Danzetec Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 You can't box the resistors in otherwise they won't get cooled by the air, you'd have to put in plenty of vent holes or use mesh Looking forward to seeing this done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezmanian devil Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Oh, well that's not very nice, my car hasn't broken (yet lol) lol did a good job of killing the laptop somehow though itl run, one day lol.Thinking of just booking it in to be finished off tbh, Get it running/tuned, sort out throttle cable, clutch cable, and just generaly finish of all the small bits I keep forgetting about, hopfully that way itl get done quicker aswel.
