September 2012 - Day 66 Shed is done, Car is almost as well

Good news on the build, Winter has finished and its starting to warm up here in Queensland, it gets you motivated to get out and get things done. The other good news is that the shed is finished, all the shelving and benches are in and the painting done, I now have somewhere to work that is clean and warm with good lighting.

So the car, well I have a CAMS log book for the car now everything was approved based on 2011 roll cage regs, quick turn around I had the paperwork in on Friday and the Log book the following week. The car itself is at NA Autosports and Engineering, I've got Nick and the team doing a few extra bits to the car, mainly items that I was not to sure how to do or didn't have the tools to do, I thought it best using their past Prodrive experience to get things done right the first time.

Since the last update they have installed the Hydraulic Handbrake, it will have about 50-80mm of travel at the top


Installed the bash plate


Made and installed a new stainless 3" Turbo back no cat exhaust.

Run the oil temp and pressure gauges from the engine block

 












Installed some under guard impact protection


Made and installed the air intake pipe and box


Installed Hydraulic power steering lines


Installed the fuel system


Installed the Oil Cooler


The car now is almost ready to start, with the engine, gearbox, brakes, fuel, oil and air systems done there wasn't that much left for me to do mechanically, so I've left the car at NA Autosprts and Engineering to complete the install the MoTeC and wired up the DCCD, get the car started and on the dyno

I've still got a number of things to do to get the car finished, I've started the door card's, fitting the electric window controllers, nav light, wiring for the front lights, tool storage, safety gear storage and cleaning and painting some of the parts that need to go back on the car.
