The only concern I have about this build is how your going to squeeze the super charger in! Great job, please post some accurate performance figures once she's set-up and running 100%.
Those bloody Grifter boys will never underestimate a Chimaera again after a few laps on the track with this little pup!

Was asked for a few pictures of the interior I have done in alcantara. Got the dash done professional as looked a few too many curves and my stitching aint that good, but did the door cards and center console myself (and Macdeb)thumbup .

Got a new carpet set from Coverdale smile

Also re-located the fusebox behind the seat, made a little box for it too sit in and all seems good so far.

Very nice indeed!!!!!

I'm particularly interested in your fuse-block re-location:


It look as if you've ran the wiring loom down the outside of the passenger side, did you have to extend all the wires in order to do so? Would really appreciate some tips on how you've done this as am starting my relocation tomorrow!

TIA

Hi,

I ran the wires down the transmission tunnel I followed a guide from I think it was lotusandy??.

Didnt need to extend any wires once they were all unwrapped from the tape.

The wires you can see are for the battery that has also been re-located in the boot.

Im only a short arse but can stretch off fully in the passenger seat now.

Well worth doing smile

Hi,
I'm following his guide too - but at first look I thought your wires were running along the outside of the passengers side - but I can see now what they are!

That alcantara looks better and better the more I look at it.

Thanks again.
