managed a bit of time on the vx today as i found my rick astley cd finally

must remember that next time i order a custom charge cooler tank i actually go outside to the car and measure it up not guess and think yeah that will be ok its TIGHT and i mean mm tight but its in!

i will leave the pax seat out to make sure there is no leaks as there is no chance in sorting any leaks out with the seat in but when the car is all running perfect and im back on my feet again i will get another tank ordered and fit that and will make it a little smaller and easy to fit!

anyway a couple of pictures:





oh and the pax seat with the harness bar does still fit

i will be making a bracket to hold the beastie 1200Lph cc pump up using the airbox bracket bolts

also need to slightly tweak the 90 degree bends on the Y piece and then clamp/bolt everything down! but work stopped play, will crack on with it tomorrow

Looking good mate. Is that a plumbed in fire extinguisher i see and was it hard to fit as i think i might have to put this on a list for stuff i have to buy.

[The Batman]

yeah piece of poo poo the only thing is the bike cable pull chords are JUST about right size!

[haggi961]

Nice one and thats good to hear as everything else is normally a bastard to fit.

[The Batman]

Whether it works or not is a different thug It's just another ticked box for time attack

[The Batman]

Finished off my cc system today luckIly managed to get the tank to fit *NOTE* to overs measure first I was lucky this time!

Also re-routed the system from the above picture so that the water into the pump and then it pumps it up which I have been told by the supplier is a better way had to be a bit spaghetti junction getting it to all fit probably £50 worth of silicon bends

Also mounted my ecu, harrop and couple of little bits and pieces

You can see the tank pictured here:



will clean up the engine bay monday and show you how it is currently looking like. I drastically need to get my spare cam cover powder coated

[The Batman]

Got my leathered interior, really happy with what he has done with the sticking looks really good

Matches the centre console aswell and sort of makes a feature out of something

[chris_uk]

no stereo!

[techieboy]

They look great. But, you need to make your mind up as to whether it's going to be a stripped out racer that gets trailered everywhere, or a pleasant place to be on the road that just happens to be halfway decent on track. Soon.

[The Batman]

I made my mind up gonna get it insured for the road and then have it as a civilised track car aswell Although the aero kit will be fun on the roads a lot of looks I think Yup chris no stereo, where would the speakers go
