m trying to catch up on all the work I’ve been doing.. one of the jobs I did a couple of weeks ago in preparation for this season was to fit bonnet vents to help the airflow through the radiator, and keep the engine bay temps down.. (water temps were on the warm side during the summer testing)...

Haha!!!.. do it, would be a great match.. suits the quality of your car too

That’s a shame!.. needs must tho, and I’m sure u could always get something in the future tho.. never say never!

Thanks mate!!.. just saw you’d stripped your car [emoji3064] .. I’ve obviously been living under a rock lol.. that’s such a shame!

Hi.. two reasons really.. certain wires are for CAN Bus signals going between dash to car and dash to GPS, these wires have to be twisted to cancel out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources, power cables or other twisted pairs... and secondly the main wires where there are a...

Thanks mate!.. appreciate it [emoji1360]

@AdamCup @jamebryan .. haha!.. interesting question.. I’m not sure really, never thought about it.. with the cost of the parts on the car and all the custom designed stuff and labour and level of detail it would probably be about the £15-£20k mark at a guess [emoji2371] I’m always going to think...

I also managed last week to make the dash loom and connect it all up. You get a connector and pin out to start with. I started the wire the main wires required. I also made a wiring diagram to understand all the additional wires I’d need for the extra sensors etc Then set about finalising...

It is sandwiched between the column clamp I made and the support bars.. this way I can adjust the angle of it before tightening up the joint I got the shroud back from the flockers last week and fitted the dash and the GPS unit

Final shroud assembly in all its glory... Now just to get it flocked to give it that finishing touch, which will match the current dash top we have installed

Bit more work done on getting the dash fitted over the past week.. I designed a dash shroud to both mount the display to the car and also prevent some glare at the same time.. Ive decided to sandwich the mount inbetween the steering column clamp and supports. This way I can easily adjust the...

Yeah the full set isn’t cheap is it!.. but they’re well priced compared to most of the other options out there I thought, with a lot more functionality too. A good balance I’d say

Yeah the quality and even the base templates are really impressive.. have a look at the manual on their website, u can see all the features.. I’ll do a post with the fire up.. just in the middle of wiring everything into the car now. They also do have a test dash which they can turn on and...

Yeah I saw that one at the autosport show, I had a good look around all of them, Bosch, AET, Motec etc.. I weighed up all the options and we’ve gone for the ECU Master ADU 5 .. the functionality and levels of customisation sold it for me, and the guys at ECU Master UK were by far the most...

It would be interesting to see, I’m making a gantry to help engine removal (more transportable than an engine crane) so could use that to raise the back of the car up... I’ll add it to the list haha

Nice one thanks, that will be a good reference.. where did you mount your sensor? It should be a good indicator if there is a potential problem with the box, excess friction on the gears / diff etc. No worries, I’m used to you borrowing them now [emoji6] .. I’m sure it will get dirty once...

For Racing this year we were really keen to get rid of the std dash, as it was only useful to see RPM, Fuel level and rough water temp.. it was always our plan to fit a digital display and mount it to the column as per an old post I did. We really want to make sure we have all the data we need...

Haha.. it’s on order! Should be running shortly

Looks lovely!!.. makes me want to get the engine out and clean everything up.. I’ve just added pressure and temp sensors to ours too

Haha thanks mate!.. appreciate that. Hope it was useful ... I’ve got some interesting things coming up soon, so will be posting those up too!

Have a look on my build thread.. I used rivnuts in the door and bolted from the inside, the bolt pushing against the window.. to force it against the door seal

Not yet, just fitting some sensors to the engine then filling it back up with oil before we get it running again., will report back when we do

Thanks, fingers crossed we can get some results [emoji1694] .. yeah we have the duct being fed from the front bumper.. it goes into the scuttle area, then down into the cockpit through the hole where the heater used to sit.. then attached to the gearshift frame and points at the drivers.. blows...

I’ve been a bit quiet over the past few weeks/months.. it’s been crazy busy organising everything for the racing, managing my full time job and planning a wedding at the same time.. it’s all coming together now though.. Here’s a bit of an update as to what I’ve been up to.. more to follow I’ve...

Nothing worse than an over crowded track day.. far to many organises these days try to get as many people as they can on track, it just ruins it really.. that’s why I like the open track events.. ran well and they keep the numbers down
