So I typed up a whole thing, must have taken to long and when I went to
post, it made me reload the page and everything was lost. I'll try to go into
the same detail as before, but we'll see!
It has been some time since I have posted on here and I'd like to start
changing that, since a TON has changed with the vehicle over the years. I
tracked the car for a few years and had a blasted doing so, but everything
must continue to progress!
We planned on running a hall sensor on the cams, but the ProEFI 128 EMS
did not like the setup at all. After talking to a few tuners and ProEFI, we
pulled the EMS system and then planned to go a bit more extreme with the
overall setup. We started by pulling the engine and sending it off the
Mazworx for a check up and some slight changes.
*****After pulling the engine, I picked up a hefty sized pre-preg
foam core carbon fiber diffuser. It was a fairly nice diffuser, but shipping was
a pain to say the least. anyways, a broken end plate had to get replaced and
then the bumper had to be cut up to accept the diffuser. while doing this, I
decided "why not release some air from around the rear wheels". So I cut
the back corners off the car.
*****Then came the bumper cutting
*****Once it was all cut up, I took it over to MA-Motorsports and
asked if Brian could work his magic on making some nice paneling to cover
the holes I created.
*****Prior to taking the car to MA, I ordered a carbon fiber dash
from OCT Composites. Once again the package was delivered damaged and
the dash had several small cracks. Most cracks would get cut off during the
trimming process, but a couple needed epoxy to clean them up.
*****The initial trim was roughly 4 inches off each side and 3 inches
off the front. Obviously a lot more needed to come off, but it allowed up to
actually start marking and measuring how much more.
After cutting off a further 2-3 inches off each side and roughly 4 more inches off the front, it was in an acceptable place.
*****Then, while it was at MA-Motorsports for the rear corners, Brian
also did some razzle dazzle with mounting 4 Mini QuikLatchs to the dash
support and mounted soundly in the car.
I'll post more shortly, but I don't want to lose it all again. I have a ton more
to type and post. thanks for all the love guys!
