Thank you. The cold air pipe saves several pounds and the titanium striker plates each save 100 grams.

Robert,

The engine is way too clean. No need to ask what you do with old tooth brushes.

Actually, the engine has never seen a toothbrush!

High Robert

I´ve try to look at your previous posts to see the photos of those carbon fiber parts, but I couldn´t see them, do you make this parts yourself?

They look great, how much did they cost you?

I wish I had an engine as clean as that.

Thanks

Fantastic!

Any chance of a new thread showing all the bits you've shown us over the last year?!

Regards

It would be a rather long thread -- and some on Rennlist might take me to task for doing this.

Robert,

It would also be nice to see a picture of "all" your car rather than just the bits you have changed!

Robert,

Surely you must have a website you've set up to showcase your work? If not, then I can help create one for you.

Andy:

There are a few more parts to finish, e.g., aluminum/titanium/carbon fiber steering rack. carbon fiber oil tank, aluminum engine oil lines, (although not shown, the carbon fiber/titanium suspension components are ready for installation as are the carbon ceramic brakes) etc. As soon as the car is complete, I would be happy to post pictures.

Riccardo:

There is no web site with all of the parts. I am, however, working on one focused on professional racers and high level club sport.

JohnF:

We plan to scan a perfect hood (bonnet) next week. Thereafter, the five-axis milling machine will make the aluminum molds. A completed piece should be ready by the end of May.
