Just ordered a few stickers.
Some red sparco stickers at 100mm for the side. And some 200mm classic red white balck ferodo ones for the rear bumper trim

Thanks mate. It's on its way to completion. it'll never be finished, a car never is until you sell it or crash it lol.

Had dan my sisters bf round today who details his vxr every five minutes and uses our drive.
I thought i'd borrow his snow foam and products for a quick clean. Came out pretty good for a quick wash.

And got a few stickers out. My FIA one for the cage

And a nice place for the vertical sparco sticker
It is straight btw. Bit of an optical illusion. I thought that at first. Check it against the tunnel edge.

And then a bit of trim shine and jobs a good'n. One of my fav pics btw.

Oh and i thought i'd add.
This car isn't planning to be convenient in any way.
There is a rather large difference between road bucket seats and race bucket seats. On road bucket seats (monaco's and the like) you slide onto them.
With race bucket seats you slide over them and then into them. This is also the case getting out. Using the handy roll bar to pull yourself out of them and then getting out of the car lol.
As shown by the picture below.

Thanks, It is a particularly shiny angle. Still waiting for seat and harnesses to arrive back from tweeks though before any real progress can be made.

looking gd m8 keep up the gd work

I just put my e decal onto my dash. Should be looking pretty swish once all the toggles are done and all labelled up.

raunchz · 3rd May 2010, 18:50

you getting a toggle switch for the fuel pump and radiator fan ?

adamskiTNR · 3rd May 2010, 18:53

I'm doing switches for fan, hazard and rear screen. That's all i have so far on the list.
I don't need a pump switch as the only reason cars have them(race cars) is for reserve pumps or high flow secondary pumps. I discovered recently after asking around.
The list still isn't finalised. i can't think of any others i need, as ignition is all done by the 3 terminal kill switch.

adamskiTNR · 3rd May 2010, 18:55

I signed up on shed today. Is that place dead or is it just coincidence? Only the admin's seemed to be online

+1 - although it might be worth putting one in, just incase you go for a swirl pot setup in the future when you get sticky tyres on track?

Just save you having to shoehorn the switch in later on ?

Can you reach the switches when you are harnessed in? Could be a bummer having to loosen/release the harness to switch one of them, like hazards/fan?

adamskiTNR · 3rd May 2010, 19:05

No problems with the distances. If i couldn't reach the switches then i definitely wouldn't be able to reach the pedals lol. All is good. I was worried i was gonna have to get wheel spacers and stuff to get it all right but it all went better than hoped.

Although i was looking for an excuse to get a nice anodised red spacer
