What you will find here: Intended to display minor modifications to my Westfield SEi, this blog now witnesses the two year rebuild (and more) after a major crash in October 2011. Have fun and feel free to add a comment at the end of any post.

Grounded

It's time to start with electrics. Cars in general and kitcars especially need a good ground. With a painted chassis and aluminium body panels, a good ground is essential for well functionning electric devices. The engine gets grounded via this copper loop with a paintless spot on the chassis. Some copper paste helps to have less electrical resistance.
Then some planning is required to achieve a neat cabling. I want to hide the wiring as much as possible. Not an easy task with all those sensors spread around the engine. The battery will be replaced by a racing gel battery from Odyssey, the oldfashioned Varta lump only serves as a place holder.
Cheers.
