JohnTurbo's B18C EK4 Race Car


This wiring business is pretty time consuming! Have spent 3 evenings on it this week, and not much more to show.

I've wired up all the switches (switched live for simplicity) and done the leads and crimps for the isolator switch.
Basically it earths the alternator when its off in order to drop the voltage, and it also cuts the power to the dizzy. I have wires near the dizzy now connected to the isolator, but need to figure out which wire in the dizzy plug is +12v.

Fitting to the carbon panel is tough because the switch is a lot bigger than the letterbox left by the stereo - so I had to screw the plate up and then bolt the isolator to it from behind. (Reasonable access round the sides).

I've drilled the dash for the pull cable in the scuttle panel, made a small retainer bracket from aluminium and connected it up to the switch. All works great from a swift pull of the T handle.

Bolted the fire extinguiser to the floor - and drilled through a fuel pipe. Very annoying.

Have some crimp clips in the post to repair it. Got he thing bolted in though.

"119" numbers came in 30cm letters, x 3 locations. Have the Tintops and CSCC stickers too.

Decided it needed racing up a bit, so bought a red and blue stripe in 100mm to do this:- (in the post)

Stripes seem to have got lost in the post. Stickers are on though. Also finished plumbing in the fire extinguisher. Will aim to get a couple of snaps of that.

I washed it right after the photos...which is kinda the wrong way round.
 
Nice , cannot wait for a good race with u should be good fun . Which tyres are u going to run.
 
Plastics4Performance Polycarb windows fitted.

I did the fronts - which are actually still on electrics for now. Even the drives with slider winds down fully which is a bit weird really.

Rears and rear screen was fitted by "Rob" of Budget Windscreens in Wigan. He was a realy knowledgable bloke and did a top job.
