You know. It!

I have the CF on order so I went ahead and utilized my masters I have in CAD design this weekend. This way I can get my layout figured out prior to doing the cutting on the CF sheet. I found some different switches for the lights that will simplify the layout. In removing all the breakers this is going to make the right side empty. This will be a good place to mount the holder for the Garmin Catalyst. Tried to take the picture from where my eyes will be.

I did some measurements below the dash and where I have my seat I think it will be too low for me. Will do some more measuring after the seat is redone and prior to cutting a hold in a $800 piece of CF. Also thinking with it below it may not work with the placement needed for the ADU. This project will be measure a dozen times or more and cut once.

No ECU upgrade plan at this time. When/if I do will probably go with the EMU Black. I really like the MoTec I have in my Evora but probably will not go that route for this car.

Starting off the new year with the dash project. I was able to disable the key anti theft so I got rid of the key it had installed just for that. With that going to redo the electrical and install a key fob, push button start and stop. Get rid of all the mechanical gauges and go with a ADU5 display. Change out the dash to a CF sheet.

The trunk area was just a tank, bare aluminum and the fuel pump/filter. I moved the pump and filter back to underneath and finished out the trunk with some black interior carpet.

I agree!

Planned right now is, finish welding up exhaust. After that installing a Digital Guard Dawg PBS1 for keyless and pushbutton start. looking int a CF dash and replacing the instrumentation with a ECUMaster ADU5.

Exhaust is a Holly flow master cat into a Holly flow monster muffler, basically glass pack. No tracks around here have noise limits.

The previous owner did put a heat vent over the exhaust. I am sure this was great for getting heat out of the engine bay but it did dump heat out of the right side that swirled into the passenger compartment. I removed the vent and did a fiberglass repair and paint touch up for now. My plan is to respray the entire car so this will have to do for now.

While I had the exhaust mocked up had to try it out even though it was taped together at the collector. Apologize for the feet in the video.

Also gettin closer on the exhaust replacement. Have the major part welded up. Have remove the collector and cut to fit the cat. Mocked the system up to verify fitment and alignment.

Next project is I purchased a set of pulleys from Non Stop Tuning. Also put a gator back belt on.

Ok back on topic. The new spring rates work great with the new shocks. Nice to have the double adjustable to fine tune everything. I have gotten the wheels powder coated and purchased some Lotus raised decals for the center caps. If you are needing some good raised logos I have had good luck with beststickers.net.

When I purchased my WCM all the documentation that came with it had the Factory VHS tape. I could not find it anywhere so curiosity got the best of me and I had it converted, since I did not have a VHS player anymore. As expected it is a cheesy factory tape.
