Its been a while since i updated this thread:no:

This is where i started to get excited, at last things were starting to be powered up and tested. Yep it took a while to make the switch panels

We Have life. Dash all working along with everything else, only thing missing at the moment are the reverse lights which are not coming on when reverse selected. Prob something silly but well happy

Starting to fitting the mk2 bodywork

http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...4624C903B3.jpg

So thats where we are at the moment, still waiting for the rear brakes but not that fussed as its not going on the road this year but defo going to be ready for spring next year. If i can i may even get it mot'd and some miles on the motor before then.
I had planned to pay someone to build the engine loom but i've now decided to tackle it myself, i mean how hard can it be :trampoline:

waiting for the new connectors to arrive and i have already stripped the BAM loom of all thats not needed so with a bit of luck it may even get fired up during xmas providing i can also get the fuel filler neck routed to the outside.

cheers

P.

Coming on nicely that .going to be one track monster when it's finished.

Paul the level of detail is stunning! I just wish I had a garage my zed would fit. I have to do my work on the driveway. Cannot wait to see and hear this. Superb!

Jeez thats some job.

I want to buy it back

Looking good there Paul - not long now until it is properly alive and you can do some shakedown running in :)

Do like that dash

Yep that was one of my best finds. Full of goodies once I get my head round the software [emoji15][emoji15]

I bet ive been looking at the Race Technology Pro 2

Update
 

Been a little while but thought i'd post a little update, now i have some time to myself this Bank Holiday.

A few little set backs but only to be expected. I had to strip down the dashboard again after discovering a couple of problems with the K6 and the AIM Dash, both had to be shipped off for updates / repairs.

Both arrived back after a couple of weeks with the added benefit of the K6 being upgraded to the new 6+ Spec.

Added A Nice Logo To AIM Startup

Front Doors and Bonnet Have Been Dropped With Lee Costello To Replicate In FBglass or Carbon if Budget Allows

Keep You Posted How It Goes.

Cheers

OMG

You have owned this car for 5 years this year?

amazing job

Amazing work.

:bow::bow::bow:

Well it’s been a while and I know the majority will have seen the progress on face ache but seems a shame not to bring the thread to an end without seeing the results.

So here goes.

I got all the kit fitted and the fibreglass bonnet but one of the doors was not right so it’s gone back to Lee to be altered, unfortunately lee’s Heath took a turn for the worse so the doors have not been fitted yet.

Shipped the bonnet and dc2 spoiler for painting but turns out mine is xpg+y so they came out the wrong shade.

Anyway the bonnet got fitted, I’d had enough of waiting :-)

Reyland Zs Rebuild / Update
 

You may notice the added air exit duct and the centre grill.
On startup there was a lot more heat than I expected and it almost melted the bonnet.

Grill was added to allow heat out and the manifold / downpipe were removed and shipped to Zircotec for ceramic coating .

I was never happy with the play in the turbo so I shipped it back to the people who made the original units for backdraft.
Universal turbos confirmed the cartridge was toast so a rebuild was ordered along with an upgrade to a bigger rs6 impeller [emoji23]

All back together with additional heat shielding from the manifold.

Wow

such a lot of work gone into the car, with so much detail.

Well done.

Thanks for posting up. Always good to see the new stuff going in.

:):):)

Thx peter,
it gets better , I’ll add more ASAP [emoji16]

Looks like a great car. I'm assuming track only....?

I absolutely love this thing, you will have to let us know when you're doing a track day and get a few of us out.

Nope its now fully road legal, well just about :bounce:

It's getting there - been keeping my eye on the updates on faceache :)

Remember going over to Castle Coombe years ago to see this car in action. Awesome fair play.
