Awesome to see this is still progressing.
Keep the updates coming.

Got a clear sight of the rear end, after the dolly was finished and I could turn the car around and away from the wall.
Must say I think it looks nice, and it will be easy r to fabricate the diffuser now and take it outside for some moulds to be made.

Looking amazing, Loving the strut brace. I might need to copy that :thinking:
Epic stuff as always
Matt
Thanks Matt, the strutbrace is made of std gr4 struts, by the way.
Did some little things today.
To prevent the hood to lift in high speed, since it's made of lighter material, I made an little air dam for it, like Zakspeed did.

And planed the route for the dry sump. Had to be creative since there's not good space and it's a bit custom. The feed is level, and that's the important thing. The return is pretty level too. 👍🏻 return on the bottom , dry sump tank will be on the right hand side in the car (I am sitting on the left hand side)

Amazing stuff as always. What racing regs (Class) are you building this for?
Keep up the great work!
Matt
Thanks Matt.
There’s a couple of classes it can be used in here in Norway.
Gt series
Extreme
Time attack
Hill climb
Sweden’s SSK series
Finland’s Special Saloon
At the moment it depends mostly for me what the final weight turns out to be when it is finished.
What class will you drive? And what is the weight on your car race ready? ( whit out driver)

Awesome, thanks for the update.
Shaun
Hey Mate,
It hasn't been weighed yet but I would expect it to be around the 850 - 900kgs mark although i don't weigh that much either! I'm built for speed and not comfort. Lol
The car will be log booked as a sport sedan but I'll mainly just be doing sprint days with the odd motorkhana and maybe a Targa type event in the future.
Cheers,
Matt
very nice
Long time no updates....
Hows it going?
Cheers
Matt
