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...
One of the things that I did when planning this build was to try to look at each area of the car and see what we could do differently to what others have done and also try to make things with current technology to make sure the car would have all of the bells and whistles expected of a modern car.Whilst searching around for a...
I can't count how many hours I spent looking for a pre-made fuel tank that would be a good starting point for our tank. I knew I wouldn't find anything perfect, but I was hopeful that I could buy something already made quite cheap and then modify it to suit. The reason it was hard to find something even close is that usually you...
