Thanks for letting us be part of the build process thru your pictures. It was great to watch it come to life. Almost too pretty to race.

Thanks , Gerry mounted the rear tow hook , fabricated new carbon fibre block off plates for the rear bulkhead , did some more wiring cleanup and I redid the trim on the lexan windows for the third time .

Bring both of your GT's. They are both special. Great place to play.

Have not posted in a while , finally received the headlight covers from Sascha , customs issues held them up

Picked up the Hans seat foam kit and OMP seat fabric on Saturday so we will fit the seat to me this week and then send it off to be upholstered .
We have all the Bosch Sport ECU software thanks to Gin at Sakata Motorsport so will get the car on our Dyno this week and then we are pretty well ready to test.

Very nice!

Thanks ,DBK , I was a little worried it might have been damaged , my shipping notification email noted a rip and a dent on the packaging , but Camilo had packaged it up encased in foam board so it was fine .

Finally got the car on the Dyno , would not run under any load , had a lean misfire , turns out the only parts we did not replace in the fuel system , the injectors , were bad.
We were fortunate to have a new set in the shop and once Gerry replaced them it ran great .
Spent the next 6 hours getting the fuel map corrected to run without the inlet restrictor , thanks again to Gerry and Matt for the great job , so just have to get the seat insert done and then it's ready to race.
