Firehawk's N2 racecar project

[firehawk]

Some progress again. Some more work on the suspension and brakes, as well as finishing up the electrical stuff - mainly the switch and fuse panels.

Front hubs rebuilt with new bearings and dust seals;


TRD 7kg/mm rear springs installed, as well as brake calipers which were rebuilt with new seals. I'm using old pads and discs for now - will replace them before heading out to the track for the first time.


Rear tyres on the ground! I don't have wheels and tyres yet - for now, I grabbed some old Mangels steelies which were left over from my KE70.


My brother made a new top half for the shifter shaft, as well as a shift knob.


Electric setup inside the car. The battery is just something that was laying around in our garage - I'll be using a 18Ah gel-filled motorcycle battery instead.


Switch panel. On the top, main power and indicator light. Below it, switches for ignition power and fuel pump - three empty holes for future use. On the bottom, starter button.


And..


..it..


..WORKS!


Now I'll just need to get a new radiator and hoses for the oil cooler and I'll be ready to put all the fluids inside the engine and fire it up! Oh yeah, and distributor cap and rotor. But not a long way to go for a smoke test!
