Your Building a "Champion"

Sicknote

Thanks fella, my aim is to be one of the fastest track FD's in the world and STILL be road legal, a few compromises in the build
to achieve that but not too many !!

Sicknote

The external Fire Extinguisher and Kill switches are now installed and ready to be wired in.

And just finished the drivers and passengers floors and sat them in place, looks quite neat if I do say so myself.

Wow. That is going to be a beast of a street car... And not remotely enjoyable in traffic.

nice build

Sicknote

Thanks guys, believe it or not the sequential box isn't too bad for the road even with the OS Giken triple plate clutch, but
the only issue might be the heat... gunna be a sauna in there in traffic !!! lol

Wow, I wish you were doing this a couple years ago when I was in England, I'd have offered some free help just for a ride.

I have to say, yours is shaping up to be my favorite 20B FD, not including mine, of course
Keep up the good work!

Maybe by the time you get it done I will find another job in the UK and I can come see it...

Sicknote

Thank you my good man, I hope she lives up to all our expectations, and if you come back to the uk you're more than welcome to have a pax ride, I'm
always happy to have new cup-holders on board !!

Sicknote

We're still here but I've got my laptop with me at the garage so here are a few more pics as we go.


The New race seat is installed. :thumbsup:





I'm sure things should be tidier than this !!!





Nice neat work behind the drivers dash panel





Just installed the MoTeC dash control buttons (red & green) into the control panel, and a few more connections
have now been made to the electrical panel. getting there :thumbsup:

Sicknote

Only one pic took tonight.... sorry slacking.

The entire exhaust has now been welded, just one small bracket to fabricate and then thats another job done

The passenger floor is now in place and we've started dismantling the whole car ready for the rolling shell to go to paint either
on Sunday or Monday.

ONLY ONE PIC!

One pic is enough to bring back the love I have for your vehicle.

Sicknote

PMSL, thanks Ryan, I'll try and take a few more tonight as we've lots to do.

Sicknote

We all got on with our jobs today, Balky with welding tasks, Ejo with grinding tasks and me with the coil pack tray.

















This is the only shot I took of the coil pack shelf, I've done a lot to it and will take further pics tomorrow.

Sicknote

The aim of tonight was to finish the coil pack tray, finish the exhaust system and then start prepping the car for it's
move to the paint shop.

Here is the finished coil pack shelf.








And in situe.





Exhaust is now complete and ready for painting and ceramic coating





One 20B and sequential gearbox removed :thumbsup:





Engine now on the stand ready for the brackets to be made for the power steering,Alternator and water pump.

2nd that.

Sicknote

Right, sorry for the lack of pics, to be honest not much has happened as I seem to have lost all motivation but
we loaded K-II into the caravan and took her to her new home for the next 2-3 weeks, just went down there to
drop the rear lights only to find they've already started work on her. starting to feel a bit more with it again.


This is a very novel place to install the inside door handle !! lol





And here are a few of her as they're getting the shutlines and surfaces prepared.

Yay, body work. Any specific date you guys plan on having this finished?

Sicknote

Lol, she should be at the body shop for 2 weeks Ryan, I'm taking the exhaust for ceramic coating on Monday and I've sent a few engine bay
bits away for polishing, it's starting to get to the exciting stage now.
