Agreed but I�m basically twiddling my thumbs until it gets on the dyno for base tune. That thumb-twiddling is taking the form of loving around with bolting stuff into the car, which right now is aero

I do need to build the new fuel system but I don�t want to drop the rear subframe until I know when my dyno slot is going to be. I also have no restraints in the car at the moment because I don�t have a harness bar / cage sorted.

Given the international move in three weeks, it�s pretty unlikely that the car is going to be on the track before the fall. We�ll see though!

Are you going to do two or four on the hood?

Three, I think. The two narrow side louvres and the wide middle one. Plus the two extractors for the fenders.

So, uh. Five, I think. :lol:

Yup. I am choosing to ignore the living gently caress out of that for the moment.

Welp.

We're moving on the 15th, and that has finally become real for me. The car isn't going back on the lift. It needs a lot of off-the-ground work still. Oh well.

I'm still pretty happy with how it looks right now:

True to form it seems that fast cars are always a bit of a b to park/drive slow into tight spaces.

Move went well, thanks.

New digs are a big tighter.

Haven't done anything on the car in awhile, but will be picking tools back up in September. Need to find a local place for dyno work. Seems like I might be able to plate the car here, oddly enough. That could be fun.
