BenB - 4/2/08 at 05:58 PM

wot no photos


Paul (Notts) - 4/2/08 at 05:59 PM

If this is the pre sva pics in your photo archive then

1. may need to cover the positive terminal on battery - not sure

2. looks like a sharp edge around exhaust can

3. gear nob looks strange - ( poor pic ) does it have a flat top with a blunt edge ?


My SVA is in 6 days and I am still not as ready as yours

Good luck.

Paul

I think you have no problem with the indicator extensions and exhaust

tom windmill - 4/2/08 at 06:06 PM

Team Hellfire!!
DON'T WORRY!!!
i am sure we will persuade him to fit a zx10/12 for next year....
they always come good in the end


Humbug - 4/2/08 at 06:09 PM

Possibly:

Covering on thread from top ball joint looks a bit "temporary"

Exhaust clamps - sharp edges

Edges of Isotta badge?

Fog lamp looks a bit like it's leaning back rather than vertical from the angle of the pic

Reflectors might need to be a bit higher, especially when the car's got fuel and you in it. I got the same reflectors from Mac#1, which they assured me had got through SVA but I chickened out and got some bigger ones for the test itself.

Pipe on top of the engine - copper right angle going into rubber hose - looks like it has got no clamp on it. How is it held on?

Looks like a nice build, btw... I'm intrigued by the Zetec engine + bike clocks combo!

Good luck

Lovely car


PAUL FISHER - 4/2/08 at 06:37 PM

Looks up to your usual high standards Tim,but you should be getting good at building them,now you have built that many,nice to see the bike clocks fitted,that will save you a bit of time when you do the bike engine conversion in March

Nice one tom, just how the SVA man likes it "neat and tidy"

Good luck with the test


tim windmill - 4/2/08 at 07:03 PM

thanks for the comments guys, please keep them coming they are all helpful. i am now PARANOID


ditchlewis - 4/2/08 at 07:14 PM

the headlamp bar needs some padding around the area where the bar meets the tube as his was a fail for me.

very nice, just to let you know i had a filter on top breather as well and after about 400 miles the engine bay was covered in oil mist, lot better to fit catch tank with filter on it. Just a warning as it is a bas---d to clean off Rescued attachment 0004.jpg

That looks very nice Tim and Tom, but that exhaust manifold looks like it's been well run in, have you had any sneaky jaunts down the lane.


neilj37 - 5/2/08 at 01:10 PM

Couldn't tell from the pics but does there need to be a radius on the cut-out for the exhaust or some protection.

Also does the centre mirror need something on the base or is the radius okay.


jacko - 5/2/08 at 05:29 PM

Tim don't forget the clips on the fuel pipe [ rail ] Do i have to start making another bike engine cradle what engine ?

The photos don't do it Justis you have made a very very nice job you should after 3 indys
good look with the SVA

This is a stunning car !! I have seen it in the flesh and the colour combo is amazing. Stop trying to persuade Tim to go BEC !! He will be really busy in March and April sussing out and ( Hopefully) helping someone elses zx10r installation !!

I wonder who that might be ??

The trade plates are going for a spin tomorrow !!!!


RichieW - 6/2/08 at 08:43 PM

The white bodywork looks really good. I had never considered that colour on a seven before.


RobH - 6/2/08 at 09:06 PM

Nice looking car.

Put some edging around headlamp mounting (plate with the hole in) and put some covers/edging around the top seat belt mounting plate. My car was pulled up on both those areas.

Is your steering trying to self centre? If not put 3 Deg. toe out (1.5 Deg. each wheel) about 3 turns on each rod end from parallel and put 30 PSI in the front tyres, this did the trick on mine.

Good luck

Rob
