Well, the ‘build’ phase is finally over! Of course I am surethere will be many updates and tweaks to come, but the first build is complete. A minor milestone also completed, the car has moved both forwards and reverse under its own power!

Air Blower
Saturday, December 19th, 2009I am a little concerned about heat soak when the car comes into the pits. To counter this I ‘won’ on ebay a leaf blower. This pokes down towards the water radiator to help keep it all cool, well thats the idea!
Electronics Cover
Saturday, December 19th, 2009When sorting the passenger door hing I had to move the ECU. I then had a bit of a think, and noticed that any water getting in would drip all over it! This is obviously not the most intelligent thing, so knocked up a small cover.

Saturday, December 19th, 2009I know the previous video of the doors, was probably the most dull video anyone has ever seen, but I thought I would bombard you with a little more about them! Below is a pic of the technical catch itself.
New Fuel Pressure Reg

All seems OK now, so fingers crosses.
