SRowells Black Rallye

[Eeyore]

Yesterday it was the Felixstowe Road Run and towards the end of the show I sneaked in and parked on the front with my mates landy.



Today was another day of car things. Started just after lunch and tom came over. Lots of things done! Twin fans wired in, aftermarket alarm system removed, interior removed, belts removed, buckets fitted, harnesses and eyes fitted, plx touchscreen afr gauge fitted. Routed the shift light, rev and afr wires through the grommet above the master cylinder. Wired in the rev gauge and we are all good!

The aftermarket alarm had ultrasonics and a keypad which we removed. There was then a whole bunch of wires which were connected at neither end. The sound box in the bay was full of water and the boot open switch was wired to the boot light. Anyway thats all removed now which is great as I wasnt planning on removing it. It was only because we had to swap the a pillars to black ones that i found a whole bunch of wires which were all coiled up and rubbish. Its left 4 holes in the bulkhead so i gave them a quick spray and fitted the bung that had come out of the master cylinder hole.



Not many pictures of the process but we fitted the buckets. I havent seen it done like this before but it goes... seat, 5 door slider frames, 5 door subframes, 3 door subframes. Reason for the layers is that the 5 door frames have a bracket for mounting the inner strap of the harness. Also the sliders are better quality than aftermarket ones, its a wider base and also someone had hacked the inside holes on the 3 door frames so best to use the outer ones. 3 of 4 holes lined up so we drilled a 4th. Fitted in the rain as well.





So yeh its pretty racey on the inside now!



Also relocated the USB cable to the glovebox instead of the drivers footwell. Lots of little things! Thanks to tom for coming over and helping. Seems to be a weekly occurrence these days! Looking to be FCS ready now. Matrix is leaking so either a quick change or a blank may be needed if it gets worse.
