I'm not going to beat around the bush ! It's finally alive !After what seems like an endless list of little issues I needed to get solved before we could start this engine, Chris from Prestige Tuning and Motorsport came and spent quite a lot of time with us going through wiring, sensors, testing injectors and ignition etc and doing...
So hopefully by looking at the pictures it will become obvious very quickly that this isn't our final airbox design. This airbox is for one reason and one reason only and that is to allow us to be able to start, run and give a basic tune to the FZ12's beating V12 heart.Lets call the design functional shall we, because it...
When I wrote my last update I was about to drop Rusty off at The Toy Shop Wellington, and a couple of days later I was able to get the car there after 6pm when traffic was less busy. The journey was uneventful, which is good as the brakes were pretty poor.I did make a new friend at the petrol station.First on the list...
We've already covered quite a bit on the fuel system for this car and this episode should cover the last part. We've already covered the main tank, the surge tank, soft lines, flex fuel sensors, fuel rail and injectors and this episode is going to cover the hard lines that I decided to run from the back to the front.I am yet to...
We're getting closer and closer to being able to start our mighty 6.0L V12 and something we know isn't going to cut it in factory trim are the injectors. As with most OEM applications the injectors are designed to be pretty close to their maximum duty cycle. I don't know if OEM's do this to make sure people can't do too much to...
Well, in what seems like an endless process, today we're going to continue looking at the main wiring looms for our FZ12 project.I have to admit, this part of the project really surprised me about just how long it would take and how much was involved. I guess in the past my car projects have either been production car...
Welcome back !I am proud of everything on this car, it's a massive project with a steep learning curve, but this episode is about one of the top 3 things I'm the most proud of on this build.One thing I wanted this car to be is usable and there's nothing worse than a loud exhaust system that sounds great outside and even sounds...
It has been a frustrating few weeks, with it not feeling like I've made any real progress on the car. But I have got a few things done and solved a couple of issues.Rusty has failed another two WoF inspections, one of which I'm not happy about. But back to the start of the story - Rusty decided halfway through being detailed that it...
No, I haven't decided to put airbags in the FZ12 !What I have done is put a variable ride height system into the car though. I wanted to be able to have the car ride at its normal ride height, but also be able to lift when needed to clear speed bumps, and lastly to be able to lower itself also into race mode.As with a lot of...
