Well the holidays were great and we had a really nice family vacation including some decent skiing but strangely enough my car did not work on itself during this time. Hmmm....
So, I'm keeping it at my house for the time being (for several reasons) simply so I can work on it at my convenience. We had a nice week recently so I took advantage of it and get the destruction started.
Couple notes/build specs here:
* Car weighs 2414lbs with 1/2+ fuel but with stock rear decklid/wing (FG lid/wing drops ~25lbs)
* I roughly measured, IIRC, ~48ft of tube, I do not have an estimate of the amount of tubing for the new cage
* New cage will be front tower to rear tower (I am running true coilovers in the rear), pick up diff/subframe, door bar design not completed, will strip the to a bare shell including removing of glass
* AST 4300 triple adjustable remote cannister dampers, Vorshlag CC plates and other bits
* Will utilize lexan front, rear, and side 1/4 windscreens
* Will retain stock doors for this year (they're friggin' heavy even with guts, crash bar, and some sheet metal removed, I'd say 30lbs or so but have not weighed yet, more work to be done on them)
* Aftermarket brake kit (TBA) with Tilton 3 pedal floor mount kit, triple masters, for now I'm keeping the ABS
* Will retain the use of 15" wheels, likely will run DOT for NASA, possibly slicks for BMW CR
* Steering - undecided but not entirely stock
* Custom exhaust
* Engine will remain mostly stock with the exception of the MAXX A/N and GrpA CF intake system
* Seat will be a Recaro SPG Hans, Schroth harnesses
* Lots of misc lightening
That's what comes to mind right now, some changes are likely but I want to keep the design/rebuild as planned.
Some progress photos....
More coming......
