Another spec change today...ops:
Going for an AIM dash now... I want the GPS laptiming stuff.... and also the cooool video stuff it can do....
and so might as well go for spunky ECU whilst we are at it.
Sooo.... Pectel T6 2000 going in!
which means I have a L8 for sale.
With MSD chip for standard engine on a T34. 63, Siemens blacks and coilpacks and closed loop fueling. This is a LOVELY bit of kit and the car runs sooooo beautifully on it.
Also for sale is a 'Ryan' engine loom to match....
oh and a Powerchips moniter thingy.
some more pics too...
fuel tank in for good now... and cage back on AGAIN

fuel system fully aeroquipped now.

patented Stu 2 piece body!!!

Trial fitting the CSR style aero cycle wings...

an arch is on!

The width of the rear wheels and fat tyres and the wider track and arches is making me smile soooo much!
It looks sooo cool underneath as welllots of new shiny bits! It's virtually all new at the back. Just diff casing and uprights remain from original car now!

New Pectel T6 2000 ecu and Ryan loom in some kind of flash rubber stuff now all installed and working..... even though Stu was really confused with it at this point (notice the hand... and the CHAIR!)

I'm actually more impressed with my new carpers and carbon interior panelsops:

Sorry for crappy phone shots. lots more proper updates pics on camera. will pull them off later
all that Dash and moniters and gauges will be going.... including that laptimer that I used..... ONCE!
My new Pectel T6 will be talking straight to an AIM dash with GPS laptiming.....
heres the loom and ecu before it went in
![]()
oh and quick plug for martooon.... T6 needed a new trigger wheel pulley thing so he gave ne this one... For free... Well he hasn't charged me anything yet anyway!

Got another new Toy for it! well 2 new ones really. AIM pista dash and AIM smartycam
bought one for Stu toooo as a pressie to say thanks for the hours of hard work
http://www.smartycam.com/index_eng.htm
check out some of the videos in the Gallery. The camera works directly with our AIM dashes.... and overlays the data you want on the film. Ubercoolness and quality viewing at post track day booooze ups!
We can watch again and again and see just how fast me and Stu were going and what Gforce we were pulling at the exact moment we both ****ed around the outside of Super Mike Rainbum midcorner... :banana:
and also means I can get GPS laptimes on the AIM pista dash and PREDICTIVE laptimes... so you can change lines when out on track and see how that affects your laptime instantaneously....
My new AIM pista dash also data logs and maps against GPS as well so you can see if you had low old pressure or high charge temps or going lean at certain points of the track etc
COOOOOOOL!!!!!!
Dash Last night...

New Switches in... and Fuel gauge and boost. (Aim dash does display boost... but I prefer an analouge boost gauge) I asked Stu to paint the Bezel on the Aquamist gauge to match...
![]()

to THIS! Westy dash Mk3.

REALLY REALLY pleased with it!!!! HUGE THANKS TO STU!!!!!!
I did actually like the first dash he did for me with the VDO gauges... But it all ended up looking a bit 'Mission control' after I started sticking more and more gadgets on it! and although I prefer the look of anlaouge gauges, You just can't look at them on track in a car as open and fast and mental as this. Soooo says you lost oil pressure, by the time you looked at the gauage it would be too late.
Sean Bicknell and Stu both have AIM dashs and although I don't like Digi layout they explained that if you set the alarms properly and very high. Then you know that if you see a red Red light. You HAVE to stop as its BAD! So I can explain that to anyone that drives it![]()
also the AIM dash will link with my new AIM Smarty Cam!!!! only trouble was I needed a new ECU to run it
So MASSIVE THANKS AGAIN TO STU!!!!!!!
LEGEND! :god:
can't wait to use it!
I LOVE that Advert!
Stu made a loom for the AIM dash last night...
and wired in the aux switches.

Been busy today earning my trip to the 2010 Abu Dhabi F1!!! Getting the dash sorted. All up and running and talking to the T6 fine as well. Good progress.
Actually, if it was mapped and I bolted the front arches on it could go to Bedford for a shakedown next weekend.
Hazard light and switch wiring a real pain!!!
