Keyser Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Following on In the normal tradition my family always names my cars and the latest addition has been named - Frogster So first run out on track this Saturday, I thought I'd get a few things ready and see how it goes First job was to get some towing loops fitted for the bits when I don't get it quite right : On the front I have added a bar from the cross member to just behind the grill The back was bolted straight to the tubular chassis Next up was the harnesses, it did have them but I had some better ones but they would not fit neatly on the original mounts so after much discussion and drinking of coffee me and Buster stumbled upon this solution - Made up a bar test fit Happy so welded it hung it for paint bolted it in and hooked up the drivers harness Then the passenger side Keep it Green Edited September 28, 2014 by Keyser 5 Quote
GIXXERUK Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 There is only one colour in you're spectrum ... Green ! Looks great Quote
Keyser Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 Now for the really really important bit - to make her faster and add a few BHP Yes Sticker Bomb time Bonnet Wings And the boot That's her ready for track I also had no head lights an I have started to investigate - Problem 1 The previous owner had an immobilisers fitted and I think they zip tied the wires up after they finished and have managed to pull all the wires off the main/dip beam switch Problem 2 After playing with the now too short wires we found that the switch doesn't work - well it dose not latch so short of driving with your finger on the button not a good solution. I have ordered a new switch and while waiting for that to arrive I have rewired the first switch so I now have side lights and dip beam, good enough for daytime driving on a race track I will update the "interesting" wiring when the switch gets here - although while Matt was here last night we did find out that the horn only works when the lights are off Keepin it Green 3 Quote

Ekona Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 So what engine have you got in this green bad boy? Quote
Keyser Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 So what engine have you got in this green bad boy? Just a little old 998cc 4 banger - nothing to keep up with you big boys on track this Saturday! We will ignore the fact that before the rebuild it was powering a Yamaha R1 and rev's to a little over 12,000rpm and I'm sure Matt will agree after last night that 2nd gear is enough to scare you to death Quote
WhackyWill Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 If interested my mate has a few seriously quick engines he is selling out of his Bikesport car. Car is now sold. Quote

ATTAK Z Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Why have you named your seat belts Luke ? Quote
leonk Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Loving the donut sticker Just concerned it should say "bring more doughnuts" rather than "we have doughnuts"! 1 Quote

This could get embarrassing OK 1. SC 370z 2. N/A 350z Roadster - Mrs Keyser's 3. MNR (Frogster) 4. Micra Junior Keyser's 5. Toyata Hilux Pickup - DD / Work / Towing car trailer to track 6. Vauxhall Astra Van - Hardly ever get near it as my engineer has it 90% of the time (except when it needs fuel ) 7. Vauxhall Astra 1.6 eco thingy - Mums but she doesn't drive anymore so we use it - not my fav!! 8. Mini - Ownership TBC - not on the road waiting to finish the project. Think that's everything I called up to get insurance on the MNR and the guy said do you have access to any other cars? I said Yes 6 - he said No seriously how many 2 Quote
Will370z Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Looking forward to seeing it on Saturday. Hope there's enough leg room in the passenger seat for me Quote
GMballistic Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Any videos of the Frogster on the move Keyser? Bet it sounds good with that bike engine. Quote
