Cals Budget 32 Build

[Calsonic14U]

So had some time today, went and picked up some split tubing and P clips. Ran the battery cable and secured from switch panel to battery.

Looks alot better now and also a little more protection. Also did the same with my wiring for the tail light section. been pricing up roll cages and

also measuring the windows for the plexi glass to be cut. Heres some picks. Also the place I got some roll cage quotes from also do CAMS approved

bolt in cages. anyone had experience with both? Price difference is say basic 6 point with harness bar weld in $2200ish and bolt in would be around

$1700ish installed. As im looking to now do super sprints and texi im not sure what my requirement is. Id love only to have to put a half cage in but being

un-registered i think it requires a full cage.

I take it you went ahead with the 8-gauge cable for the battery relocation?

[Calsonic14U]

Same wiring as was in previous pictures, as the car runs and starts no dramas, no need for now to spend extra cash replacing brand new cable. I refered to my auto elec he said it would be fine just wont last as long as the other cable type. As in resistance in the cable will happen earlier then the heavier guage wire.

So finnaly got the master cylinder for the brakes sorted. A new unit was sorced and installed. Not a 32 GTst one but from another car (dont ask which one my brake place got it). They made some new pipe joins to make it fit apparently its designed a little different to the original one and will give a bit better and more possitive pedal feel. It was cheaper trade to me then a 32 one so im not complaining. Installed and blead brakes.

Have found an oil catch can and coolant overflow and possibly a CF GTR vented bonnet. So hopefully soon she will look more complete. Digging into the cams book, think the car may only require a half cage as im only doing track days, texi and possibly some super sprints. Which arnt classed as actual "racing" which mean it should only need a half cage fingers crossed. Can get a CAMS approved one installed welded for just under $1000 with paperwork.

So definately getting there, exhaust will be done in a few weeks, saving hard for a wedding and building a car is proving quite challenging.

Getting closer man

[Calsonic14U]

Yah just happy i can drive her in and out of workshop with out having to pull her up with a handbrake lol

[Calsonic14U]

So another quick update. I can run a half cage in non CAMS run events including track days and texi, without needing log book ect. So looks like i may be getting Brad from pro fab to install the half cage weld in for me next month. Got some harnesses which im picking up next week along with the other goodies. So she may even be ready for the next SAU texi day! Not getting my hopes up just yet lol. Have got plenty of mates lined up that want a drive or ride lol. Trial fitted front bar needs some mods to clear front mount but looks nice when all together. Every day is one step closer

So another quick update. Bled brakes on friday arvo and got bored so fitted my tri spoke rims that i cant seem to sell. 18's all round 265 on the rear 235 fronts. Just clears and for some reason im kinda liking them. Tires are still in good nick so wouldn't be to shabby for a texi day or something definitely needs coilovers

[Miguelone]

Keep dem Try Force Zeldas!

[Calsonic14U]

Your about the only person who likes em lol, besides myself they are growing on me

[Calsonic14U]

So exciting update today. Talked to Brad at Pro Fab, have booked the 32 in for a weld in half cage on the 25th of feb. Along with that shes getting the 3inch exhaust done with side exit before rear wheel, cage with harnes loops, rear and quarter windows, CF vented bonnet and gearbox mount modified. So when she returns she will just need sunroof sorted, front glass and thats bout it

[Calsonic14U]

So another update, got some little things done in the last few days. Brought a catch can and coolant overflow bottle. Found my original coolant overflow but was dirty and crap so a second hand fabricated one is now in its place, and a greddy catch can, made the bracket up for it in 10min and bobs your uncle. Just need to run the hoses now from the rocker covers. Also re installed cluster surround to test headlights and wipers. I have working lights no wipers, lacking a power supply. No big deal to fix. So getting closer again. And just for some LOL's I purchased a few stickers. One for the passenger and a HOONIGAN one not sure where to put that one yet. Enjoy the pics.

This one made me LOL when i saw it on FB!

The HOONIGAN sticker is a nice addition too! Where you buy it?

[Calsonic14U]

Just on Ebay man cheap as chips like $5 posted. I love ken blocks Gymkhana series and always makes me want to go texi. So im thinking possibly on the rear bar for the hoonigan one and get a black one to possibly sit on the center dash part.

Awesome, ill have a look

So car left for the fabricator today. i got my quotes all mixed up and my budget has only aloud for a decent half cage and exhaust. Full 3 inch no cat, 1 hotdog. Will also have a flange so a normal bolt on cat back can be fitted for certain events. Harness brackets will be fitted along with the weld in harness bar as part of the cage. CF bonnet will be fitted and modified gearbox mount done. Also looks like the Recaros are useless because they sit to high in the car on dodgy brackets. lucky i picked up a cheap set of GTR seats which will do until i feel like an upgrade. So just need to watch which events i enter as it wont have CAMS log booking. Most SAU run days will still be fine along with drifting at the Creek So now the wait begins It was going to be 3 days now apparently I shouldn't expect the car back till next week Good things come to those who wait but im impatient lol. SAU texi is comming up

Anyway heres a pic of the car leaving on the truck. Boaring but significant. Next update will have all the goodies

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

wow heaps has changed since I last saw it at the shop!

[Calsonic14U]

Did you see it when it turned up now? Yah shes a running driving shell now lol. Just needs the fab work and windows and shes ready for some skids

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

when I saw it, it still had windows hahaha.. at that time you pulled off the head and dropped it off at the machinist

[Calsonic14U]

Ah yah cool. Its still got the windows in the doors they are just down. Cant work out how to wire the switches as i dont have the original door harnesses so atm there is a power wire into the door and i hook up a temp switch to make them go up or down because normally it switches the earths around. When she comes back she will almpst look like a complete car
