Gen 2 Megabusa

[Lyons]

Fantastic! I love the little touches.

Excuse my ignorance, but do you get instructions with a kit car like this? Or are you just awesome?!

 

[Phil_EK9]

Really?

Heres my workshop:

Pffffffffffft, look at you with your fancy shelter

 

[Rob]

Lyons the build manual went out the window long ago!

Are you here for the 1st race Barry?

 

[BarryPort]

Are you here for the 1st race Barry?

Not sure if il make the race on the 29th but aiming to have the car out for the sprint on the 22nd. The body is rough & needs paint but it would be a good event to dial the car in after being laid up all winter. What about yourself?

I'll certainly not be at the sprint but 50/50 on the race, new car still needs a lot of work.

I'll be there tho, rob should be out and I'll be along to give him a hand at least.

 

[gixermark]

Look forward to seeing this car out..

 

[Rob]

FINALLY, it's back! Two duff ECU's and 10 weeks later, it's now wired up and alive.

 

[IL]

It will be exciting getting a seat in now and having your 1st drive in it!

 

[EF Ian]

Great, bet you can't wait to get it 100% and get out in it.

 

[civicglacier]

Just had a read,.. Best thread I've read in years,.. Attention to detail is first class.

 

[AW]

Any more updates Rob?

 

[Rob]

Been ages since I updated the thread. The car was up for IVA about 6 weeks ago and failed on a number of items, nothing too serious though but I just have had no time to get them sorted. Managed to grab some garage time this weekend and been working through the list. I also got the car insured with Flux and as part of the agreed value I had to take seven photos for them, so thought I would share them with the rms massif to show where I am at.

 

[diesel-dave]

That is looking well. Fair play to you.

 

[KeithRobinson]

Mazin!!!

 

[Woodcutter]

Awesome Scrobert. Big respect for building such a cracking car.

Would you not change the two square rear lights on the body to LED's to match the rest?

 

[Rob]

They are going in the bin along with the reflectors once IVA has been passed

 

[Nazor]

Fantastic Rob - Stack dash is so awesome!

 

[EF Ian]

Looks Awesome

Any Updates?

 

[Rob]

Any Updates?

Had the car back up for IVA retest a couple of weeks ago, cleared off about 20 fail points but failed once again on noise and emissions. Not had much time since to look into it... was great to get the whole of the rest of the car ticked off the list so I suppose at least now I can focus my efforts on these last two points.

 

[Ceebl]

Just read this start to finish... Unreal thread! get some vids of it going once you get it all tested and out driving! will be nice to see it in action after all your amazing work!
Chris.

 

[Rob]

WOOOOHOOO!!!

Only took 4 bloody attempts. Now the transformation into a race car can properly commence, with the first event at the end of March! Should have some better updates coming soon to get the thread back on track. For the mean time though she's tucked up for the night.
