Well done on the big effort so far. Love the exhausts out the back. Will look good when they are sending some flames out from up there.

Awesome stuff!

I assume the mounting of the exhausts is so you can install a big *** diffuser?

I've cut a lot of the process out but here was the end result and the almost completed cockpit including the transfer of

This is one of the most bad *** cars/builds I've ever seen and I read through build threads on all the forums I'm on.

I really wish I had money.

The throttle pedal went on today (no pics as I started feeling ill)

We put the rear stansions and wing on together with the rear lights... starting to look like a car again !! :thumbsup:

Only prob is we're not happy with the way the rear wing sits so the stansions will have to be re-made with a more aggressive angle.

This weekend the wiring commenced. :thumbsup:


Most of this on the floor is being binned, we just strung it all out incase there are any connectors that are required.

Thanks David, much appreciated. :thumbsup:


This will keep us busy this weekend, the full MoTeC wiring loom and to the right is the MoTeC rotary switch for 10 boost settings.

This is the new lighter and smaller race alternator, would have been MUCH smaller if K-II wasn't going to be
road legal, but this little baby still knocks out 120 amps.

Phase II of the wiring proved to be VERY problematic

The new MoTeC looms don't match up to the older ECU's even though theyre still labeled M600 and M800, thus ALL the pins had to be
taken out of the blocks, tested and re-routed, this took UBBER amounts of time.

Once all the pins were put back in the correct places the loom could then be prepared for installation
