Thanks for the compliments guys. No room or plans for a snail anytime soon..lol
Got a couple of things done this weekend.
My rear tires were locking up before the fronts, so i bought this slick little prop valve
I was gonna put it at the MC but it is already a cluster ****, so i made up this little loop section and put it at the ABS
Havent messed with it yet, but hopefully i can get the bias dialed in.
Also i finally remote mounted the coil that didnt fit

So after my first super lap, I came up with a list of stuff to do before the next round:
Before next Superlap:
Oil cooler
Kirkey seat
Roll bar or full cage
Steering rack
Weight of car - corner balance
Cut out cats
Add exhaust hanger and tip
Harness
Traqmate data acquisition
Mount ecu etc.
Clean up wiring in dash/glovebox
Longer term items:
Gas tank and surge tank
Cam/Heads/tune
Diff w/ variable ramp angles
Stiffer spring rates 750F 900R
Wheels
R comps
Learn composites
Splitter
Diffuser
Lexan
Airbox for intake
I've made pretty good progress so far. Went to Nicks place, cut out my cats, did the other exhaust items. The car is exhaust note is still suprisingly mellow. Also got the car on scales for preliminary weights
w/ me in it
After a couple back and forths with Summit, I got all the parts in to remote mount my oil filter and to plumb in this quad pass oil cooler. Its 7" x 21" x 1.75"
My friend Nick (nico.tico) let me borrow his Traqmate data aquasition setup til he gets back from Afghanistan, so i wired that up. I'm really looking forward to using it (hopefully this coming sat).
Decided to strip some more weight out of the car, so i ripped out my headliner, and cut out all of the **** associated with my sunroof. All in all it was around 35 lbs, and from the top of the car too
i made a template and had my buddy Rick cut me an aluminum block off pannel. Riveted it on and sealed it up w some epoxy
pulled my factory seats which were about 40 lbs each.
Went out to Nick's this weekend and started adding weight
seat mount
Rollbar with doorbars. Its welded into the chasis at 9 points. Its 1.75" x .120 wall DOM. I figure with the seat, the and the rollbar, I added about 105 lbs. Im really happy with how it turned out! I'll take some more pics of it later and post em tonight.
Progress has been good so far. Now i just need to add a harness, clean up my mount my ecu, and solve the mytery slip in my steering setup

If you ever want to take a look into a different booster option, I'm rocking the sikky hydroboost setup on my car. I like having power assisted brakes but yours seems to be working pretty well with the wilwood setup.
Sikky also makes a manual brake setup too IIRC.
