Guys,

Got a bit more done on my R500 today, mostly electrics.

So today was the first time I breathed life into her with electrical power.

Here's the video clip of her first breaths!!

So you read the manual concerning the stack buttons then.........................yeah right more interested pushing them to see what happens
Bet you can't wait untill you fire up the engine.
Lovely car.
I bet your patience is running thin now you are very close to finishing.

Peter,

What manual would that be then???

I have no build manual, and no manual for an R500, oh and oh yeah, no manual for the Stack dash either.

Nuff said???

Half the owners with that stack do not know what the buttons do!!
Build manual............... that covers this are you crazy???
Half the fun is guessing what goes where and how does this fit.

Peter,

Yes agreed, however not sure how many people apart from Marcello who have the R500 Stack dash like mine, so I still think its pretty unique amongst Caterham owners..

The gear dash indicator is quite large and quite readable, but I will install the Geartronics indicator on top of the dash as per my other pictures.

I will not be using the Caterham supplied Quaife indicator, its too big.

I am sure it will be up for sale on fleabay soon.
