Still curious if the canards will work with that nose piece...and how similar a contour that nose is to their other nose piece. That is, would like some myself on the proviso that they fit. Probably need adapting and that might be difficult.

Tony, how much of your suspension setup would fit a 951?

Good lord that puppy is wiiiiiiide.

Are you able to mount a diffuser in the back? Since Tim is doing the custom exhaust with, now would be the time....


Great to see it on the ground.

She's a beaut. I would love to have the time and funds to attempt building a race car...

How come you are allowed to have the two attachment points for the rear body work sticking out like that? They look like terrifying spikes that would potentially impale another driver if hit at the right angle in a crash

It's at Speed Force Racing in San Diego. It took us a couple of weeks to get all the materials to build the headers and exhaust.

They are also plumbing up the engine and trans oil cooler systems as well as the trans oil cooler plenums and ducting.

It will be there another couple of weeks, but I'll post some progress pics along the way.

Tell Tim "hi" from me. I don't think I have seen finer welds anywhere

Will do.

His welds were the best until I saw Vision's welds. I'd have to call it a tie between the two.

BMW (probably still made by Bosch).

It's the BMW unit the race teams are using... what ever that is.
