99hjhm Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Decided where to put the fire ex yet???Have fun with the FIA switch, you need to add a supply off something that will cut the ignition.... Easier said than done on a modern car.Are you keeping the Lupo clocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Decided where to put the fire ex yet???Have fun with the FIA switch, you need to add a supply off something that will cut the ignition.... Easier said than done on a modern car.Are you keeping the Lupo clocks?I've been thinking about this and reading up on everything one of the big problems is that the lupo rear end is too light, so I've been thinking that its probably best off placed in the rear along with the battery, however I hope to get it corner weighted first so I can judge the best place to put it.There must be somewhere!At the moment yes however I have been looking at replacement dials etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Tis looking to get some good progress, i found with my Sport that the back end was light.Make sure you get the seat REALLY far back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truCido Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Sorry about the lack of progress, been busy with other things and I've just got myself a bit of money together so I've got the money to get the roll cage and pay to have it fitted although I haven't found anyone local yet....I'm also going to Autosport International and I hope to pickup a few bits and pieces there!

truCido Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 After a bit of faffing it was quick easy really, there are a few bolts under the scuttle panel that you need to undo but it was pretty straight forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
