Engineer
Daytona Update # 6,
Doug is finalising the wiper sweep and installing the horn this week. Then its off to the engineer Wed/Thursday this week:):):):) That will be 2 years to the day I ordered the kit from Harrison.. STIFFY |
Almost there Mate. Engineering is a funny thing ,they allways seem to find something you haven't thought about or forgot completely about.
My FFR Coupe was Engineered last weekend. I have/had a few items to fix and change. 1- I had to fit external door handles (what a bugger) 2- I had to jack the front of the car as high as it could go so the headlight height complies. 3- I had to swap door mirrors for flat mirror items from convex 5- I had to fit padding to the rollbars. 6- I had to change the front brake master cylinder from 3/4 to 5/8 to get the front tyres to lock. it went from .63 of a G to .8 with the change. So other than those few items all went well. The noise test came in at 87db so I was happy with my choker under body exhaust. |

Yes Rich,
I need a horn.....:LOL::LOL: Albanycobra, What door handles did you use???? STIFFY |
These ones
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/IMG_1289.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...0/IMG_1286.JPG They are alloy items from Summit. I did not want to fit something like a Commodore handle or similar, I wanted something that sort of could look periodish if you know what I mean. I still don't know if I like them...... |
Handles look good Dave, where did you get your rims from they look great?
Regards. |
Cheers Mando
I got the rims from Team 111 in the USA, 17 x 11 rear 315/35/17 and 17 x 9.5 front 275/40/17. |

Dave, What progress.. **) %/ Looks good. How long did the build take? Bernie |
Hi Bernie
I guess it has taken approx 6-7 months give or take. It's not me that has made the build quick it's the FFR complete kit , I know I have said it before but when you have every nut, bolt, vehicle system sitting on the selve waiting for you it makes a car build very quick. I have had a ball building this car and it drives very well. I have been slowed down this week as I slipped a disc in my back on friday arvo and have been in great pain...... |
Next Year......

What handles are you going to use Stiffy? What else do you have to do?
I am still out with bad back, it's killing me, I have a car ready to go over the pits with all approvals I can't do anything about it. Merry Christmas to all... |
