Looks great!
How does it feel to drive? Oh wait, it looks like your codriver has to drive it for you. :lol:

How is the power steering pump mounted?

I agree. I think those pedals would get annoying while I was trying to codrive. You should put those controls on the proper side :yay:

Guys the pedals are on the "right" side. The car is very well balanced and a pleasure to drive. When pushed hard it turns in well with a touch of tail out which can be held through the corner. Brakes are 9000 turbo which bolt straight to the late c900 hub. EBC red pads. A mate of mine drove it a said the brakes are better than his full blown gravel evo 6. The power steering pump mount is a mix of c900 and custom on the original engine mount upright. The rack is a c900 with custom mounting in the chassis, just had to trim the ends of the tie rods to get the required toe as the inners are a bit long. Due to the limited suspension travel it would make a great tarmac car but gravel runs in my blood.

I'm digging the fuel rail and injector mounts, did you just chop up and weld a 900 rail, or is there more to it than that?

And where did you find the cool blanking cap for the distributor??!?!

Hey Drew, the fuel rail was a chopped c900. the dist is a mitsubishi with twin pick ups grafted onto the original dizzy base. the cap had the lead outlets cut off, filled with epoxy and painted.

I did a similar dist cap as Ross. Hacked up an old dist cap and epoxied an aluminum sheet on.

Very cool, I'm really digging the modern controls on a B-motor, great work!
