Finally finished wiring up the amp rack (for now.. there's more to do later), and got it mounted in the car tonight. There's lots more to do ready for the meet this weekend, but she's finally coming together :)

Cheers guys :)

t5tart - thanks for the words of advice on the fuel pump the other day ... got it fitted sunday night without too much bother.

Last time I weighed it, it was 6 1/2 stone, and there's probably another stone in wiring there... so not too bad :lol: Time for uprated shocks methinks. She's already got the 310 upgrade, thankfully :D

Seriously found out that Volly clearcoat is a damn sight harder than you might expect. Moving up a notch with Menzerna Intesive Polish and some Megs #83. That'll shift the swirls (I hope)

Gotta have it looking as good as it sounds.

BTW watched 5th Gear tonight when they reviewed some stock ICE (including the new C70 dynaudio setup) and was thinking of you - LOL

Damn, I missed it.. will try to download it from somewhere :D

And yeah, must get the paint work sorted out so she's ready for the next big meet/comp :) Did you ever post pics of what you were up to on Sunday?

I am waiting for the Viking as we speak. We did some photos - I hope you can see the difference from your regular Sunday PM efforts. Thing I really struggled with was the toughness of the top coat. Volly clearcoat is not to be underestimated. I know now why vollys dont rust!!

arbee - not sure if I told you before, but the OE speaker pods house 12cm exhaust fans. There'll be 2 more fans going in the amp rack cover when I make it, to suck air in... should keep the amps nice and cool :D

I've got a friend working on some software control/web browser interface for a PC/temperature sensor setup I'll be running.. the gist of which is that I'll be able to log in to a wireless network inside the car, monitor amp rack temperatures and system voltage, and be able to turn on/off fans/amps/etc, or even start the engine (and optionally arm the alarm) using my laptop.
