Nice work Steve, so glad to see this coming along after so long.
 
Im not too familiar with the acusump but I do know a lot of competitions have a limit of 0.5 litres of hot liquid permitted in the cabin. Have you got that covered?

12. Have any container within the cockpit which can hold more than 500mL of hot liquid (other than a series heater core) enclosed in a sealed compartment;

A friend had his dry sump in the cabin which was 10 litres so I expect I will be ok. It is well secured so will be ok. 
The car is a getting there but it has been very stressful after the troubles i have shared with you. Thankfully I have made it through the worst of it. CF guy is meeting me tomorrow night.

Intake looks impressive like that.

I know, but it cannot stay like that. It has a intake which will be fitted with a air filter

So I have been spending a lot of my spare time sorting out as much as I can so I can have the car ready for some meets coming up later in the year. I have sent through a payment for a trackday with the Queensland crew on the first week of September so there is plenty of motivation to get the car sorted within the next few weeks. I have also sent a application to the WP Trackday in November. 
There was a lot of work to be done in the cabin which is now almost complete. Accusump system is now operational aside from the wiring for the oil gauge. Anthony who provided most of the great photography at MTC provided the yellow decals which have been a great addition. Really happy with the results. 
The throttle cable has a new mount as the old one was poorly located in 2010. Managed to make this out of Chrome Moly sheet. It's now exactly the way it should have been with perfect control.
Have also embraced the 'nutsert' fittings. They are now being used everywhere including the throttle cable bracket. 
The oil catch can is now relocated to the engine bay along with the gearbox oil cooler relocated to the passenger side intake. 
Hoping for start up by Friday but will have to wait and see if the intake manifold saga is finally resolved.

It's been a long road Steve. You must be getting close though.
Looks the part but I don't see a boost gauge anywhere in sight.
What's the yellow handled lever above the master switch?

Yes it is a long road but I have been in the groove, enjoying nights of fabrication and problem solving. I could spend another 200 hours on it with more and more and more refinements but I will not be trying to squeeze that in just yet. 
The longest road has been the rubbish in contracting out work more so than anything else. That's has been a crap experience I would not recommend to anyone. 
The lever and gauge are for the accsuump. I set the Accusump at 60psi. When I sequence the engine start, I open the accusump valve which primes the engine to decent start up oil pressure via that lever. When Im returning to the pits I close the valve so the pressure is 'up' in the accusump tank before turngin off the engine. This is the closest you will see to a boost gauge!
