Ahh, couldn't resist taking pics of the latest stuff. 

Got the f/glass dash covered in Black Suede complete with stitching around the old gauge panel. Looks pretty nice and no glare. 

New gearshift complete with Rodder 8-ball ha!! That was done as a bit of a joke but it actually feels really nice so I might keep it. Also got the Ethanol sensor mounted so all the fuel system is plumbed in. 

Getting close to going to the dyno with the 2.5L motor. Hoping to sneak up to an Aussie 350whp. Probably more likely 330whp with stock head. Should be ok in a lighter, stiffer, grippier car I hope.

The guys had to fab up an assembly to work the accelerator cable from the pedal. Seems very strange that Tilton doesn't offer some generic setup like this??

Nicer pic of dash. We will cut down the shifter a few more inches too. The throw isn't too bad but it's a bit long.

Getting closer now. Wiring almost finished and off to dyno this week. Always a few more things to be done but aiming at being back on the track early March.

Oh, and we shortened the gearshifter. Bit nicer throw now. Not that you can tell but these are a different 'Clubsport' door card. So no armrests and winders. For now the window motors are still in the doors and still working. What they've done is run the wires into a couple of nuts and put them just under the latches on the inside of the doors. So you attach power to both terminals and with the polarity on one way the window goes up, and the opposite happens also. So that's kinda cool for now.
