General Superspotter's Barchetta Project,well Doc's done it....

[LittleRedB]

Ah - no passengers - good plan!!

Not criticising the wiring - looks like a neat job I am a bit fastidious (not as much as the Doc though) and try to hide things where possible.....

Mind you, I guess from the drivers view you won't see the wires and unless you are a really short passenger who chooses to sit in the footwell you won't see them!!!

 

[superspotter]

Just had another look at the picture I posted and tomorrow I wiill employ another little piece of the black twisty stuff to hide those wires that are showing

 

[LittleRedB]

Good man!!! Don't want sloppy showmanship now do we??

So, what's the chances of you making it to AutoItalia at Gaydon then?

Dont do Sundays
Not that I'm religious or anything, it's called work

I like the dials I will fit mine on the window pillar I think but I want dials that match up with the OEM dials as much as poss. I did see somone fit a dial in the air vent and that looked OK so if I am not happy with the pillar position then I will try that.

Nice work Superspotter, as far as I know you are the first one in the UK to fit any new dials.

 

[superspotter]

I thank you Doc!!
Would hate to mutilate the dash and fit them into the air vent holes:yuck:
Also, as mentioned before, I think that fitting them to the A pillar in the B would be too near your face
These dials are really cool though when lit up, I went into the garage tonight when it was nice and dark just to sit in the car to see them lit up

I kept going out and turning the lights on when I first fitted the HID's - sad innit?

Sadly yes, but who am I to talk? I log on here every day and I don't have a B at the moment....

Whenever my B falls apart I think I'll pop over to old Blighty and pick a new one up; they're dirt cheap, you lucky c*nts!

Much better prices I'd buy the black one from 04 and fit white 17" OZ WRC alloys on it :slayer:

Just received the oil filter adaptor to enable me to now wire in the two gauges so this is my job for Wednesday. At the same time I can give the B an oil and filter change so will look to use a semi synthetic oil.So hopefully the oil pressure and oil temperature gauges will be up and running Wednesday afternoon
By the way, as you can see in the picture, this is a very high quality piece of billeted aluminium used for the adaptor and at £9.99 plus shipping, rather beats the £86ish certain stores want for the same thing here

 

[docorangepeel]

Looks good, and as you said good value

Your B'll end up looking like something Swedish with the yellow and blue

Fisher Price was suggested.......

I had a Tonka Toy once...............dropped it!!

 

[LittleRedB]

Okey Dokey!
Finally got the amp and speakers finished I also decided to take my JVC DVD/CD/MP3/god knows what else it plays player out of my 4 X 4 and put my amp to good use in the B It now sounds very crisp and clear doing 100MPH (on a private road m'lud).
You will see in one of the pics the crossovers placed next to the amp that I am using to run the speakers seperately. Then it was on to the trip meter fix

Where did you put the subwoofer?
