Dash(ing) Update

Hey i liked the play on words there. Did a ruff drawing of what i want the centre console to look like. Here is it.



The 2 black switch in the top left hand corner controller the drive and passenger windows. The 6 red rectangles are rocker switches that will control power to.

ECU
THERMALS
START BUTTON POWER
EBC - Electronic Boost Controller
HEADLIGHTS
WINDSCREEN WIPER

The big round switch is the kill switch for cutting power from the battery to the car. The Silver Switch next to the kill switch controlls the headlight motors, allowing me to move them up and down however I want. The blue and green round items are lights, one for oil pressure and one for the alternator. The red button is the push button start, obviously it starts the car :)

Then the 2 big black items right at the bottom contain the fuses and power for the switches. It might change from this depending on how much room it all takes up, but will also try and mount the relays on there also. :) Will keep you posted.

Keeping Up to Date

Well its been a little while since I last posted and Ive been nice and busy since starting my new job. All I can say is that god I dont have to train it anymore, lol. It was definitely a killer.

Ive started playing baseball again, havent played a game just yet, but had 2 training sessions. Had a hit for the first time in over a year on Sunday just gone, and I wasnt as bad as I thought i was going to be. Had some decent line drives.

Done some work on Suzys exa over the weekend, which included changing the alternators over cause the old one was not working, and also resprayed the front bar, so its looking better. Just to get a roady for it now. Hopefully have one shortly otherwise we wont be able to register it.

Had my mate Chad down a few weekends ago after he was doing a shoot in Burleigh and he took some pics of my car. Here is one:


I hope to have a body kit and also have it painted shortly. Will get chad back down when that is done, so I can get another background picture hehe.

I have decided I want to redo my dash in the car, because it houses all the electronics of the car and at the moment its a cluster fuck, so going to be re-wiring it over the next few weekends. Will take pictures along the way. I will post a few pictures here, but all of them on my myspace once done. Here is a pic of the dash at the moment.


I will post pictures during and when finished.
Thanks
Simon
