48722, Clean up the race car
Posted by bullettdsm, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Just a little eye candy for those that think I never care about looks (and truth be told I don't, BUT it sure does look good, lol).

Started something like this (I couldn't find a recent photo);


And then we took everything out (including all the wires);


Then sanded and primed;


And then painted;


And then decided to put in the 3G master (much neater look);


And then reset the inside wiring and MS to go along with a single board;


And then did a wire tuck and cleaned and stuffed everything back in;




Its still going to get the "horn", but I haven't gotten the bumper back yet so I can't fit it properly.

As for why I didn't do this before, well first off, I'm a lazy ass who doesn't really care about looks. But also, I was experimenting with lots of different set-ups, I wasn't sure where everything thing would end up. so there was no reason to clean up crap and waste the time in "making it pretty" if I was going to just change it in a couple of months.

My Honda buddy Darin finally talked me into this and helped me considerably in figuring stuff out (as did the quick calls to Zac and Tim, lol) and as much as I hate to admit it, he was right. Everything is so much easier to diagnose etc.

Looking good. I'm really digging the wire tuck and the "motherbrain" if you will of all the wiring back to the MS.

Can't wait to see her at the SO this year. }(

Sigh, I haven't been on any kind of track in over 2 yrs. would definitely prefer hpde events over autocross, although I may have to try out autocross since its so much cheaper than any hpde event

I like that 3G master in there. I may have to get one of those for the daily...
