Not able to complete this project for the 2016 season without making concessions. I did not.

These two sidelined the progress...

Back in the saddle. Should be able to stay on this project through completion now. Fingers crossed.

The wiring...
No I'm not an electrical engineer but it will get the job done. Some redundancy in case of a failure, quick circuit change and back in business.

FAST Throttle body and cold air ducting install. Trying to stack much of the weight on the passenger side of the car to offset driver weight. You will notice the cooling overflow tank tucked in between the strut tower and engine. The P.S. tank will also remain in that area in the stock location.

Here is a special project. Production of my own proprietary 3-piece wheel. Cutting from 6061 t6 Aluminum. Each billet piece weighs 51lbs. before machining. The goal is 9lbs. when complete.
I am having Titanium hardware manufactured for the wheels currently.

The front wheel will be 18x12 and the rear 18x13.5. Using Hoosier A7's 335 & 345 respectively.

Aero work....



Mocking up rear wing before paint.





Angle of attack adjustable.



Yes, I am designing all of these goodies and enjoying every minute. I plan to tunnel the radiator and intake air over the winter.
