Fisher Fury R1 Ownership - Jobs To Do

New Tyres

I seem to be forever needing new tyres :-)

Exhaust Side Pod

Need to re-line the exhaust side with heat-reflective mat. One of my temporary ones got a bit too close and damaged the existing matting.

R1 Clocks

Bought some R1 clocks on eBay. I stripped out all the wiring for the clocks when I wired my car up but it is easy to add, as the clocks just require 4 wires from the ECU to work. Have bought the required connector to fit the clocks too. The main reason for doing this is to get the ECU diagnostics codes displayed in case something goes wrong later. Need to do this while it's all working!

Carbon Fibre Dash

My first dash still has various hacks to move the so I need a new one to tidy it all up.

Corner Weighting & Geometry

Now I'm happier with the spring rates, I really need this car set up properly. Will pay a visit to Andy Bates soon.

Pedals

The throttle pedal pivots on a 6mm bolt but I don't like this arrangement. If the bolt is too tight, the throttle is stiff. If not tight enough, the pedal moves from side to side slightly. It's crying out for a quality bearing arrangement. I'm goinjg to fabricate a new pedal myself.

Similarly, the Fisher supplied pedal assembly is low quality. The pedals rattle at certain revs and need to be mounted on bearings. This bit is more complicated but I reckon I can replicate this in aluminium and make sure the pedals are mounted on bearings. Shold be able to save a bit of weight too.

Bonnet Catches

Fit second pair of bonnet catches.

Rear Side Pod Brackets

The rear face of the sidepods need a bracket to stop the top moving about.

Rear Wheel Arch Liners

The rear wheel arches really need some sort of liner to stop grit collecting on top of the side pod.

Oil Level Light

The engine has it's own oil level sensor switch in the sump which is currently not connected. I've got a line of warning LEDs on the dash with a red one ready to connect to this.

Foot Rest

If there is actually room, I need something to the left of the clutch pedal.
