It’s alive!

Today was the first time in 8 months that the car was started. The engine started on the first try and everything sounds and looks good. Tomorrow is the License Day of PowerDrift Series, which is what I’ve been working towards during the winter and a lot of effort in the last 3 weeks. I hope I can capture some video from tomorrows event and publish it here on my site.

Purchased various parts from Gundersen Motorsport, everything in Sparco of course.

Progress towards License Day

by Sondre 16. April 2009 09:08

A lot of progress recently, working to complete the car for License Day 26th of April. Built a fully custom instrument panel, electrical wiring harness is still being worked at, it’s getting better and removing unused wires.

Tested the electrical system and everything seem to be in order. Installed the wire for the main power switch, which is used for emergencies. Tested the seat belts in the Sparco seats, the belts fit well in the roll cage.

Here is the custom instrument panel that I built, all the gauges and switches has now been glued to the panel:

Sparco suite

Recently purchased a Sparco driving suite, shoes and gloves. Protection is important when you’re driving on the track. Manipulated the photo and put a big FDBoy.com logo on it, hopefully it will have some sponsor-logos eventually.
