Pics of the cage please steve !

 

Liking the dash a lot steve !

 

Cheers, it took me a while to fit it , and was a fair amount of effort but i'm glad i did it.

front and rear section





mounts to bulkhead behind dash



also to sidewalls under dash



Above windscreen



At B pillar



Had to remove the sunroof



Original panel welded back in

 

I've now updated the megasquirt ECU to a v3 board and modified it to control fuel and wasted spark, this new ECU has been mapped by Toyotec





I'm also trying a different inlet manifold thats a 16v lower section cut and welded to a 20v manifold. It frees up a lot of space in the engine bay and allows me to refit the eibach strut brace. I'll get the car to a RR soon to see the effect on power output.



I also picked up another set of 15" MO's recently these came with clio cup slicks fitted



I've also modified my gearshifter setup a fair amount, fitting bearings to the all smiles shifter and the tower in the box full thread here

 

Looking good Steve!!!

Awesome car just gets better & better....

Cheers
David

 

Looking good Steve. Have you got any pics of the All Smiles shifter installed?

Did you manage to fit the lower strut brace?

 

Cheers,

this is a very old pic of part way through the initail installation



I'll try to get an upto date pic this week.

The lower brace didn't clear my 6 speed box [:^(]

 

love this car , just what a mk2 should be .

 

Yeah!!! I like it lots!!!

 

Did you build/install the cage yourself dude? What figures do you reckon your pulling? Any differenve with the 20v mani on?

Dan

 

do you have any more pics of the dash? what did you make it out of?

 

Thanks for the comments,

My dad and I installed the cage ourselves, its a bolt in 14 point but strengthening plates have to be welded in at each mounting point, lots of work but we got it all done in a day.

Not sure on power, it probably needs a tweek to the map as i've swapped the KR cams for ABF ones this week. I'll get to stealth when i've got time.

Dash is an AW Tracksport one, made of fibreglass, heres a few pics:

Plain dash cut to clear roll cage



Cutouts for corrado adjustable height steering column and relocated clocks



Removed the heated channel from the original dash to mount on the tracksport dash, holes were drilled in the dash to allow the air to reach the screen





Back from flocking



Heater controls moved



Megasquirt connection point



Finished

 

The best bit of the car. The reason i bought this particular car was because this was fitted to it. (A very very lucky find on autotrader )



I then added a peloquin diff



H&R ARB's fitted this week



replacing Eibachs

 

Lot of effort getting the dash right there steve - and a great job, what with the 'plain' starting 'canvass' !

Plenty of nice parts on the car now, and look forward to seeing it out again.

Do you still have the sunroof removal step-by-step, or is my mind playing tricks that there were more photos?

 

Cheers Chris, i'm looking forward to getting the car back out on track this year.

The original sunroof removal thread is here but most of pics have died as they were in a picturtrail account that i no longer use, i'm up loading them to my photobucket account now so will try to edit them back into the thread.

Edit: pics in sunroof thread now work.

 

Liking it alot, very nice spec and some neat touches

 

If you don't mind me asking how muct has this all cost as i am looking to turn mine into a track toy.....

Lot of work gone in there and its looking very good!

 

I'm not sure how much its all cost as i gave up trying to keep track of the costs ages ago.

Lots of bits have been bought second hand and i've bought a few cars for certain parts and then broken them for spares to recoup the money. I would imagine its cost around 4-5 grand.

 

This looks awesome, I dream of my car looking like this!!
