Sounds good, sounds like you have alot of work to do this week then.
Hows it going? x

liam_b · 25th March 2009, 01:15

yeah lots of work steph ive got the some of the install out to run the last of the wiring, while i had it out i measured it up to see if i could fit another big yellow in, they fit but a very tight squeeze.
Im going to have to get my car on a weighing bridge soon to see if my car is over its gross weight as the install it weighing quite abit now.

I think your prob already over the gross weight to be honest! Im surprised the car still moves.
Could upgrade the engine to a VTR to make it a bit more driveable and get the suspension from a VTR and poss better braking?
Does it stop very well? I was thinking about this the other day but with alot of weight and standard brakes your stopping distances should be majorly increased due to more forward momentum?

3 fork lift batteries, you nutter! Fair effort once again though!

paint the inside of the box with pva glue to seal the mdf

Liam-westcoast · 2nd April 2009, 20:38

thats amazing mate well done

StephanieLouise · 2nd April 2009, 22:06

Looking good, not much work left to do now right?
When u going to have the leds done for?

Lippy · 2nd April 2009, 23:40

looks much tidier in the back there now! good effort! enjoying wiring resistors yet? I did tell you it would be a pain in the arse! even more of a pain when 1 led goes and you have to pull the lot out just to replace 1 led! that drives me nuts!
