    Spent a few nights this week sorting out cam angle sensor.

    Had to make a hybrid of a new KR hall effect sensor and an ABF housing so I could use the single window rotating vane.

    Don't need to distribute spark so I made a cap.





    I need a cam angle sensor to run coil per cylinder and sequential injection.

    Started bolting down the electrical stuff.

    Here's the switch box a little closer and a little less green.

    Battery is bolted down in that position now.



    Made a cage for the ECU and bolted it in.



    Found somewhere to mount the logger.



    Interior taking shape. I had to put the seat back in so I could position the switches.



    Routed and secured the hoses in the engine bay.

    Installed the fire system.




    One nozzle in the engine bay.



    Battery cutoff on the left and fire extinguisher on the right.

    There's still decals to put on to mark the functions.



    Second nozzle in the cabin pointed at the driver's midriff.



    Still have to clip down some of the cables and hoses.

    Hi torque starter motor.

    These are a geared unit and look to be an adaption of the 16v Toyota starters.

    As supplied it was a little too close to the radiator so I removed the adapter plate and reworked it to rotate the starter into a new position.

    Finalised the mounting and linkage for the clutch slave cylinder. Just need to sort out a custom hose for it next Saturday.

    Roll cage padding can go in now.

    This is the new spec SFI style padding, it's really dense and is easier to work with.

    Key chain quick release for the isolation switch so I can remove it from the car when it's not in use.
