Are you going to make your own hoses ? to get the length required
Will measure them and get them made up.
Some things I just don’t do.
You may know this already but i though id point it out, where the hoses comes out of the calipers have a 90 dec bend, so the hose doesn't sit as high, reason being when the axle is back in the car and in the high point after a bump the hose could hit the inner wheel arch

Dave

Thanks already worked that one out.
I’m not using the rubber hoses that came with the Callipers.

Rebuilding the Sprint time taken so far, 111Hrs@15/12/2020
212Hrs @31/12/2021
352 @ 28/11/2022
455Hrs @ 20/10/2023
480Hrs @ 14/03/2024
This is time taken at the Sprint not necessary time worked.

Working on a ratio of just 7Hrs a day not including driving to the Sprint.
That equals to 68 days that doesn’t include weekends.

Bit of fettling today.
Managed to get a bracket to mount the RX8 electronic pedal mounted today.
The pedal looks further away from the brake than it actually is.

Next job is turn this lot into a full engine loom.

Found this Adaptronic pin out for the RX8.
Should make the wiring loom a tiny bit easier to follow.
Shout out to Tuned By Shawn for his hard work.
The idea being stripping the loom to its bare basics so it’s just an engine loom.
I may leave the immobiliser circuit in as it’s an extra security feature.

Petrol tank back from having some mods done.
Internal swirl pot inside the tank now.
Fittings change to AN.
I will eventually cover the tank in Black carpet material to match the boot trims.

I’m slowly taking wires out of the RX8 Fuse/Relay box that I’m not going to use.
So this will then run the engine independently of the Sprint Electrics.
