Well is getting there all the front done & new underfelt in. Carpet in next & then the centre console & then into the boot, when the first job will be to drop the tank.



Light Brows should start a trend . They will actually have a purpose when finished. .

Light brows look hideous, but function over looks

Why are you dropping the tank and where can i get the gauge holder that you have - the 5 gauge holder?

Love the car Rod, but hate all the graphics - makes it look tacky and spoils the "sleeper" style, but I understand the purpose .

Dropping the tank to calibrate it & also to drill to refit the Nitrous differently. I can supply the Auto Cad drawing for that panel as I can for all fabricated parts on the motor, you then get a file & you make it same as I did .

Mirrors slow you up so take them off.

Don't fancy the stickers on the rear panel Rod. They look a bit messy. I think it will look more racey if they are being put on a different way on the car.

On the other hand, looks aren't very important on this car

Nitrous now installed only have carpets,Seats & few odds & sods to do, taken around 70 hours since Crimbo, glad I aint paying to have it done.

Nitrogen 'push' gauge will see 100bar ( 1500psi) & remote closer when system not in use.

Rod how close is that bottle gauge to the rear panel as thinking it would snap off in a rear end shunt ??? would it not be better to mount the bottle other width ways ???? As in across boot not length of boot like they are as looks pretty close to roll cage bars to so they would stop bottle going anywhere in a rear ender.


Looking good though and cant wait to see the results

Good point but not too worried about that, both bottles are quick release & wont be in there when being used on the road, the 'push' bottle with gauge will rarely be deployed as the system can be used without it if I did decide that I require 1000bhp on the road .
