Using the cam kit? I ain't even used mine yet, apart from night practice in the bedroom lol!

If any bits off the nova will help to get any cars to Germany, shout me and i'll remove them Barry is having seat and harnesses back lmao

[lee303]

think i'm gonna paint the bumper trims and skirts black and make the skirts proper one piece with some fiberglass, looking at the pics they let it down a bit....

[Brian_S]

Was awesome to see the Nova blasting off down the lane today! Really happy, and the Manta's coming along too. Thanks again for your help! Looking forward to doing exactly the same thing! lmao WooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOO!

[lee303]

no worries mate, happy to help, and now the nova is in rude health, you have my full attention lmao, wont be long before we're crashing into each other on the lane, don't you worry...

[Brian_S]

lmao that would be an epic fail! Crashed in the lane... Game Over.

[lee303]

on the way to the ferry, we should leave at ten minute intervals

[Brian_S]

lmao Yes! Watch out if you leave first!

[alistairolsen]

Both cars are looking great! Why do you detest heatshrink Bri? Cant wait for the nova vid and more manta progress

[Brian_S]

Just don't see much advantage in covering every inch of every wire, and then not being able to see the wire. Personal opinion too, a bit like those sticky-base cable tie fixings - should never have been "invented" FFS! lmao

[lee303]

lmao Yes! Watch out if you leave first!

you'll have to go first, that way theres a possibility of me catching your crash on the bullet cam.....

[Brian_S]

lmao Git, though with a high probability of correctness!

Ordered the pesky M12x1.5 bolts so I don't forget!

[lee303]

good good, will text you a helpful reminder tomorrow morning!!

[Brian_S]

Will indeed be a useful reminder. My TODO list appears to be growing! lmao

[lee303]

lol, uh ohlmao

[alistairolsen]

fair enough. I just like the neat all black look and the extra protection but its a pain in the arse for diagnosis I agree. You just running twists and regular ties?

Have you reached the point with the to do list where the resolution increases from "fit engine" to " remember to fit lower left rear manifold bolt" and hence doubles in length?

[lee303]

bored so edited this photo a bit, makes it look almost clean lol

[SteveM]

Cars looking/sounding great I know where your private test track is replicating

Manta looking awesome also

Don't like cable ties too much on wires either. lmao Fussy git! I twist with a drill and the twist is tight enough to keep the wires paired, then just cable tie and necessary to keep things separated and routed correctly. One connector has the crank and cam sensor, and the alternator light + enable line, the second connector has all the other sensors on, and the third has the injectors, coil pack and water pump.

...and yes, that is why my TODO list seems to be increasing because the jobs are starting to get more granular. Hopefully start ticking them all off this week coming though. Not long to go now. Booked mapping for the first Thursday in May for 4pm.
