truCido Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Well I've rang up to cancel my entry to the first race today Everythings really not coming together as well as I wanted, I will 100% make the next race though which is only a few weeks away. A few more bits arrived today, including my pedal box which has bits missing from it :@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro3mark Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Bolts in the bulkhead.2 nuts on the steering column.Aside from a lot of screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 got to remove mine for my cage, but want to try and keep the dash as intact as possible as mine will have a heater going back in etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 You'll be fine, like said above its just loads screws. I just went at it and undid absolutely everything. You won't have a problem putting it back in. The lower part of the dash is plastic welded to the top part but it all comes out together and wont come apart unless you really try!

pro3mark Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Top half of the dash comes out all in one piece.Bottom half of the dash is in two pieces, one includes the center console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truCido Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Just a bit of an update, there's a race on monday and testing on thursday, I really wanted to make the testing on Thursday but it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to as I wasn't able to bring the car home today. So I'm in two minds on weather to do the race or not....Also my list of things to do has grown due to a few "issues". My to do list is...Fit Clutch CableFit Throttle CableFit Oil Catch TankFit brake pipes inside carCover door insides with aluminiumGet 2 plates welded in for harnesses Edited April 27, 2010 by truCido Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
