Woot.. about bloody time :-)  Yep the kit is a B.A.D rev2 Kit I think, the rev 1 had a bigger space before the pop up lights.  Really looking forward in seeing you progress on this.. keep those photos coming :-)

Do tell us what you're intending to do to her? Oh.. and if you need any info on the kit I think Brian from DNA was part of the original design crew.

Haha i got on here in the end Steve we have already removed the tunnel & flat floored it & had to relocate the fuel tank making a new fire wall for it to sit behind its back up & running off the key again:)

Wow.. you are moving fast bud !!

I found a photo for you, it's not of your car but 1 of 3 I think that Evans Motorsport did. From my knowledge (which isn't much) you have a very rare car there..

(http://www.dnaoc.co.uk/360/355.jpg)

Keep them photos coming :-) let me know if I can help in anyway.

Thanks Steve . Hopefully the interior will be all done by the end of January I've managed to find a genuine dash , consoles & all clocks & dials the only thing I'm struggling with is the two side vents for the dash they are wanting arms & legs for the genuine ones???????????? but I'm informed that you have a 3D printer wink wink lol

Post by: CdRsKuLL on January 10, 2016, 12:02:52 PM
You're as bad as JD for taking photos.. I hope you can make better coffee :-)

If you can get me a photo with some sizes then I'll certainly have a go at something for you on my printer not a problem at all. I print in ABS which can be sanded down and painted and does have a bit of flex in it so should be ideal for at least trying something for you.

Post something up and I'll have a go.

Nice to see you on the forum mate, you are cracking on well.
Look forward to seeing the progress on this :)

Post by: CdRsKuLL on January 10, 2016, 05:16:39 PM
Lambos coming on great thanks.  Is your speedo electrical or cable that you are transferring too? The MR2 first came with cable but then later swapped to pulse. Mine is cable but I do have a spare pulse unit that goes in the gearbox if it helps you can have?

I can also help if you need a pulse conversion building device. I've tapped into my pulse which is generated at the rear of my clocks so can read the speed to operate my spoiler / batwings so I've already done some work on it.

Yay a 355, I'll be watching with interest, especially regarding the gauges etc. I have all the OEM vents. ..........Steve if you had the side vents in your hand  would you be able to make copies for Lee?

Good luck Lee

Oh right. Thought there was another 360 out there. Didn't know that was JD's place.
Well Lee, it's about time we had some updated pics, because Alex's car was like that ages ago  ;)

.Steve if you had the side vents in your hand  would you be able to make copies for Lee?

I would be able t draw it up. I should be ok for making the surround and should be able to get the correct bend by heating it up in the oven to about 100 deg's but for the actual working bits I'm not sure.. at least he would have something to plug the hole until he finds some at a reasonable price.

And wow your 355 is going to be something else I've always seen those and seen the MR2 , but there was no sign of that there in your build , it is phat mate :)

Superb! hope you can get those dials working (nobody has got a set working yet, as far as I'm aware). Martyn Lock's BAD F355 is worth looking at (assuming you haven't already done so), kitcar mag appearances and Italian Replica Car club show winner, with full genuine 355 interior

Lovin this, if you get those clocks working I would appreciate it if you could pass on what you did.

Post by: CdRsKuLL on January 19, 2016, 09:46:51 PM
Are the 355 clocks all digital ? As in no speedo cables etc?  It shouldnt be to hard to generate a pulse to get them working. I would use an Arduino to do the conversion for the dials.

Let me know if you need any help.

Title: Re: 355 spider (lee355).
Post by: CdRsKuLL on January 20, 2016, 12:15:30 PM
I would be careful just connecting the wires up and seeing what happens. Generally the fuel / oil temp use a resistive voltage, so say read between 2v and 12v for empty and full (just an example). These can be different per car and may be alot less or more volts.  Normally the Rev / Speedo work off a constant voltage with a variable frequency, which lends itself easily to pulse-width modulation. So you would read the time between each pulse and that would then convert into rpm or mph.  These can differ greatly between cars. On the MR2 the pulse also links into things like the fuel pump (runs at a lower voltage on tick over) and on the ECU it brings in the speed limiter on imports. You will then have all your warning bulbs but they should'nt be that tricky really.

Post by: AIG1355 on January 20, 2016, 01:46:16 PM

Hi,

I'm off to see my car on Monday and take some bits I've purchased to see if these do the trick, as I said on mine tarting up diary, we have a working rev counter (don't know how accurate it is myself) but nothing else so far.

Ive got for the speedo and rev counter (if req) 2 x Jay Car speedo corrector modules which was suggested by Nick355, he has done his own bespoke solution though. Cost about £50 including import duty for the pair.

http://www.jaycar.co.uk/Automotive-%26-Mobile-Security/Car-Electronic-Access-%26-Accessories/Car-Access-Accessories/CORRECTOR-SPEEDO-MODULE/p/AA0376

Nick can't remember exactly but said Rev counter is 2 x and Speedo signal something like 2.4 or 3.4x.

It was Nick who advised Martyn Lock regarding his install.

For the fuel gauge I have got

http://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/electronic-fuel-gauge-matcher

Or something like an 82ohm power resister in series (so Nick355 tells me)

Not sure if the above may also be suitable for the water temp as I am told (Nick again) an instrumentation amplifier with variable gain and offset is required for that and this appears to be such a device.

Cheers

Rich

Post by: AIG1355 on January 20, 2016, 10:51:35 PM
If the Jaycar modules didn't work I was contemplating these

http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=126/prd126.htm

http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=127/category_id=-1/mode=prod/prd127.htm

I don't know how much work it would be for Steve to do something with the Arduino idea or what info he would need, I have no idea what type of signal the MR2 generates or what the F355 gauges are expecting, its all smoke n mirrors to me.

Some great pics there Lee.

I have a question, have you done anything re the HVAC unit?

The guys are struggling relocating this at the moment, seems its either a Head Unit or HVAC unit in the dash, I am wanting the head unit where its supposed to go and maybe hide the HVAC somewhere.

Cheers

Rich
