Also now run a aeroflow vacuum pump kit for the brake booster which I highly recommend for any one struggling with brake vacuum it’s not to loud but keeps great pedal feel even after multiple hard braking at a motorkhana day

Used rustoleum primer first before laying down the coating unless the concrete is perfectly flat you end up using bit over double what rustoleum say the product will cover

Bit more of a close up personally a big fan of decorative chips hides a lot of stuff

Nice, hopefully those decorative chips don’t hide bolts when you drop them on the ground

Run 16mm2 wires to the shed from the box.
It may sound like overkill, but it wont be a whole lot more expensive than the 6mm2 that most would be okay with.
It ensures the voltage drop isnt much, and you will be able to do a lot without it tripping the breaker at the board.
LED strip lights, which are the new fluoro replacement are about 70 to 80 bucks each froma wholesaler.
You can change their brightness and white intensity as well if you choose to.
Apart from that, lots of power points and a dedicated circuit for a welder.
Cheers
Rob

Yep agree do as Rob said, did my shed that way, do it right once and you’ll never look back. Sub board in the shed with lots of double outlets and a dedicated 15A outlet with a slow trip breaker on it for air compressor or welder.

Yep that’s pretty much what my sparky mate has planned aswell as overhauling the house power and switchboard

New dash arrived the other day from
Mako Motorsport to suit the data logger bit dissapointed they wouldn’t include the fan outlet or the ash tray but tbh I’ve never used either anyway should make the motec dash sit nice and neat instead of the cable ties that are currently holding it in place

Sorry, are you going to cut a hole so the barrel vent is still present on the RHS on the dash?

Undecided on that yet if I can make it neat I will but otherwise not planning too I can’t say I’ve ever really used the fan in the car but I do prefer it visually to be thereSorry, are you going to cut a hole so the barrel vent is still present on the RHS on the dash?

If you aren't using it, you should start driving your car more. Getting rid of ventilation has no benefit, and it certainly is a compromise... Visually and functionally.

Was awesome to get out cruising last night mate - your beast sounds unreal. What's the details on the exhaust system?

Extractors are custom 1 7/8 stainless 4 into 1s with merge collectors then it’s 3 inch all the way through with hooker aero chambers on it believe it or not it’s quieter now with the tail pipes initially had it dumped at the diff was a bit much

While off the road this time have finally gotten into upgrading the brakes to something a bit more modern
After hunting around and trying to be budget conscious I’ve gone for some au calipers with bf falcon discs using adaptor kit from planet parts
Bought a jig to drill from ford to hq pattern
Still waiting on last bits to put the trans back in
Have a motorkhana booked in for April will be keen to put the set up to the test
