I see you have the standard gauges and not a MOTEC/AIM style dash....do you have plans for that? any data logging in the car?

Sorry for the delayed response....been racing ChumpCar all weekend.
So for now I'm just moving over the standard Traqmate system from the 944 Turbo. Hope to have it installed for the race in two weeks, but I'm running out of time. I might go cheap and just add a Traqdash to the existing Traqmate.

Here are a few more pics. Sorry they are relatively low quality, but I really haven't had much access to take pics. Backup set of wheels (silver) installed. Yes, there's a little squigle on the line on the back bumper. It's much less noticable in person

It looks great but you must really like to smoke.
Hasn't NASA banned all tobacco advertising ; )

no problem....racing takes precedent

is there a "hot setup" for data logging on these cars? i.e. something that's cheap and plugs into OBD vs having to do a lengthy install?

Actually, I just really like to drink. It's my understanding that there is no ban on alcohol advertising....

Update...Sorry to revive the old thread, but this is the first time I've had a chance to really get the car into the shop after the initial build.

Thanks to everyone's advice on this thread, we've just finished relocating the Accusump. The shop, RAC Performance, had to get creative with the fuel filter, but did a great job and nice fit in the tunnel. And much safer than my original mount on the cage behind the driver, while also lowering the center of gravity.

We're also adding a GT LSD and dropping 125lbs or so - the driver should drop another 20.

I'm aspiring to mid-pack....

Are you bringing it to TWS for the Feb. DE to test prior to the LSRPCA TWS March CR?

Nope. The work schedule is too hectic these days. I'm hoping to get it out in mid-Feb for a members day at MSR. Only way I would get to TWS other than the CR is if the Patrick Long event came through.
