this point, I need to start thinking about when the car will first be ready to turn a wheel in anger. \u00a0The motor is built, but many more pieces need to fall into place before the car is usable. \u00a0I&#8217;ve stripped out most of the interior of the car, replaced the rear finish panel (the one on the car was broken), and pulled everything out of the trunk that I&#8217;m allowed to (since the battery is going in the engine bay). \u00a0Hopefully by the end of this week, I&#8217;ll have the full drivetrain out on the floor, the dash out, and the rear and dash harnesses lightened (removing radio wiring). \u00a0However, I&#8217;m still waiting on a bunch of things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The gearset for the transmission just got to Advanced Autosports late last week. \u00a0He says he&#8217;s going to start on it Wednesday and that I should have that back to me sometime the week of the 20th.<\/li>\n<li>Doug is still getting his shop together, but he can hopefully get the OS Giken installed onto the R\/P and into the pumpkin (and install the ABS rings on the non-ABS axles) by about the same time as the transmission gets here.<\/li>\n<li>Axis Power Racing is currently making me a CF hood which should be done and to me sometime the week of the 20th as well. \u00a0Once that gets here, I&#8217;ll need to get Doug to fabricate 2 hood pin mounts for the rear corners.<\/li>\n<li>Axis Power Racing is also making me 2 seats, which are going to take at least a week longer than that (he&#8217;s still trying to find a new upholsterer), so that date is still completely unknown.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m talking with Axis Power Racing about making some custom CF fenders that are cut out to clear the giant wheels, and to not bother going widebody. \u00a0Date unknown.<\/li>\n<li>I need to figure out a harness solution by the time the seats get here, but I think it&#8217;s just going to be getting two 4-point harnesses and bolting the harnesses to the rear deck. \u00a0This will require more light fab by Doug as well.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve bought some double adjustable custom shocks (and springs) from FatCat Motorsports. \u00a0He&#8217;s not sure exactly when they&#8217;re going to be done, but there&#8217;s a remote possibility it will be ready by early March. \u00a0I also need to buy some spring rubbers from him so that I can tune the spring rates on the fly.<\/li>\n<li>I have no idea when Corky Bell is going to get this manifold done or when he&#8217;s going to even quote me for making the radiator and\/or intercooler.<\/li>\n<li>I have emails out to Ciro Designs and Don Nimi for some more information on availability of some next gen twin element wings. \u00a0When I last talked to both of them (last year), they were hoping to have stuff shipping by March-ish, but who knows how much their goals will have slipped in a couple months.<\/li>\n<li>Given that the motor isn&#8217;t even in the car yet, who knows if I&#8217;ve messed something critical up with the massive wiring harness changes I&#8217;ve made, or with the ABS, so I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s a bunch of teething to go on there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The first event of the year up here is March 11th. \u00a0Looking at the above, if lots of cards fall into place, it&#8217;s a feasible goal to have the car running in basically extended CSP trim in time for that first event of the year and start a bit of teething. \u00a0However, it&#8217;s contingent upon Axis getting me seats in time and FatCat getting me suspension. \u00a0The car can then improve incrementally once it&#8217;s in basic running shape, and hopefully by mid April I&#8217;ll have a supercharger and aero and can start testing the car for real.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this point, I need to start thinking about when the car will first be ready to turn a wheel in anger. \u00a0The motor is built, but many
