Looks GREAT... I too like the idea of the canisters on the same side... So simple and great time saver.

Awesome project. Great details and very nicely done.
I am sure a nice chunk of change but worth the enjoyment.
Just a question though? Why not just buy a Cup car and maybe do the fenders if you wished?

or is it just a custom ECU and it has nothing left of what stock car had? if yes, how do you deal with knock detection?

Why not a cup... have one LOL

this is lots of fun building
Tremendous learning also

got to experinece detailed differences from thrashing the machine after every step on the incremental project:
Full suspension
Full cage
Full weight reduction
Wider fronts ( orig +1)
Now even wider fronts and rears together, new aero, etc


Cup would also take a bit of work also to get here, suspension, Chassis, brakes

Very little harness left, lots of work / rework
Just motor control, and thats modified also
Very little original fuction

this should result in a formidable machine that is a privliedge to drive

Hey RWK, are the pics of you on the Hyper at Calabogie? I had a Hyper (sold it last summer for a streetfighter) and have similar looking pics from a Calabogie track day.
Nice bike...bikes...and of course the car!
