Anyone nearby that can/ wants to wire up this beast? The whole car needs wiring along with the engine/ecu- link g4

Also keen to use something like the race pak smart wire or something.

Every one feel free to input ideas if you know good ones.

Want to use a race dash and have capability for logging stuff in future with additional sensors

Nice hose clamps I have a load in my shed I used them and found that they didn't grip as well as I thought and changed back to the cheap ones . maybe keep an eye on them . Cant wait to see some paint on it 

 

Looking sweet . Love your work - it is inspiring and makes me wish I could fabricate something as impressive as this.

 

PS - this top radiator hose looks to be under a fair whack of tension. Perhaps something to look at?

Thanks for the heads up on the hose clamps. Will keep an eye peeled.

Undecided on paint colour ay. Leaning towards the standard escort colour Olympic blue. Will see what happens. Might just end up going white then getting something designed up and wrapping it.

so if the wheel is on full droop does that mean the rack ends will hit the sway bar ,wouldnt it be better to go over the top of the rack and extend the rose joint ends with a longer rod

Na nothing hits in all droop/ compression/ steering lock situations. Going over the top will require a new bar to be made up. Will do it eventually but this will do for now.
