So, one of Scoobybits' customer's wheels arrived today. Borrowed them to try on the Cliopreza. Wheel choice sorted!!!!! Mmmmmmmm!
Not that I really give a s**t what wheels go on etc as its the mechanical side of it that keeps me coming back to the thread not the looks and thats so easy to change anyway so I wouldn't normally comment on a thread on something as trivial as wheel choice, but that does really look bang on
That ODB pedal box with the cylinders under it is a really nice design as I find most pedal boxes seem to sit too low anyway so its a place you can easily space the space. May swap to similar in my clio at some point as the ones poking out the back I have at the moment mean I cant position it exactly where I wanted as it wont go quite far enough forward as the bulkhead is in the way.

Those wheels look epic!
Hi Chip. OBP do a universal kit car version of that pedal box (mine is Subaru specific) which should do the trick for you. Try Nick at Rallynuts when you're ready, he's been a great help to me.
Yeah thats the one I was referring to, didnt realise yours was a scooby specific one.
Too much! As usual with most projects, I reckon at the end it will have cost exactly twice the original budget!!!
And what was the original budget then mate?
Been a bit busy on other stuff this week, but more stuff has been ordered and arrived, firstly the water hoses,
Quick dummy build on that to make sure the lengths are right,
And finally, THE WHEELS HAVE ARRIVED MMMMMMMMM!!!!
Nice new 9x17 Rota Grids, fresh from our friends at Rare Rims.

Even at double that. What a bargain!
labour cost would be huge though if you were counting that of course. Lol.
Bit of a teaser for you, thought I'd better try the wheels to make sure the offset is OK. It most certainly is!
Fiesta ST3
Incredible mate!
Low and Slow 1.4 16v
10 grand is a bargain for this insane project, keep up the good work!

It's taken a while to get hold of the tyres I wanted for those lovely wheels, however, they are now shod with some nice sticky 255/40/17 Avon ZZRs, as you can see.
At last those V6 arches are filled properly.
More news soon.

Good choice of wheels, look really good. Can't wait.
Coming together, whats the deadline again?
Decided I don't do deadlines any more, LOL! Hoping for March/April to test, first hillclimb is pencilled in for first weekend in May. (Fingers crossed!!!)
More goodies in the post today. Digi Dash and Data Logger.
Data Logger fitted on top of the Simtek ECU and mounted in the car.

After christmas I put this biscuit tin to one side. A glimmer of an idea, and it's shape made me think it might be ok as the basis of a dashboard for the Cliopreza. Just cut out a full sized template of the digidash, and dropped it on. Hey presto! Just need to cut a piece of carbon fibre sheet to fit into it, and make a shroud to go around it, fit the switches, and we have a dashboard. Light weight too!
A bit of amusing banter lifted from the "Uphill Racers" Forum:

Of course you realise now everytime you go up a hill some commentator is going to mention the biscuit tin .

Closely followed by the rescue unit wanting the biscuits.

Hi guys. OK, small update for you. Most of the stuff I have been doing recently has been a bit mundane, and not really worthy of pictures.
However, I have bought a nice new steering wheel, and had the top of the steering column machined to take the weld on section of the removable boss.
So a couple of pics of the wiring I have done on the new wheel for the shiny buttons, which will be to activate the launch control and data-logger.
Also I have made progress with the now famous biscuit tin dashboard. Carbon firbre sheet, instruments and switches. Tasty, even if I do say it myself!

Just in case you are interested, the dashboard switches are as follows:
Top centre, Alternator warning light,
clockwise from there,
Anti-Lag
Fuel Pump
Ignition switch with doomsday cover
Push to start
Hazard lights
Four at the bottom left, clockwise from top left of the four,
Heated front screen
Rear Fog
Side/Headlights
Dip/Main Beam
Side stalk is indicators
Above is Wipers
Hole above that is for Screen Washers (awaiting switch).
Plug for the steering wheel switches will be at the bottom right on the side of the dash, near the hazard switch.
