Oi get on MSN when you have 5


Cheers

 

ok mate ive just signed in

 

More wiring 'Bleedin Cold', End or report .

 

You taking any pics Rod?

 

Not thought of that may start to take some, did an hour this morning & got the dash back in, spending rest of new years day with the family.

 

Good to see it still coming along steadily mate

 

Well wiring is complete so now to put it all back together, waiting for a few bits but can finish off dash etc.

 

Excellent news mate, fingers crossed it all goes according to plan.

 

Well that didnt take too long' well done rod ... any pics

 

Hi Rod

Thats good news Rod

When will i see you ??

Russ

 

Will be over next week at some point, I want to spend a couple of days putting mine back together.

 

Just the instrument cluster to fit now, all central gauges fitted etc.

A couple of pictures taken at the start

 

Bet you cant wait to get the engine in and drive it Rod?

 

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 .

 

 

Agree totally !!!!!!

 

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 .

 

Looking good Rod, keep the pics coming mate

 

Started on the Nitrous install today not finished yet & yes I will refit the boot trim & I do have proper clips for the bottle.

 

Do you run with those mirrors on your top speed run, or remove those as well.

 

Mirrors slow you up so take them off.

 

fantastic work as usual!

love the look of the boot with the twin bottles in,

 

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

 

are you from a electrical back ground rod?
wirings as good as mine

 

looking good

its going ot be sooooooooo mental this car. Cant wait for my ride in it

 

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 .

 

Ah thats cool then as knew it was still a road car so thought potentially dangerous as hate to see them buggars going off lol. Yeh think 800ish Bhp will be ok for the shopping trip lol

 

Very nice! Cant wait to see it run finished.

 

You will need both bottles in when i have my passenger ride i want full power

Russ

 

what with rodders driving make sure all your insurances are paid up then !!!!!!!!

 

Rod, long time no see - hope you don't mind but I've updated a thread you started on club gti a few years back with details of this thread - good luck with the top speed attempt.

No probs that post was from 2005 how time flys.

 

Back seats in, Carpet in & all trim/seat belts so looking near completion.
Centre Consule is in but subject to a couple of changes tomorrow to neaten up, then its seats in , I guess 4/5 hours to complete including a major scrub-up to the interior& then ready to go back to Marks for engine

 

At least Rod will drive the car over 100mph and not trying to climb out of the car and polish it!!!! YOU OLD MOANING WANKER
