Right well I've mocked up air box idea number two just to get an idea of size, looks ok, I've mocked up a bit of wire to represent the
bonnet line roughly, also I'm a bit worried about induction noise with this method as it's got to be less than 99db at 3/4 throttle!!! Is
there anyway of getting this rpm dropped, maybe a new power graph showing peak power at 8000 rpm say??

Not many photos tonight but it doesn't mean I've not been busy, got my driveshafts from j&r on eBay greased, built up and fitted
Got a type 054 battery, think it's going in the passenger footwell behind a foot rest, so made the foot rest fit and made a strap out of
stainless
This will bolt through the floor from underneath, all bits need a bit of padding here and there
Then spent most of Sunday drawing and deciding how to do my air filter
First try was with a k&n filter but looks to big,
Next is to suit an itg sausage filter over the top, this is what I'm going to do, I've got to make a new fuel rail and a base plate
Std injectors which will fit in the new rail/bracket
This method seems the simplest, easy to make, most compact and uses an off the shelf air filter

Well got all my anodizing back today, looks sweet
Gear shifter
Roll cage bungs, I admit I got carried away with these, but I do love it! Made a bit of a logo with my initials

all my brake pipes back on tonight, I just need to rivet the p clips on
Rad brackets fixed on and fan fitted
Brake res fitted
My air trumpets turned up yesterday so now I have 4 short ones
Started the fuel rail bracket
Back plate drawn up
Just need to order one of these filters

The effort that you have/are putting in is outstanding, definitely reflected in the quality of your build.
Really like the personal emblem, I can imagine at some point you will have a badge on the bonnet much the same

Thanks mate, it means a lot, it's hard to keep it up week in week out but if I don't I won't be happy
As for the badge, I may already have made it

As everyone else has said, the attention to detail is incredible in your build, I can't wait to it finished and used in anger. When do you hope
it will be on the road? Are you not worried when you finish?

Well finished my fuel rail bracket off tonight, just got to make a few bosses for it
Then onto the handbrake cables, I thought this would be an easy job but it wasn't, the cables weren't really long enough and not sitting
nicely, I was ready to leave it for tonight then I thought about making some exstention tubes
The cables are a snug fit in the tubes and locate on 50mm also it stops them from rubbing on the diff
I just need to make a couple of brackets to hold the cables in place off the wishbone bolts
I've removed the adjuster from the cable but I will still have adjustment on the cable end fitting as it has grub screws in

Well more done today, made some little crush tubes for the fuel rail, also I've vapour blasted the bracket to make it look at bit more
factory
Also I've started making a new gear lever, just the lower bit with the bearings in as its a bit of a bodge lol

More done today, loads of bits and bobs to do, got my clutch cable sorted, had to make a bit at the pedal end and solder a bit on the other end, it
wouldn't solder to start with, to hot I think, but got it done in the end.
Also got all my aluminium engine cradle spacers back on and tightened up.
Then went down my dads and made my air filter backplate ready for the itg filter, I got a drawing from ITG for the outside
Came out mint
Pretty much there now, just need a few holes in it for wiring, air temp and the fuel feed, also need some 3mm spacers under the trumpets to replicate
what was there before as it's got orings that seal everything

I'm sure it is me missing something, but if you use a JC50 filter won't you end up with the secondary injectors soaking it in petrol?

Don't think so. The secondary injectors and trumpets will sit within the dome of the filter.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Yeah thats it, the filters going to cover the lot, it seemed like the best way, simple and easiest to make, also hopefully i wont have to cut to much
out of the bonnet, and it will be sucking cool air, im just a bit worried about the induction noise, but i will have just have to see

Steering rack and track rods re fitted
When I re fitted the steering shaft my break pipe was in the way so I had to make a new one
Rear discs and pads fitted
Done a bit more on my inlet, fuel rail all fitted and fuel piped up
I removed the pins from the injector plugs ready to pass through a grommet but then decided I'm going to cut the lot and put a connector inline
so it's easily removed
Also my air filter came last week and fits sweet!

I know its hard to tell without the scuttle etc fitted but wont the filter stick out too far to see over the top?

Yeah it's hard to tell, I think it will stick out by about 100mm so not to bad I don't think, as some scoops are 50-60mm I will just have
to see when it comes to it
What's everyone else think?

I can't see you finding a good enough looking scoop to cover that.
Would just need to have it poking out through a nice neat cut out in bonnet I think looking at it.
Not sure on IVA and filter sticking out though,would pass radius tests ok but not sure about noise test.

Yeah that's what I was going to do, I might have to make a fibreglass bulge to keep it under the bonnet for iva, I will just have to see I
guess, I just hope it doesn't block my view lol
It's the most compact solution I could think of without laying the throttle bodies on there side

Had a morning on my dads cnc today
These are to go under my trumpets on the inlet to replicate the thickness that was there before
Handbrake cable tags
Works like a dream to!
This is a bracket for over the diff, just need some more grommets

Well got a few jobs done this week, got my handbrake bracket fitted, really pleased with this as its held the cables dead in the right place
Decided on what switches I'm going to use for my dash, and got some switch guards, only thing there 4mm not 5mm so I think they will fail iva so
I'm going to have to push some rubber tube over them I think
Also made a mount for my wheel speed sensor, there was a spare hole on the engine so I used this, it's going to pick up off a long bolt on the
prop adapter
It sits closer than it looks, it's just the angle of the pic
