Nice photo! Sounds like you had a good day! 

 

How much was the tuition? It's something I think is very worth while getting!

Is that Castle Coombe?

Depends on the company running the day but BHP who were at the track were charging £20 for 10 minutes and £30 for 20 minutes from memory. The guy we hired the car from gave us free coaching since we hired the car from him. The cost of the full day use if the track also varies but for 3 of us it was about £230

That's decent for a full day with the car! Worth while!

Yes you are local! Like really local to me and a few others! We need to meet up!!

Yes we should, but my build is still a way off :(

 

I have just finished reading this entire thread and hats off to you sir. What an epic build. I can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks, taking my time and trying to do it properly

Okay, bit of a day on the wiring!

 

First of all, I want a seperate harness for the ECU with a plug back into the cars other functions (rev counter, warning lights etc.) so I've split the loom and functions.  I tried to have everything plugged in while doing this!

ECU now stand alone!

Chassis looks naked without it :(

Also took time to re-connect the steering column and seat to see where everything ends up compared to the track car I drove last Monday.  First thing I noticed was I need a foot rest.  At least that's easy to do.  Excuse the hairy legs, making the most of the sunshine!

Also need to mount the bias control.  With the inside of the door gone I could mount this on the other side of the cage

Steering wheel is a bit too far away so will need to move it 4.5" towards me.  Snap off kit and a small spacer will sort it!

Back to the loom - need to splice the ECU back into the harness via a plug:
