  Will be stealing the approach for the boot box! The gap on the underside of the side panels looks similar to what mine was, those rivets really do a lot to pull it flat compared to Clecos

  Hice job Rob!! Why the steering shaft is so long?

• 
  @rob_esser16 күн бұрын

  It's the length that was provided. The pedals to dash offset is not large so I think the long steering column spaces the wheel to pedals correctly.

  Hi Rob I haven't commented in a while but I always find your channel so interesting. Wow with a motorcycle engine is a transmission built in I know this sounds like a silly question I mean I know with a regular car engine you have to get a separate sequential shifter but it seems like with a Hayabusa it's already built in? I know with regular motorcycles you can always switch them over to quick shifting fairly easily. Anyway thank you for the great content I would like to see the car again sometime wow thank you so much for the content.

• 
  @rob_esserАй бұрын

  Hi, Sorry I missed your question. One of the advantages of using a bike engine is that it does have a sequential gearbox as part of it. It will be possible to flat shift up through the gears on the 6 speed gearbox, certainly through the higher gears and maybe with a slight lift of the throttle. There are a couple of wrinkles though. A bike is lighter than a car so the clutch may need to be beefed up and most bikes don't include a reverse gear. The reverse gear problem is solved with a sprocket mounter to the differential flange and a starter motor giving a single speed reverse gear. It will be enough to get out of car parks. You are most welcome to come by to look at the car. Thanks for your comment.

  It certainly doesn't feel that fast. My main concern is with the testing of the wiring harness and having the engine run correctly. Hopefully that will go smoothly. Once that hurdle is overcome it will take a while to complete the bodywork and the finishing details. Thanks for your interest

  Great job there. What kind of gauges are those, who makes them? I'm starting to look into gauges. This weekend I work on the dash hoop (3/4" tube), and another tube, that gives me the bottom of the dash panel frame.

• 
  @rob_esser2 ай бұрын

  The Gauges are the MK branded ones from ETB (www.etbinstruments.com). They are really nice and better quality than the VDO gauges I have in my Caterham. You are making good progress on your car. Please share a video sometime soon!

  It was hard to tell from video, but make sure you add a grounding strap from the brake tee bolt at the rear to the fuel tank filler plate. Also the oil cooler is definitely on the large side, but since oil in the bike does double duty for trans and engine it might not be that overkill. I'd still plumb in a thermostatic bypass now vs after the fact. Progress is looking good!

• 
  @rob_esser3 ай бұрын

  Thanks Will, yes in the video I hadn’t mounted the grounding strap but I did do it off camera. Regarding the oil cooler I’ve just mounted a thermostatic bypass and will plumb it up on the next video. Thanks for your comments!

  is the wiring harness straightforward to get in with the engine already in the car?

• 
  @rob_esser3 ай бұрын

  It's a little difficult. I'm using the bike harness and it is designed to fit around the bike. I need it to spread out a little more so I'm selectively stripping off the tape and conduit covering it so I can change how it bends. You'll see more in the next few videos but it is the part of the build that has me most concerned. Thanks for watching!

  instead of using a marker, i highly recommend something like "Vibra-TITE Viz-Torque", it's some goop that you squeeze a small line dollop where you'd use a marker, and it will harden into a solid slug that will crack if the bolt were to ever loosen. It works way better in dirty environments and won't come off with chemicals (you need to pick it with your fingers). It's also way more visible and surprisingly cheap, and comes in multiple colors. I've been putting that everywhere on my cars. It's also easier to apply in tight spaces.
