handbrake

Yep that would have been it. We were all down there!

yes the entry form is there now but previously said "coming soon" also nothing about the format of the event, with rules and regulations section still "coming soon"

I'm going to owe the guys a few extra large sized beers when we finish up at WTAC

lol my life is too complex, I wouldnt recommend it I just cant wait to stop building and start driving fingers crossed, hopefully might have it started in the next few days

base of the rear diffuser

modifying the top racing widebody front splitter to be longer. much longer!

Battery. Small and very light

Who you calling fat? Or was that phat?

I can see an entry form but no details for the classes or format on the website. what exactly is the format? or not able to divulge yet?

this is the tank

rear diffuser planning. starting with moulding off the stock pieces

I've got one of those old school terry toweling XXXX bar mats I was thinking of laying across the dash to keep it from cracking in th sun

fuel system and tank

Andrew at custom carbon components. just make sure you allow plenty of time for the job

yes there are weight savings in the carbon dash but the weight savings in terms of bang for your buck are no where near as great as replacing the bonnet/doors etc. we have already picked all the 'low lying fruit' in terms of weight savings

wing being shaped up

I have a set of brand new ccw wheels in 18 inch with same offsets all round. Mounted on re55 rubber, new. Offsets allow wheel rotation. Perfect package except for me as I have widebody kit now and John from ccw screwed up my order. pm if interested. As for rotors go for ap racing slotted and endless mx72 pads for street/track combo. All up this type of setup is around 10k

what is the wing made of/? that is some serious flex

Forums do work sometimes

lol, some of mankind's best work has taken place in sheds. though Luke's fabrication shed (one of the three sheds in the mercury complex) now has a lot of very cool toys at his disposal for these kind of jobs

Hi Eric, yes the wing is massive but it is CFD tested by Scott Beeton. The plates (we will have spares) will be trimmed and tuned at the track test days. the front canards really arent a true representation of what they will look like as they are quite intricate and indeed also quite large. the front carbon bumper is down in sydney with the carbon fabricators getting the pieces made and a fair amount of work will be involved in getting the front wings to secure to the car given the levels of downforce applied to them and the larger front splitter. the exhaust will acually only be a single exit. it is for weight savings and reduced resistance/increased flow
