A finished wheel. FEA tested.

18 x 13.5 w/ A6 335 = 50lbs
18 x 12 w/ A6 285 = 46lbs

Rough numbers with crappy scale.

Are you really going to hit cones with this car? It would be a crying shame to wack a cone with that front bodywork. So pretty.

And it's done!!!
















My next post will be a link to video at idle.

I am. That is why it was built my friend! With my driving it's bound to be jacked up. LOL

Your complement is appreciated.

What is final weight?

kniners

Haven't had it on scales yet, or done any suspension setup. My feeling is I'm under minimum(2250# for me), time will tell.

So when is my codrive?

Can't wait to see video of it in action.

Well, it will win a trophy for looks. I now have to wait until spring to see if it will win a race. I was able to touch the pedal on the way back to the trailer...this thing is a complete MONSTER.

Just beautiful. Now go get it dirty!

So...
Unfortunately, one of the CNC heads I used on this engine had a flaw in the casting. A puddle of coolant was forming in one of the plug bores under no pressure. Thankfully it was on the outside of the plug threads and noticeable. A cm down the plug threads and I may not have discovered the issue.
Texas Speed & Performance was great in resolving the issue. Replacing the head, gasket, and bolts(TQ to yield).











and done.

A few weeks ago I posted a small build thread on GRM's web forum. Ed Higginbotham(now one of my favorite people)noticed and decided to feature it, very cool.
