If I'd had same kind of pile of electronics and wires on my car, I'd immediately give up and get drunk. :D

Best of luck with that project. :up:

Yhea the wires are giving me a headache... lucky not all the wires has to be in the car...

After the wires are done i still got a loooooong way to go... hopefully the engine and gearbox wont give me any problems :D

btw rear axle is almost done ( missing some rubbers for the axle and some i have to order some bearings....)! =D
And i changed already the steering rack, and the steer is on and ofcourse a part of the wires from fuel guage and rear lamps,indicator, etc.. are also done! ;) Tonnight i start whit the wires in the front for example for the engine,.. indicator etc,

Diligent!, good luck for the project and join the rally.

I will post the finished build ,
the additonal lamps ( at the bottom) does function now as foglights,( i think original its made for foglights)
,but for the rally is this not alloud at night stages because i already got 6 head lights , 2 the orginial and 4 from the light bar so i will keep it as foglights.

Yhea after 3 months putting the wires on the right place, its finally good! we had some trouble whit starting because the starter was stuck,... after 3 starters we finally had a starter that worked ( yhea i had some really bad luck! lucky i had 4 starters! ),.. so as u saw we tried to start the rallycar and it worked!

This week i have to put 3 sensors in place and ,fit the radiator and stuff in it, guess at the end of this week i can run the car longer and better.

After this week its building off the rallycar ,and check everything
So i hope to make in 3 weeks a test drive, of course i will put it on video!

Here is a short video we made when we did some brake and tire testing.
yes it is without the rear bumper spoiler because when we where testing I didn’t had a new rear bumper yet (we lost the last one in the Tank S Short Rally )

We are currently 4th in the championship after 2 short rallies =D

Sop enjoy the movie!
