    A little more progress. Whilst there hasnt been any developments on the bodykit (bodyshops eh!) I have started reinstalling the loom and fitting the custom steering setup.

    Since its more road/track orientated build now, I decided to reuse the existing loom with some stripping of unwanted wiring and a good tidy. This will just run the cars ancillaries. I will have a standlone loom and system for the engine.

    Been a lot of trial and error to fit the EPAS system to the car using a manual NSX rack I had with the EPAS system. But in the end using a combination of the GM unit, NSX and EP3 parts it fits perfectly and the UJ movement is perfect. I have even managed to get the existing steering wheel surround to fit

    The EPAS unit with modified UJ and column



    Alignment of the column is perfect. I hope you like my (ahem) Type R pedals

    Not a bad OEM look

    It's great seeing it being re-built, I thought it had long since been destroyed......following with interest.

    Are you installing a different body-kit now or sourcing OE panels?

    OE Panels Simon. Comparing them to the kit I had, they are a work of art!

    Some progress on my track NSX. Flocked dash in, temporary dash panel installed, AIM MXG up and running. Just need to get a couple of oil fittings and then off for mapping.
