1 : write everything down. 2 : keep your notes somewhere available. 3 : labels could simplify a lot.
It’s far from our normal habit not to label anything, even not updating a wiring scheme is extremely rare. But in this case we managed to create a mystery in the wiring.
We can hardly count the stuff we had to re-do because we were not happy with the result. The switch panel in the middle of the car is again a good example.
In a late phase we discovered we needed 2 extra switches on the panel, one for the EPS and the other one for the launch control setting.
Despite we struggled seriously with our design tool we have decided to build in the displays. We are quite confident about the HW so we are going to take the risk.
We expect to receive a workaround for the tool next week so best case we only have to rebuild the SW and update the update the TFT’s.
Since we bought an US brand adjustable sway bar (Ireland Engineering) all rod ends were imperial threads. Because it’s much more complicated to find here we had foreseen to re-make them in metrical.
So the new one has M10 threads and because the looks are important too, we had them blue anodised.
A very long time ago, when we selected our brakes, we thought it was smart not to make life more complicated then needed by adding an additional unknown variable using exotic brake pads.
Therefor we had chosen blue Pagids, a very safe conservative choice.
A bit comparable with an ordinary grey mouse. But grey mouses do not fit very well with our conceptions and goals.
So we switched to Japanese technology by using Endless brake pads.
Hopefully we can count on endless brake power when in trouble 🙂
What initially looked as an easy task, order 6 additional rims, turned out to be a nightmare.
Some time ago Compomotive was again in a bad shape. Nothing was produced anymore so also no MO5’s available. Almost a year ago they restarted and took the MO5 rim again in production but unfortunately with a slightly different mold.
