Brad,

Your fourth picture of the solid transmission mount looks like it has been cut and doesn't line up. Am I looking at it correctly?

 

[George]

It did not, a newer version is on the way.
Problem solved

Looks good! I think you're one of the few who powdercoated the subframe to match the frame. I like it

 

[JSATX]

What a clean build, it’s nice to have powder coated all the small parts.

 

[George]

Any one have corner weights from when you scaled the car?

End of another week. Not much progress finished hooking up and adjusting items that had been installed. Installed and wired tail lights. Received brake rotors and other items. Mounted two rotors and wheels.

[George]

Any one have the dimensions of the origanal heat exchanger.

Brad

 

[George]

Question to the collective. Thinking about using a 24" x 12" heat exchanger mounter on the rear bar as a whale tail.
it would not function a 100% for either function but might do a good job of cooling and give some down force. Air fences and air dam could be added. also make it adjustable for angle.

[George]

Not much got done this week. Did start the engine fixed a couple of vacuum leaks. Waiting for things to arrive

Brad

 

[George]

Worked on mounting heat exchanger, it is adjustable for angle.

Brad

 

[JeffsGoblin]

That is cool! Nice job! Puts a damper on rear visibility, but thats what side mirrors are for.

I REALLY like that intercooler! I know it may be in the way but this car doesn't have a windshield mounted rear view mirror. I don't normally look over my shoulder as I back trailers and such using only the side mirrors. Where did you get that intercooler, part number? How are you addressing the issue of the cooler being higher than the fill cap?

 

[George]

The heat exchanger is adjustable for angle which also changes the height of the rear edge. I found it on Frozen Boost. About $150.00. The fill will be on the upper cooler inlet
To add air flow a sheet metal fence could be added.

[George]

Set the car on the ground and moved it to the alignment rack. Set the basic alignment. Did some bump and drop test for camber curve and toe curve.
Moved back to jack stands. Worked on installing Aquimist Water Injection

Brad

 

[George]

Received seats, belts and rails.install and adjusted seat belts ( do not like that job).
Install removable steering wheel. Felt the steering wheel was to close so moved it forward 3.75". Like this a lot better. Waiting for radiator and heat exchanger from being coated.

Brad

 

[Waterdriver]

What steering wheel do you have mounted there? Looks nice and thick.

 

[George]

NRG ordered from Andy's Sport ??. It feels very good for grip.

NRG ordered from Andy's Sport ??. It feels very good for grip.

Brad

Does it seem like it will hold up well in the sun and if you get caught in some rain?

 

[George]

I am sure a different style of wheel would holdup better but it is good quality.

Brad

 

[ctuinstra]

Are you doing without the power assist steering?
