Well done , so did I after 16 years of dreaming of rolling up at the gates great feeling isn't it

I didn't arrive untill 5pm on Sunday due to BBQ commitments on Saturday spoiling my hood / bootcover fitting schedule . most people had gone home by then and I spent the coldest night of my life in a Tesco value tent (with vital bits missing) listening to loud music and shivering .

Had a great time nontheless but missed your car hope to catch it some other time

any recent photos of the completely finished car? I've followed your build and it would be great to see some photos of the finished article plated up from different angles if you've got any.

Cheers

I'm working on a PIC based circuit to generate an adjustable ignition kill when I shift up using the kliktronic, to allow for full throttle up shifts.

Also I've programmed in a semi automatic option to allow it to shift up itself. It'll fire the kliktronic and cut the ignition at a set rpm sensed from the tacho

Watch this space!

I should really fix the massive oil consumption first, but oh well!

Well when I was young..... in my bike racing days we just used brake light switches connected to the gearshift lever - when you changed up the brake light switch killed the ignition for that moment, worked a treat for about 5 bucks and a bit of time.

It really needs to be adjustable to prolong the gearbox life and make for a smooth change... Total hardware cost is £9 so far...

Cloudy, I cannot improve on your chassis design. You hit the nail on the head.

It is very good in beam and torsion.

Hi Dave

looks like some nice work you are doing, but you might get more (warmer?) response if you post up in a thread of your own?

Cheers

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

Finished my shift controller, currently giving me adjustable ignition cut for flat shifting, and I've also designed in a tacho/shift light input and upshift output for auto upshifting which I'll wire in later

Fred you make a good point.

It is a great chassis in both looks and strength. Awesome and inspiring.
