Very beautiful carbon hood. What brand is the ps reservoir/coolant catch can? been looking for that style for awhile now.

 

It’s a brand called “Spec-R” ‘from the UK, unfortunately there not availed anymore as the guy who made them has passed away.

Major bummer. Love the quality of the cap and the stand alone mounted look.

 

This thing just keeps going harder and harder! I might have missed it, but at one point, you mentioned going wide-body, did you scrap that or are you still waiting on the kit?

 

Ben, what a brilliant, old school-style forum build thread - love it

 

Few little electrical bits done. I removed the steering lock and key barrel from the car. Now it’s just a simple ignition switch and push button start.

Also did some changes to the battery. Installed a master battery isolater switch & I moved the setup from the boot to my passenger foot well. I changed the battery to a race lithium one, this coupled with the aluminium mounting tray and shortened cable has saved me 13Ib.

So that I wasn’t just removing weight from the back I put the paddle shift air compressor there, which also makes it quieter as it’s in the back now.

Also added the Motec and link comms cables to the bottom carbon dash panel.

It’s 15°F in the evenings here and i swear this has me just wanting to tear into mine to get started on my mods lol

 

Bonnet and subframe turned up.

This bonnet is stupid light, it actually only weighs 6.3Ib

The subframe weighs 25Ib

Fitted the bonnet along with the aerocatches and subframe, re weighed the car and with half a tank of fuel it weighs exactly 2740Ib

Car is seriously light now

Put all my decals on for this years racing, first race weekend coming up.

Benny

 

Racing as great, finished 2nd outright and beat my pb by 2.7 seconds, the gearbox and diffs really are magic.

The car that beat me by 0.3 of a second was a Ls swapped sequential rx7 with aero on slicks and the car that finished 3rd behind me was a 500bhp holden tarana again with aero and slicks.

Pretty stocked with how the weekend went, ill
upload a video of one of my quick laps. A few pics below also.

One of my fastest laps from the weekend.

That bonnet is gorgeous!! Awesome update.

 

So pretty excited, I got accepted to compete in World Time Attack Challenge at Sydney Motorsport Park this September. I’ll be competing in the open class which will be running the Yokohama AO50 as the control tyre.

Benny

 

Ordered some more stuff from Dallas at SSB, some front and rear billet uprights and the rear lower control arms.

With these I’ll be able to properly lower the car with the correct geometry.
