Default LTx slow Progress

Well I finally finished all but a few small projects tonight. Wiring wiring wiring! For the first time in overf a year the consoul went back in. On the suface the may seem like a small feet but in the over all view it was huge in the progress department!





Like I said it may not seem like much untill you think the car looked like this not long ago.






A few more things tomorrow and she will be ready to go to paint for the LTx Shoot out!

Well today marked another great day of progress!

Today I all but finished the cabin area of the car. If I could have found a damn roll of Duct tape I would not have to crawl in the back of the car one last time

Then again ALL I really have to do in the cabin area is finish trimming the dash panels around the Roll cage and finish bolting the panels in.

Today I got all the belts installed LEGALY
Programed the FJO(0.1 delay 2sec ramp from 100-300hp)
Programed WBC toturn FJO on (WOT+3,700RPM+12.5ARF= GO!)
Trim Carpet to fit.
Install trim pieces
A Little wiring

Check it out!










Area's to finish


And this nest is going in hiding(for the Show fans


After those two area's it is off to paint and then I just need to do the back of the car(Batt box, Batt cut off and Duel Bottle Mounts!

Are those fiberglass front fenders?

What spec do your seat belts have to meet? I know that for FIA they need to be below the horizontal, not sure which one you are adhering to though.

They are FIA Legal until 2011 and mounted correctly

Never found any good front Glass fenders so i am re-using the stock one. They are not really that heavy. Now if someone would make a Glass nose that fits in the STOCK Nose place I would be all over it!

I can't wait to see her run. There's no mistaking it for a race car now.

The car is looking better than ever, a class build for sure. I honestly hope you do well at the LTx shoot out. Represent the NW the way it should be, as winners. 12.5:1, is that your safety cut off a/f, or do you really have the sack and tune to run that a/f with a 300 shot? Anyway, all kidding and giving a hard time aside, good luck.

Looks great Ellis! Very nice job on the interior. Can't wait to see her blasting off the line again.

Off topic. I got a Zune last weekend. These things are great! Still loving yours? Have you hooked it up in any of your cars yet?
