My prototype was 1/2" aluminum, hand cut with a jigsaw. The plates I later put into production were CNC cut steel.

Flywheel was welded up and redrilled.

Awesome.

Thanks for taking the time to share this photos.

 

As we all know, the photo process from camera to website, can be rather tedious.

 

No prob!

 

Hopefully providing some inspiration for others with their builds.

 

I know seeing a good build thread gets me pumped for my own projects and gets me coming up with all kinds of ideas.

 

Still got a few more to share, too.

Thought I would do a couple posts on some of the detail mods I did.

 

First was correcting the speedometer. I scanned the stock speedo face and rebuilt it adjusting for the larger tire size I would be running. I work as a graphic designer, so recreating the speedo face on the computer was easy to do.

 

I printed it on heavy stock and then affixed it with double-sided tape to a piece of plastic I cut to size.

While I was at it I upped the redline on the tach for the EJ22 I was dropping in.

This was an early test with the lights on. I think I reprinted them to match the stock orange color a little better soon after. Overall, this was one of my favorite mods on the build.

Don't think I had a trick to it... just chipped it off with a big screwdriver and hammer. Might have buzzed it down with a wire wheel to get the little stuck on bits after. I had a lot more free time in those days. No experience with digi-dashes myself...
