[volvo242]

got my stuff from Summit today!



AN couplings and hoses for the drysump and fuel

also this





also the NOS bottle got the hot red color (powderpaint)





damn i like that color...

we also made a trottle pedal today! didnt figure out a good way to make a pedal so we ended up copying the clutch pedal from the tilton pedalbox



going to fix it up and paint it matte black tomorrow

[volvo242]

more pics!

made more parts for the trottle pedal



Stock vs Nascar brakes ;P





Made the brackets, and re-drilled to correct bolt pattern etc





Started making AN hoses










35 cm of cooling, hope its enough ;P







with a flex-a-lite Fan that blows quite a lot!!



Thats all for today!

[volvo242]

Finished for the day! 12 hours of work

done lots of stuff. but as ususal, i work and forget to take pics...

Custom coil cover in carbon, with carbon rods over the coils to push them down. in other words, that cover is STIFF ;P



Painted the Intercooler, dont want that shiny thing behinde the grill ;P
Also made a carbon cover to give it a better look, and to stopp the fan from drawing air around the intercooler.


Dash, and wiring is staring to come together

[volvo242]

power to the people ;P
fuelpumps, lights, fans, waterpump etc is alive





Also most of the hoses for the dry sump is finished, just 1 left to do (didnt have the fitting) so now the turbo and manifold is going in, and aint coming back out again

[RattyCabby]

Box fenders AND flares!!! :beer:

[volvo242]

brake late switch




made a thingy to connect all the gauges etc to, dont want to solder everything together.. and this also makes it easy to add / alter / remove stuff later!





3 driving lights on each side ofcourse looks better

[volvo242]

testing the dynamo! it works ;P
140 amp from a v70r



also made a belt tensioner, and painted stuff black




had to modify the intake again.. the springs that shuts the throttle "plates" is to weak. they are made for a bike so i had to add a extra spring to give the pedal some feel ;P



most of the electric is finished so i printed some labels





switch for the Flatshift controll is in, wired to the ecu and gives a short engine cut when i change up!



hoping to get the rest of the parts painted soon

[MattHatCat]

Looking great

[volvo242]

"cam" sensor in place! had a friend make the bracket to hold it in place, and also sealing it (o-rings)



tierd of waiting for the dude thats supose to paint the last parts on the car.. so today i started myself ;P
