air bleed, temp sender for original gauge and just got to drill a hole for the water temp sensor for the ignition
.
and mocking up a trigger wheel for the ignition. barely any room so I machined the pulley for the 36-1 wheel to go behind the pully then the next problem was where to put the crank sensor. bit of jiggery pokery and it should work.


which is made easier when you have one of these in the garage

bit tight, going to have to cut the oil filter out



engine may have to come out again if the engine mounts move at all for some more clearance modifications but otherwise it's going well.

Nicely done!

Coming along very nicely, lots of hard work and thought has gone into your project!

Cut the oil filter out ?

Relocation kit would solve your problem, no?

funkmaster

Been watching your build from day 1. Awesome that youre sticking with it, even if progress has been slow.
Looks great and coming along nicely!!!

I can only imagine the noise of that car once you get it on the open road with a full 9k rev run.... it sounds great on the dyno!

If you don't mind posting your numbers and if you are using an aftermarket management system, that would be great.

What an amazing build, and such a beautiful car. Great work!

The rear brakes were proving to be a bit of a hurdle. I wasn't happy with my original plan of the Cortina P100 drum brakes. (came with the axle bits I acquired) New drums are proving impossible to find and are really heavy anyway. so a rethink and hours of internet searching and I have a plan.



Mk 2 MX5 calipers are easily available and only £75 new. the discs are Honda Civic circa 2002 and again cheap and easily available.

Bit of machining to the disc.and it'll fit. The calipers are quite small and it all fits under the standard wheels. result.

I know it's a lot of work just to be able to fit the standard wheels and will probably spend little time with the standard wheels on anyway.






it's very tight but will work. Just need to make the brackets to weld to the axle.


loads of clearance with the 13 inch alloys.



. I made the axle 20mm shorter than the S800 unit so wider wheels will fit without sticking out and will space the wheels as necessary. With the beefier wheel studs it wont be an issue.

Wow, this project is still going strong! Thank you for the update!!!

still needs full tune. Ignore the noises the camera exaggerates and it's the bonnet rattling.
