update time :
we got the front end all finished and all prettied up
(sorry only pic i have is this ) here is the new frame horn :
also finished an order for some suspension goodies that should be here soon as well as a 25.5 cage , but more on those later.
furthermore, the Speedwire harness came in and man do they do a great job! worth every penny if you ask me !
we placed it on a lexan panel (and covered it with carbon fiber wrap
) - i wonder who's idea this was,,,,,,
and here is the switch panel that came with the kit :
moving on , the PPP shifter was installed ( great peice of harware ):
the plan now is to use the car as much as possible to dial in the suspension and tune , work out more bugs and get the the thing ready for the new engine combo for next year
next up is a set of 2 or maybe 2.25" primary headers for this thing , we might have them made in Qatar by jan. the idea is to have them forward exiting from the fender in front of the front tire .
also need to orde a new radiator to cram up in the fender to replace this little one, the tricky part is selecting one that will work with the current and upcoming combo .
i'll post more info once i get this all worked out

the major peice ( kurt's engine) is almost done too
but other than that , azooooz is just being lazy and not doing anything
who here thinks he should put his current engine back in the car and get some much needed seat time aat the track ??

What's wrong with his old engine? What kind of engine is Kurt building him?
I think you need to kick his butt to get him moving.

and then there was an update
after a loooong wait , its finally here !!! the new F3 procharged engine from kurt urban has arrived (looks familiar?? )
sexy elbow
water vapor thingy
the engine did OK on the dyno , but there was an issue with the F3 head unit that Procharger is aware of - but not providing a solution- where the blower has a serious efficiency problem . all that procharger said was wait till we redesign the impeller blades ,,,,, for the F1 then the F2 and then the F3!! ( if you ask me that sounds like great customer support
)
and the news thats coming from vortechand their 123 headunit is not helping at all.
any how ,we still need to take the thing out of the crate , and start fabricating the headers and coolant lines and a whole list of never ending stuff
another thing that was done to the car during the last few months was that it was stripped down to a bare shell , there is a ton of new stuff piled up for this car including a 25.5 or 25.3 - don't remeber which one -cage , new front/rear suspension , steering , cooling stuff , and a whole bunch of other stuff.
well here is how it looks now
the plan now is to first start in the front then work our way back: so fist up is to fabricate some forward facing headers , front fuel cell, dry sump oil tank mount ,
then tackle the jungle gym roll cage and interior, then finish up the rear with a new ice tank and other stuff
wish us luck
