Agreed, they are seriously expensive.
What you can do with them when integrated with an ECU and dash is mind boggling though.
I wish they would release a 'budget' version sub $1000 to let us street guys have some fun with them.

 

What brand is that relay/fuse box?

 

Bussmann.

 

Any chance you can find the part number on it? I'm having trouble finding that one in the catalogs.

 

Didn't see any part numbers on there, but this looks like it... Series 15400 RFRM Rear-fed Fuse & Relay Module

 

UPDATE:

Today, my friend and I finally had some time to put this build in gear...









Pulled the long *** umbilical cord out... wiring behind the dash, fuse panel, relay boxes and whole front body harness weigh 39lbs!


Finally we fit the dash in... notched the dash on both sides and slid right in like butter.




Gauge cluster barely hit...nothing the Dremel can't handle.


Custom switch panel will get fitted next...


Custom laser etched rocker covers...



.

 

lov that switch panel

 

Great build, I love the wheels and the custom rocker covers.

 

That switch panel is pure p0rn! Where did you get those custom made switches?

 

Thanks guys... As mentioned before the switches and rocker covers are all provided and made by Jim over at OTRATTW Awesome customer service too.

 

Those buttons are fukcing awesome.

 

this thread is full of so much win

 

nice build. I'm definitely following this thread. laser etched rocker button .. love the symbols

 

lmao. the start engine icon is my favorite! do they light up when they're on?

 

Thanks guys. He originally had a piston in there... of course I had him design something for a rotary. He can't go too detailed but I think it's fine. And yes they light up through the etched part. I haven't hooked it up yet but from what I understand top and bottom light up separately.

Another cool feature I had done is 3 way switches for wipers and headlights...Off/ON/ON. That way I can have 2 speed for wipers and two different settings for the headlights...parking lights center position and parking/low beam for top position. No high beam for track.

You guys should check out his facebook page... they fool around with some funny *** design. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Otrat...32347186828281

 

Any updates when do you plan on having this thing on the track?

 

what wheels are those? and what specs if you dont mind saying? thanks

just beautiful build man, hopefully one day I can do a build half as cool as this!

 

Holy crapola Mike, the build looks very sexy. That interior looks so good! Can't wait until it's finished.

 

Should be another few months before I hit the track... Chris Ludwig just finished and shipped out all the electronics and custom engine harness so I will start posting up some updates in the following weeks.

Enkei RC-T4 18X9.5 +30?... 285/30/18 all around. I think wheels are about 18lbs each.

Thanks man! I can't wait either.

any new updates? such a great build

 

What a build! Very nice work!

 

Awesome build loving the effort and parts being put in full track cars arent my thing but after seeing the crash i dont blame you! Keep er goin

 

Small Update:

Haltech boxes mounted but had to send out the harness back to Chris for some modifications...once I get that back I can start mounting everything and run the wiring.


Always wanted to shave off that damn air pump bracket...looks better now. Any suggestions on new powdercoat colors??



Idler pulley delete since no more A/C or power steering pump...I'll retain the bracket for alternator bracket, coil mounting and catch can mounting later...


I've started prepping the block by tapping and plugging unused coolant ports and shaving off anything unnecessary.

Heater hose nipple delete... tap and plug 1/2" NPT.



Rear iron TB coolant port delete...tap and plug 1/8" NPT.

 

Been following this for a while, really cant wait to see it all come together. Looks great

 

epic buildthread...quality of workmanship and parts is nuts....im jelly
