Sorry for the delay in responding. Other matters had to take precedent for a few weeks.
Summary in no particular order.
Still waiting for certain OE parts that have not been released.
Pulleys
Reviewed all pulley and the only one worth action was the water pulley. Original weight: 583 grams. Weight reduction: approximately 68% but this is rotating weight.
One Piece Forged Magnesium Wheels
Design Underway. Wheels Expected March/April. Color choice will be available.
Rear Engine Lid
Metal tooling for carbon fiber parts complete within one week.
Rear Wing
Metal tooling for carbon fiber parts complete within 10 days.
Side Skirts
Scanning and CAD completed. Expect Metal tooling for carbon fiber parts with 3 weeks.
Front and Rear Facia
Scanning and CAD completed. Expect Metal tooling for carbon fiber parts with 4 weeks.
Brakes
Calipers under review. Lithium aluminum versions by first quarter of next year.
Clutch
Clutch under review. Missing OE component received 10/3. Carbon versions by first quarter of next year.
Titanium Springs
First sets complete.
Oil Tank
Engineering for carbon fiber version begun.
Titanium Trunk Hinges
