You made the Raspberry pi Monitor pod yourself?

 

^ I know right , pretty bad *** work.

 

Hi , no I didn't build it myself . I 3D printed the monitor frame and commissioned a fibreglass guy to build me a housing arround it .

 

 

I didn't want to drill into my speaker cover to mount the monitor stand to the dash . So got the speaker cover 3D scanned and printed at work so I can use it as a base for my monitor mount .
3D Scanning the center speaker cover




Raw STL file




Printing the cover




3D printed part on the left . Original on the right .

 

The 3D printed speaker cover fits like a glove . . I pop riveted it on to the monitor mount so the monitor mounts properly without ruining the dashboard .

 

Decided I will go back to pop up headlights again . Just waiting for my Sonar clear glass headlights to arrive . My old lenses are dull and brittle that's why I chucked them . Has anyone used the sonar headlights and can tell me if they provide better lighting than the stock crap lenses ?

 

Anything but projectors that are properly aligned will give you shitty lighting. Those may be brighter but you will blind on coming traffic. I'm sure you have the means, so you can retrofit projectors in there like how Sakebomb did. I did this years ago as well

 

Lights arrived this morning . I did not put HID lights in , went with some quality H4 lamps (Osram Nightbreaker ) . Also aligned my fenders better to the bumper ( not perfect but a lot better than previously) . Hopefully gonna get the carbon fibre headlight covers in 2 weeks and find time to aim the lights properly at a shop with a tester .If I am still not happy I will put projectors in .

 

Redid the hot side piping and relocated the position of the BOV

 

Some more changes in the engine bay . Now I just need to wire up the boost solenoid and clean up my vaccum pipes . After that a propper polish

 

Starting to make a template for a cooling panel from cardboard . After that I can get it made from carbon Fibre . Hope to finish the template over the weekend

 

You going with plain CF or you gonna engrave rotors in there

 

I am going with plain CF . Finished the template last night and gonna bring it to the carbon Fibre shop this afternoon

 

Looking good Markus

 

Dropped the template off yesterday . Changed my mind , gonna make the panel from Carbon Kevlar just to be different .

 

Got my cooling panel . Need to do still some minor trimming on it but very happy how it turned out so far.

 

Moved the diffuser a bit further back today

 

Finally got arround to build a new hinge for the fuel flap .

 

Finally got my Power FC mapped . The power climbs still past 7000 and the map is super smooth . HKS T04E at 0.9 kg/cm2 with very conseravative timing at 1400 meters above sea level and 95 pump fuel . 325 hp and 340 nm on the wheels . Plenty space for more power .

 

So had my photoshoot for the rotary special in the Speed and Sound magazine.
Here is the first official pic . The magazine will be released next week

 

Here a video of the shoot

 

Nice Video. Thanks for sharing

 

Thank you , can't wait till the magazine hits the shelves next week

 

The cover Photo has just been released
