Howdy Bryan,

Yes I must admit the hand brake thing is a bit weird.
I would not have installed twin hand brakes as a retro
fit in a finished car, but as there where no brake lines there
it was easy.

I don't believe they will be of any use on a circuit track.
Where they might be of some use is on a couple of Hill climb
tracks I compete at.

if you youtube Collingrove hill climb and Mount Gambier hill climb,
both in South Australia you should be able to pick the corners I am
thinking might be assisted by a hand brake on the inside wheel only.

Next comes the electrics.

Having the front cut of the Honda supplied me with the ECU
and all the wiring looms I could ever need. . . . .

The motor loom was installed untouched from standard.

All the other looms are going to be cut down to the bare minimum. The Dash is the standard S2000 unit.

Before I cut anything out of the looms I wanted to get the "blue bastard" started.

So with the wiring connected but just sitting around I attempted to start the "Blue Bastard".

After THREE full days of the Honda wiring diagrams,

The BLUE BASTARD would fuel prime, the dash would go through
it's start up checks, it would crank but not fire.

Every time I came in from the shed my wife would ask how I was getting on and she received the same answer every time for three days.

THAT BLUE BASTARD WILL NOT START.

The name sort of stuck.

Anyone want to guess what I missed and why it would not start??
