The air scoops are now finished off. To ‘tart’ them up I filled the hole and sprayed it black.

Air Scoops
Saturday, December 19th, 2009‘Jump’ Battery
Saturday, December 19th, 2009As promised earlier, I have installed the anderson plug so that it can be used without opening the door. Below is the on board plug/
Doors
Monday, December 14th, 2009The car is now pretty much finished, apart from a good clean and stickers. That said, the fuel reg seems to have gone up the swany as the pressure seems to vary anywhere from 3.5 Bar to 4.2 Bar!!!
Below is a short of the door operation. It was filmed on a camera phone, but you can still see how it all works. You can obviously open the door from inside and the latch can be in the locked position before shutting (to help stop someone trying to help by shutting the door and breaking the latch!)
Air Ducting
Sunday, December 6th, 2009The heat reflective ‘stuff’ has a sticky back to it and I assume is up to the task. After sticking it to the airbox as shown before I trimmed it back to suit the curve of the body. It actually looks a little lopsided, but that is because the airbox is not in the centre of the car as its offset from the centre of the engine. Until I realised this I thought that something was drastically wrong!I then used some ally tape to cover the edges and the raised rear section. This actually came out pretty well, yes I know the top edge will get bent around a bit, but I dont think that really matters! I also stuck a small bit of the heat reflective gaff on the underside of the box close to the exhaust.
Doors Plan Z
Sunday, December 6th, 2009I have forgotten how many times I have tried to do something with the doors! All I know is that now I finally have something that works and I like! They are now on an internal hinge that also slides horizontally!!! It has to slide out otherwise the door fouls the appeture, however once it is slid out by about 3/4 inch, it simply rotates round to open up nice and wide!
