well this is rather embarrassing.. looks like its been nearly a year since we figured out the canbus for the racedash... guess life got in the way for a bit there with kids and what nots.. I have done /some/ work, however most have been the fixups that needed doing from others f***ing s**t up. which takes twice as long.. the new dashboard however is now complete.. well complete enough, so thats about to go into the car.

car is still waiting for its new rubber and lights, ill do that when were ready to hit the track.

aside from that, fine tuning the steering rack limiters and adjusting the suspension.

pics of stuff soon to follow.

holy crap, doing a bit today.. lolol, lets not get too carried away here.. lol

Steering rack limiters.. 43mm long, 40mm diameter.. yeah it's a guess.. I've got enough derilin left to make a bunch more with 27mm bit for holing it out..

My last makeshift set were 39.. They rubbed.. I'll give this a go and if it's too much (If I were a betting man, and I am) I'll chop (uncle chop chop) 1mm off at the time untill it's perfect..

Yep it's all trail and error..

Read that as don't be an idiot and build your own car, s**t takes ages.. Jokes..
