New 'Momo' Steering Wheel
Posted on: Monday February 2, 2026
I wanted to change up the look of the car a little and decided to go for a wood style steering wheel. Temu who can be a little iffy for quality, had the exact wheel I was looking for for a fraction of the price at $82.34 C. I thought it was worth the try and was surprised at how good it was when it showed up. I already had a black and leather Momo wheel fitted so thought it should be a direct swap, but forgot I hand made the last boss. So I temporarily used the old boss and with the old red...
LED Warning Lights
Posted on: Thursday January 29, 2026
When I made up my custom dash panel a few years ago I had used coloured LED warning lamps for ignition, brake warning, engine warning, and computer fault light.

So the answer was to fit 4 of these 6 ohm bleed resistors. According to the instructions and the way they are finned they can generate quite a lot of heat during...
A New Year
Posted on: Saturday January 3, 2026
Well during the 2025 year the GT6 + has been running flawlessly, and unfortunately I have neglected to write in this journal. However, with winter down time I had compiled a short list of to do chores that have now been completed. So back tracking, here is what I have done: Because I had encountered some tire rubbing going around corners at the rear and to provide a little more ground clearance in general, I removed the 1/2" lowering block I had previously first added to the car upon initial...
Exhaust Pipe Isolation
Posted on: Tuesday December 10, 2024
Previously with the exhaust pipe run to get maximum ground clearance I bolted the exhaust brackets directly to the floor pan. This was far from ideal with the noise and vibration transmitted into the cabin. So today I was sandwiching some rubber bushings to the mounting points to hopefully try and mitigate some of the previous sound and vibration. I guess it will be springtime now before I will know how sucessful this addition was.
