Haven't been to Melbourne for a few years, do have some family down there I probably should visit though! There isn't really anyone local here (Northern NSW) I would have to trailer the car to The Gold Coast or Brissy I would imagine but I would rather have a go myself, at fitting that is. So are you saying you would be able to make a copy of yours if required?

Just found a picture of the finished product in my xrti.

I could make a copy of mine - I believe I have enough spare material. If you want to have a go yourself I could make you just the main hoops.

Ok I managed to make some mesh to cover in the sides of the lights. Just got to paint black and urethane them in.





Also fitted the fire system. Will cut of all the cable ties once the urethane (clear) has set.





Also fuel tank progess. You are looking at the bottom of the tank. I have two sumps on the side each feeding (via a carter pump on each - chosen because they can be run dry and are reliable) an internal central surge tank which will then feed a pair of 044's. The internal tank will have some holes up the top to return to the main tank internally and the return from the engine in the top.

I am thinking two internal baffles inside the tank and 5 x 12mm holes top and bottom along their length.

Any ideas on if I am doing anything bad? Tank is 120mm deep and sumps are further 100mm deep. Tank holds 70lt or so.











Delivered engine to John Sidney Racing so waiting on the call when it is set up on dyno!

I cant offer any ideas on the tank but seems to be ideal to me. What fire system are you going for. I have been looking at these http://www.mmsport.com.au/products/1044/MQ-Fire-Bomb

Went for a SPA 4lt alloy electric one from Revolution Racegear. $1200 I think.

Make sure you buy some extra tubing (if it comes with 5m its not enough). Hassle them to trow it in to sweeten the deal ($10 a metre normally).

Hi linc i dont think your car is going to be ready for sandown this year, but the project is looking great....

I see you have managed to get some mesh sorted. Where you able to buy it like that or did you have to modify? Thanks for the offer on the cage, I will talk with you further about it when I get a little closer. I don't think you need any tips on your tank, as with everything you have done it looks top notch!
