update:

brake discs arrived from america so can get that built up again

got gearbox out today. not bad for someone with one hand

you can see the heat shielf isnt too bad above the gearbox. but ill take it out and rub it down and underseal everything else

only took 6 hours





and got these for track days

wht ya think bronze or the same colour again





or this colour

 

nice i got the same wheels and for the color i say bronze

 

bronze....

or green if you are going to expand on that color scheme

 

cool thread

 

wait i totally forgot that your 8 is blue color so i dont know how green would look...

 

WB looks great with bronze esp. with those wheels.

 

If those are going to be your track wheels. Definitally go for the green

 

is that atc single carbon clutch?? how do you feel after using it? is it more comfortable and softer than the stock?? and mhxore responsive? t

 

nah its the old spec/bhr stage 2+

 

Well today was a pain.

went to remove clutch to find a 5.5 and 6mm llen key didnt fit. 7/32 and 1/4 didnt fit. same again one to big one to small.

now its probably a 5.75 but i didnt have one. so i used a torque head bit. think a 35 or 25 can't remember.

pics: you can see how warn it is



new clutch and pressure plate





my work area:



To make matters wore when i went to put it all on. i found to bolts wouldn't catch and 2 holes threads had gone on my new flywheel. WHAT.

took flywheel off. realised it must be lined up wrong. lined it up and and marked 3 slots. went to put it on. still won't work. then realised its aligned wrong again. what are the chances. same mistake twice.

anyway heat shielding painted though needs rubbed down.



ready for underseal tomorrow



new bits arrived

 

Wow... Looking good.. Hope the bike accident doesn't slow you down to much!

 

subscribing. nice.

 

i think it will

New cast. gonna be on til jan then maybe surgery. great.



new brake discs arrived.

 

Threads with pics are the best kinds.....

Nice work dude. Can't wait to see the final outcome.

 

once again, looks awesome. i hope your hand doesnt bother you too much good luck on the rest of the project. ill keep an eye out!

 

thanks guys

well brakes built up again.



next custom gauge pod

buy cheap gauge pod. mark it up how you want.


cut off sides



cut


start fibreglassing. dont forget to rub down.

 

wow! you're getting a lot done! I also vote for the bronze wheels

 

been working on the guage pod recently







i got time to do a lil work on it today.

So i got it rubbed down, 60 grit, 120 grit, 320 wet and dry, then 600 grit. dont go any higher as you need the 2k or hi build primer to stick. once this is applied you can rub it down with 800, then 1200, then 1500.

so i got my plastic filler primer on.

just one coat so i can see where needs more filler

 

very cool... i'd like to see how the paint matches the interior.

you're painting it black, right?

 

Good work! Keep it up!
