Hmmm, if I only had the money...

 

That is huge oil cooler. Looks good!

 

Thats what i was thinking...Haha

 

What an epic thread!!! Your attention to detail is simply amazing, well done. I'm especially happy that all of your hard work is giving you some great results as well, you deserve it

 

^Thanks man!


I ran a local Time Attack event this weekend, it was our annual night event. Arroyo Seco Raceway has zero lights (anywhere) making running in the dark very interesting (I get to pretend I am a badass Le Mans driver running at night ). I took first in class and 1st overall, the car performed amazing with the new AP brakes and carbotech XP-20 pads even on 2 year old crap NT-01 tires. I also had a chance to drive a Tommi Mak Evo 6 on track, it was super nimble and a blast to drive. He is a member on the forum aswell "nudge120"

Cool shot:

 

^great pic, amazing job on the car. BTW what wheel and tire specs are you running, they look like AME's

 

Enkei RPf1's 18x9.5 +15

 

Got my headlight covers from Mullerized performance. The new covers weight 1 lbs 5oz. I figure around a 15-16lbs savings.




You can see I drilled holes for the filter and reenforced the fiberglass tabs (to flimsy for my liking)

 

Headlight covers and car prep is complete, next stop Global Time Attack in Texas next weekend. Wish me luck.

Sidenote I scaled the car yesterday and the pig is down to 2945 with a 1/2 tank of corn juice. Im gonna shoot for 28XX lbs this winter.

 

What other parts do you have in mind to get to your target weight? Good luck on the tt, who is your nearest competition?

 

What is the current weight of the car?

 

Im gonna lighten up the truck (still has all the latches and hinges etc, then attack the car with a hole saw in areas. I also need to look into weight savings with a center member bar, diff hanger and rear lexan.

Thanks, TT has been fun so far. I have placed 2nd in my last 3 TT events (damn comp Viper beats me every time )


Car is 2945 with a 1/2 of fuel (w/o me)

 

Congrats Tim for winning Limited AWD at the global Time Attack in Texas!!

Saw the results on MotoIQ......fast times!

 

Thanks Gordo!

I forgot to post this stuff here:

Well Boys I gave it all I and the car had!!!! The GTA event was an absolute blast and worth every penny and hour spent. The GTA staff put on a amazing time attack event, super fun and very competitive (It maintains the grass root feel of the sport) My only real disappointment was that there was no one in Limited AWD to compete with. My goal of the weekend was to try and hang with the Unlimited AWD guys times, and that proved to be tough. I was seriously under tired to hang with them (Full slicks > NT01's). I drove my heart out trying to improve my times but I couldn't muster a better time. The car ran great all weekend until the 2nd to last TA session when I noticed my car started to lean out really bad, I immediately pulled the car in and parked it. I haven't been able to find any obvious signs to what might be happening, but I am going focus on building the fuel system on the car starting now.

Results?

Well I finished 4th overall and 1st in class (obviously). My goal was to turn a high 38's lap but no dice.
