As good as anything they are making for major money anywhere Paul.

I was lucky enough to see it yesterday. Bloody awesome and possibly the best I’ve seen. I cannot wait until it’s all together and dialled in.

Top work mate.

Sensational work. As a matter of interest from a novice - what is the box / computer that replaces the relays & fuses ?

[Paul Ford]

It's a MoTeC Power Distribution Module (PDM) is designed to provide electronically switched power to the cars electrical systems.
It replaces conventional relays, fuses and circuit breakers, simplifying wiring and reducing weight while increasing reliability.
I already had a the MoTeC ECU so this links in with that.

PDM is the unit on the right.

Thanks Paul - cool

It's pretty amazing for something so small and light:
BASIC SPECIFICATIONS

Outputs

• 8 x 20 A outputs - 20 A continuous, 115 A transient (typical)
• 7 x 8 A outputs - 8 A continuous, 60 A transient (typical)

Inputs

• 16 x Switch inputs

Communications

• 1 x CAN

Diagnostic Information

• Output current and voltages
• Input voltages
• Error status

Physical

• Connectors
  • 1 x 34 pin waterproof connector
  • 1 x 26 pin waterproof connector
  • 1 x M6 stud
• Case size 108 x 128 x 39 mm
• Weight 260 grams

Only downside is needing to plug a laptop into it so diagnose complex problems. Simple issues like overloads appear on the mini dash that I'm mounting in the clock receptacle in the dash.

Its been a while since I've had anything to update. Progress has been painfully slow.
The exhaust is now complete and off getting ceramic coated.

Comp IMG_6429.jpg Fairly complicated but I'm assured it will flow well and sound good

Using proper V band attach clamps as well by the looks of it. I wouldn’t expect anything less from Michael.

It matches the quality of the rest of the car. Quite a challenge getting it to fit. Should be running it up on the dyno in a week or 2.

Found this old picture today. It's the only one I have of the car in it's heyday. Gold Coast Indy in the late 90's. If anyone knows of any others I'd appreciate a heads up.

I'll have a look - there was an iteration before this..... 3.0 RSR look.

Exhaust looks good freshly ceramic coated.
Sourcing a fiberglass "amber" fan shroud and tin ware is proving difficult as this is a 964 turbo based engine.
Mike has made a Mould from the original and had several attempts but is not getting the level of quality we have set with the rest of the car.
If anyone has any suggestions for specialists in SEQ who might be able to do this for me I'd appreciate a heads up.
This is all that is holding him up from getting the engine on the dyno.
