Looking very good.
What are you going to do with the cutted roof scoop?

Do you think the plastic honeycomb grill will melt from the heat from the engine bay over time? Or is the plastic heat stable? It was a concern of mine and whether to use aluminium grill instead. It's looking really nice so far and the grill shape works well.

friday night, wife out for the evening, kids in bed... beers and bodywork time!! first pass with a glass reinforced polyester. was going to mix my own, but found a complete series of filler products from the same chemical company (Voss) who also make the resin ive been using for all the glasswork. so im assuming the filler bonding to base won't get any better than this

Getting there!
Electrical / wiring question for you (just to change the subject) - With the E39a ECU you are using, does it use a feed for the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor), as I know some of the modern ECU's use torque management functionality which requires this (and is tricky on the Lotus chassis as they get a processed vehicle speed from the ABS system..)?

thats one for Dominik - i cant emphasise enough how much of an electronics hardware/software retard i am

Trust me, you are surely no more of an electronics retard than me Sir..

This is one of many points why you need the almighty "kopp racing" firmware on the E39A
I programmed an unused analog input to acquire Vehicle speed.
Like in all modern setups the OEM E39A gets VSS via CAN - which Lotus ABS does not support - plus you can not easily emulate the OE Astra ABS because of checksums etc.
So really the best and imho the only way is to get VSS directly wired.
The wire is already there because of the old Z22 and Z20 ECUs, so just plug it in the new ECU and let the KR firmware do its magic

Thanks for chiming in Dominik. Yeah, the (lack of) VSS seems to be an issue for anyone using the E39/39a , although some seem to have at least got around the issue using various hacks..
Unfortunately your magic only works with the A20NFT engine..
Posted 22 October 2018 - 08:56 AM
Yeah I think I know... - the guys using the A20NFT for their airboats?
But on a car I'd highly recommend using VSS + TM on a car.
Even a racecar is so much better with the Torque Management on because the ECU knows your speed and calculates power demand and the sharpness of response.
For example when driving through the pit in first or second gear without TM and the throttle set to maximum response you look like an idiot riding a mental camel from the side
TM smoothes it out perfectly without inducing lag.
It gives you smooth load transition out of the 2nd / 3rd gear bends which means you can floor it at the apex, the throttle blade instantly goes WOT and then the boost comes in quickly but smoothly.
Not only A20NFT - they use the ECU from 1.0l 3-Cyl up to 7.0l Chevy stroker V8
That is why I specialized on that E39A - because its super versatile and has built in high voltage converters for driving Direct Injection.
-.- somehow I cant copy the tables...
