Works out if I use all Glass Panels I can save around 100 Kg’s for about $2500… not great bang for the $ as I’m not really racing for Sheep Stations.. 

Don’t know of anyone doing VR/S Carbon and imagine it’ll be more exe again..

I know Carlo Lunetta here in Adelaide who owns/runs CLC Composites, my lad used to race karts against his son.  He is an ex Ferrari F1 carbon fiber guy.  I reckon he may have molds not sure, might be worth at least a call.  The other thing is the windows isn’t it, people swap out the glass to lexan dont they?  All depends how far you want to go I guess, and how much $$

Yep all comes down to the $$$, you come up hard against diminishing returns at this point in a car like mine give at an event I can pick up 40 odd Kg’s of dirt..

Would probably take 40 Kg’s of it to work though

All wired up, I ran some firesleeve on the Battery cables as the insulation had melted enough to stick them together, should be a non issue now!

Thanks Gary, it’s all function over form but done neatly it doesn’t look like arse 

Almost there…. again.

Damn your header clearance on the drivers side must be TIGHT.

Is that an accumulator on the front.

will you put your front shafts in now or when it’s in the car

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

I’ll put em back in now, they’re just out for a regrease, figured while it’s apart I’d repack all 10 CV joints 

Hasn’t done much in the way of KM’s but it’s been in some seriously harsh conditions over the past 18 months.

That would drive me crazy what a mess glad your cleaning it and not me ,wow 10 cv’s

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Yep wasn’t at all happy, not to mention my Karcher shit itself halfway through so I had to make a 140 Km round trip to replace it…

what a difference clean ,sucks about the round trip are you cv’s the standard ones or have you upgraded for the power you have ,what’s the split front – rear

Not too bad if you get it quickly, since built the set up below so it get’s done right away!

<span style=”color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;”><span style=”font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;”>Been putting this job off long enough… Had to buy the BIG tub of grease and lucky I did, still have 2 CV’s left to do and it’s half empty, After inspection I could have left them alone but I didn’t have any idea on a service interval under these conditions now I know! One thing that justified doing them was the front right had broken the clip that holds the axle in the joint, this could have been bad at some stage so it’s fixed now! </span></span>

Nothing wrong with some preventative maintenance mate.  You didn’t know they didn’t need it until you pulled them apart.  Few bucks in grease and a little time well spent.

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

I agree Gary, now I have a rough idea I’ll hit em again in 4 years or so 

Did the CV in the Tailshaft then worked out how to get the old Transfer case CV off the front shaft, once that was done fitted up the axles and that’s me done till parts arrive…
