I currently have Hankook R-S3 255/45/17 under there, but they run more like 265's. I think that 255 is the max "comfortable" size, before I have to raise it, or run crazy camber to make it work.

I have to do a corner balance soon. Right now I'm at around -2 degrees in the back, but I want to try and get that back to -1.5. I have adjustable lateral links, so we'll see how it turns out. All I know is that 255 is a lot of tire, especially from the 235's I was used to.

Have you had any issues with the accusump ? Im considering installing the same set-up.
How much boost are you running ?

leonbmx · 06-11-2012, 11:24 AM

No issues at all, works like a charm, turn the key one click, it primes the engine, start the car and it refills itself. Then when you are driving, as soon as the oil pressure goes below 50 PSi, it starts supplementing the oil pump. Sure, it was more money, but I love the electric and pressure valve, no cables to forget to pull, just a nice seemless integration.

I run around 25 PSi of boost.

mad props!!

alcoolaid · 06-25-2012, 06:34 PM

Oh snap, starting to cut the chassis up. I have some catching up to do

leonbmx · 06-27-2012, 02:52 PM

Progress! The engine bay is as good as done, all I need to do is clean it up a bit and then we's in business. Now the wait is for the harness for the Vi-Pec V88 and then we can get this thing on the road again!

russgt · 06-27-2012, 10:27 PM

Whats the conector in the top rad hose?

It's the sensor for my Defi water temp gauge.

That's a random spot for a horn

leonbmx · 06-28-2012, 01:19 AM

Interior updates!

My stereo replaced with a real carbon fiber plate, courtesy or Steve at Aerosim Research. Fire suppression puller, killswitch, defi link pod and toggle for accusump.

Rear view, all cleaned up! The Oswald Performance Brace fits like a charm!

My cute little 11lbs friend

Aquamist HFS-4 in a howerton 2 tank enclosure, ESS 5L Fire Suppression System and a 2qt Accusump with electronic valve and 55 PSi pressure switch.

haha, I know, but I removed the stock horn, and these were already wired up... I would have left them in the grill area, but I installed a power steering cooler and I was worried that all that stuff in front of the radiator would affect my cooling.

alcoolaid · 06-28-2012, 02:31 AM

Leon, you're going to run out of meth with only 2x 1 gallon tanks! haha 20 mins on the track and it's most likely empty

And70 · 06-28-2012, 07:01 AM

Good thing sessions are that long

Besides, I am a poosey, so most likely the meth will never even spray, haha!

On a side note, I just bought 4 used Hoosiers A6's 255/35R18 for $25 per tire!!

Ha, I wish! I am still waiting for my Vi-Pec V88 harness to show up, and next week I am going to The Netherlands for work for 8 weeks, so there goes summer, well ours anyways, haha!

alcoolaid · 06-28-2012, 09:05 PM

Looks like no more track days for you then

russgt · 06-28-2012, 09:41 PM

Man I love it!

Where did you get the rear half cage? Or is it just one of those harness bars?

Half cage, or roll bar, is from autopower, and it's a simple bolt in one. Full FIA spec cage coming this winter

Winter lapping is cool too... pun intended...

I just picked up a set of 50% thread Hoosier A6's, they work at near freezing temps, riiiight??

PSBeachBum · 06-30-2012, 12:51 AM

Someone owes me a new pair of underwear

Ultra85 · 06-30-2012, 02:20 PM

Very thorough build. Doesn't look like you missed anything. Congrats on a job well done man. Now can we see some track vids?!

binjoau · 06-30-2012, 05:33 PM

Great project it looks fantastic IMO, hopefully Dave casn take me for a ride in it!

leonbmx · 07-01-2012, 02:16 AM

Last day I could work on the car for a while, so I tried to button up as much as I could.

First we started with the rear skirt/ apron/ whatever it's called. This piece is supposed to fit on a sedan bumper, but since I have a hybrid of sorts, we had to massage it a bit to fit. It's still not perfect, but it is what it is for now... after all, Race car, haha! the fasteners will all be stainless buttonhead's that I will paint black, but these allenheads were all we had in the length we needed...

Then we spent a little time on installing the sideskirts, which i forgot to take pics of, but they look amazing!

And finally, we started on the front under aero. I only have to add a few fasteners in the middle, but other than that, it's done. Super happy with how it worked out!!
Now I can run the aluminum plate for on the road, as a sacrificial layer for my carbon fiber bumper/ lip. And then for the track I have my fancy carbon fiber front splitter, that uses the same hole pattern as the aluminum plate to attach to the car.
