Plans still up in the Air but the car is Getting There!

SPOILERS MOUNTED AND READY TO GO





STOPTECH- CHECK



SAFTEY SPARKS










MEASURE TWICE, DRILL ONCE...


FINISHED PRODUCT


Hey everyone I hope you had a great week and a relaxing weekend!

So we've still been working away trying to get this thing all prepped and ready but for the most part it's coming along pretty good I think, there's still a few more things to do before she hits the track!  Iv been weighing out different options as to what I'm gonna do with my tranny and the solution is still kind of up in there but I'll keep you posted cuz I need to figure that out by this week!


Here are just a few pictures of the progress From last week:





I know I keep promising a video of the car but it's been filthy, I'm gonna try and pay my bro a few bucks today and see if I can get it all polished up and take a video later!


We still have a few minor things to take care of such as;
-Bleed the rear brakes/change pads and rotors


-buy and change power steering pump


-adjust the rear suspension


-finish fabricating the seat mount and mount the seat/harness


-paint mount and harness bar


-and last but not least we need to figure out a game plan for the transmission!


I hope and plan to have everything done by the end of the week and then mostly the car will be towed up to my sponsors at Infineon "Works Motorsports" for the removal/ reinstallation of the new tranny once I get it.  After they get the tranny in they'll actually be able to finally get a nice smooth healthy tune out of the car so that will be exciting to see what numbers the cars actually making on paper.. Right now they estimated it to have about 375hp to all 4 wheels but for the class I'm racing next year I'm shooting for closer to 400..  (which is why my tranny decided to quit on me! Lol to much for it to handle!)




I basically have just the rest of this month to get it all ready for the first race in January! I'm hoping that gives me enough time to find sponsors and complete the car so we shall see what kind of miracles and blessings God has up his sleeve! Lol

I also redrew and modified my hand controls on my computer to retro fit them into my car and with them I'll be able to give it throttle, brake, and shift all with both hands still attached to the wheel.  Im suppose to go talk with a race shop this week who also happens to be an aero space engendering shop as well and see if they might be able to help me out! 
Again I appreciate you taking the time to check out my blog and hope everyone has a blessed Sunday!
I'll try and get a video done today if I can talk my bro into washing it! Lol but this week for sure the car should make its full transformation from a daily driver to a championship survivor! Lol

Take it easy friends and Fam!
