Finally street legal and driving around at the end of summer/start of fall. Looking forward to using it a bunch on the street and track this year.

Pump gas tune has a bit more in it and I am debating if I should continue down the path of pump and meth or just use race gas for the all in tune. Thoughts?

Great looking piece. That thing should kill it on the track.

Looks killer, nice job

[digitalsolo]

Yep, bad ass.  I like it.

I'm really looking forward to shaking it down on the track. So many things to evaluate.

At the moment I am looking at tire options. My local supplier is suggesting NT01's in the same size as what I have currently (275/40r/17 front and 315/35r/17 rear). Any thoughts on these tires and those sizes?

what does it weigh?

[Cam_Ron]

2576lbs with a full tank of fuel when I weighed it last. Still more easy weight to come out in the hatch frame and glass.

I have a track day booked in about 3 weeks so there are alot of little details to address.
Here is the plan:

- Revise midpipe for clearance
- Bleed and set brake balance
- Sound deaden interior/ heat barrier interior
- Wire,install and map with new ProEFI H.O. coils
- Oil change, coolant flush, fab overflow canister
- Adjust pedals
- Corner balance


The plan is to prepare it as much as I can for the cars first shake down on the track. I'm sure there will still be things that will need to be addressed though

Track day was a success overall.

 Steering, suspension, brakes, tires, diff and transmission felt great. The car is able to maintain traction around the 550whp mark without much issue.

  The cooling system was not quite up to the task however. After about 7 laps the coolant temp began to rise sharply. To address this, the plan is to experiment a bit with a v mount setup and some ducting. I suspect the issue is lack of airflow and not the capacity of the heat exchanger itself.

   Here are some pictures:

I could see airflow being an issue, I bet that thing was pretty fun on the track

How close together is everything up front?

If you didn't have that t2 hood I'd say you should ventilate it.

[Cam_Ron]

The air gap between the intercooler and radiator was about 20cm.  The bottom of the hood and a panel on the underside between the two heat exchangers were used to direct airflow.

Are your wing mounts that attach the wing upright to the deck made
By voltex?

[largeorangefont]

Yea you need ducting and some hood vents and you'll probably be ok. Looks great out there.

With the front bumper so cut up, you are probably not getting enough air through the radiator at speed. Do you have an undertray? How far back does it go and is it sealed up and ducted to the IC and radiator?

Forced induction track cars can be challenging to keep cool.

[Cam_Ron]

Yes, the uprights for the wing are FC specific and from Voltex.
