very impressive 8)

One question though... Why have 2 x nos bottles -I would have thought you wouldn't want any extra weight?

This thread makes me moist...

Agree with Stu about the number banding, like 850bhp NA is normal for fucks sake lol, :D

Absolutely beautiful work mate, the fact it has carpet too makes it look properly finished. The fixtures and fittings look really good.

I hope my project comes out half as good as this is coming along

Well done

Fitting two bottles gives me options depending on how much gas I get through, if I find I can get away using one bottle for NOS and it lasts then the second will be filled with CO2 for the spray bars. The idea at the moment is to fit a fire and ice kit and connect the two bottles through a T piece for more consistent pressure.
Weight has never been at the forefront of this project, if it isn't fast enough then I will just add bigger jets and more gas :D

Driving a fast Jap import is like coming out of the closet, you might surprise some people, but in the end you are still gay.

Now, don't that look pretty :thumb:

I am sure that this is one of the most eagerly anticipated projects on the forum or any other that I use. A combination of the exacting specification and standard and the sheer potency of an 850bhp plus set up!

It's been great to see this build up and it will be even better to see it in the flesh. I'll have to pop over at some point. Talk shit, drink coffee etc :D

OK, thought I would bore you with details of the door panels only because it took a lot longer than I thought mainly because I didn't want to start hacking about the carbon without being sure I had the measurements right. That stuff is too expensive to keep buying a new sheet if you balls it up.

Anyway, started by cutting a template out of card

Image

Once I was sure it was the right shape I took it off and started cutting out the inner door where it was sticking out for previous fixtures so I could get the panels as flat as possible

Image

Image

Image

Image

Where I had cut out the largest section I fixed an aluminium plate to add the strength back in

Image

I then laid the card cutout on top of the carbon, marked it with a china-graph pencil and cut out the shape

Image

I taped the carbon to the door to make sure it was OK and wanted to mark out where the fixings would go but realised you can't see what is underneath and didn't want to drill where I wouldn't have a fixing underneath. I joined some tracing paper together and laid the card cut out on top and marked out the door panel on the tracing paper and hung it on the door

Image

I could then see where to mark the drill holes, transferred the tracing paper onto the carbon and drilled through

Image

I then hung the carbon back on the door so I could mark the door where I was going to drill

Image

Once I had drilled the holes it was time to fix some threaded inserts so I could bolt the whole thing on

Image

Image

Once I had fitted the inserts I turned the carbon over and fixed some foam strips to the back of the panel, hopefully this will stop any vibration

Image

All that was left was to bolt on the panels
