Timmys fc3s

[flatout]

i have been keeping an eye on this build for a long time now and have to say you have been doing a great job,

[Prof]

This build is coming along nicely  Nice one Timmy.
 
Those OMP lines do get fragged so easily, the plastic doesn\'t like to bend anymore.  Nice job on those.
 
Looking forward to the fuel update

[jimmydanny]

I would love to make proper pop-up low-rise on my FC with something like those, or with separate Hella H7 projectors for lo and hi!

[Timmyc]

flatout - thanks man, been trying to keep the work to a decent standard, its been a long time in the making
 
prof - thanks prof yeah the lines were very brittle, surprised they lasted as long as the had, going to make a new set for the bridgeported engine as well
 
a little teaser of part of the fuel system for you prof
 
 
 
jimmydanny - i have a set of headlight rods somewhere that allow the  headlight to sit lower than standard, will try fit them mate, you could maybe make a set yourself that sit even lower

[Timmyc]

since the last update a few little things were sorted
finally metal tied my manifold
 

 
painted and fitted the coolant pipe for my heaters
 

 
tidied up the wiring loom near the bulkhead
 

 
battery box in
 

 
stripped my handbrake lever to get the lever out as it had slipped down and fired on a handbrake button i had lying, will swap the level for the black standard buttoned one later on, had used alan key bolts on it now as well
 

 
put the doors and bonnet on, actually looks like a car again
 

 

 

 

 
not looking forward to fitting these lol
 

 
made a bracket and fitted the killswitch
 

 
trail routed my killcords and ran battery cable
 

 
decided to install my ecu properly, so made a bracket
 

 
fitted the bracket
 

 
fitted the ecu
 

 
have now routed the wiring above the the ecu to make it nice and neat
 
a little present from my gf
 

 
good quality and shiney
 

 
while doing the ecu i made a template for my hand commander
 

 
then made a little holder for it, will look nicer when mounted and sprayed
 

 

 

 
then this arrived
 

 
un packed it
 

 
swirl pot arrived
 

 
aeromotive regulator arrived as well
 

 
assembled some of the fittings
 

 
bolted on the regulator, (not the fittings im using yet, also got a jegs gauge to fit to it)
 

 
took the in tank pump out to replace it with my walbro
 

 
modified the pump cradle
 

 
fitted the pump
 

 
fitted a metal plate to the rear and bolted down all the components
　

 
swirl pot and fittings to walbro
 

 
fittings in the engine bay to the rails
 

 
the regulator and the feed and return pipes
 

 
with the inlet manifold on
 

 
the finished product ran the lines down the passengers sill, all the lines are teflon braided so i wont get a petrol fume smell plus there is the option of boxing in the setup if i come to use it for competion use
 

 

 

 
changed all my brake pipe routing along with pull cords and battery cable, all look nice and neat
 

 

 
quickly jacked my wheel into the arch to check if 255/45/17s fitted and they do nicely with a little camber
 

 
cut some silicon hose and pipe and did my intercooler piping, although the pipe is temporary as i need an alloy bit to weld my dumpvalve flange onto, i have also done all my radiator pipe and its read to be fitted with coolant
 

 
now... the biggest bit of news is all about power and shiney things!!! :-D
 
i have aquired a few lovely item from a very nice friend for the bridgeported engine
 
a Garrett TA45 HKS hybrid :-D rebuilt with 0 miles
　

 
a strengthened HKS twin scroll manifold with 50mm HKS wastegate :-D
 

 
both together and on the engine
　

 

 

 

 
cant wait to fit this around christmas time or in the new year
 
but how do you control such amazing shiney power??
with a wonderfully shiney ORC twin plate clutch with lightened flywheel is how
 

 

 
currently working on my own seat rails as bride ones dont allow my seats to go low enough so will see how they turn out
 
just need oil feed and return lines and my extra fuel rail along with fluids and ishould be able to start her up

[festa]

All I can say is epic build mate!!!

[Timmyc]
