1.5 miles is a long race, you never know when you may need a cool beverage to quench your thirst.

Or its for the icebox in the trunk for the Intercooler. I prefer my first idea though.

Just a basic tuning issue.

I guess it'll be taken care of - just to make sure the cats will hold during yearly smog tests... :-)

RecMech

Yes, its the intercooler tank pump. I didn't want to confuse it with the electric water pump.

RecMech

Yeah, more tuning to come. Still breaking (burning) it in!

DOUG @ ECS

Nice build, looking forward to your results at the track!

Seeing a c6 with a chute gets me all kinds of chubbed up

Unreal

What rockers on the all pros?

RecMech

Crower

While I was waiting on some parts I ended up rebuilding and cleaning up the suspension...



After:




Ridetech coilovers:

RecMech

Some of the race car specific items (to meet the rulebook):

Window tabs (4 on windshield, 4 on rear)..



Forming the roof rails...





Chute mount and push bar..



NRG hub and quick release.. Sparco wheel and buttons..

So badass

neverstop

any car with a parachute or pushbar is boner material for sure.

hopefully you get some awesome POV vids of this thing in 1.5 mile run.

RecMech

July 13th cannot get here fast enough!!! Racing in Maine.

Hope to have it back on the dyno in the meantime though.

What's left to do before the race?

RecMech

Mostly little touch up items, plus new chute, side skirts, and maybe a different battery setup. (we are killing the 21lb Braille)

Have new drag radials coming so we can get it on the dyno again and try to get an idea where the power is at. Also need to work on the alarms and safeties in the ProEFI in case something goes wrong.

Then, as long as the chute works, I should be able to see what a full 1.5 mile pull does

schpenxel

You better have some GoPro's in that thing!

jdoyle

is the push bar further back from the chute mount? is that a wheel on the very end of the push bar? it seems to me that the wheel would make it hard to get a grip on the push bar but this car is my first time to see a push bar. id be interested to hear any additional information.

You basically have the exact motor I have. Except I have a 2200r blower.

RecMech

Have one now, working on another.. Also trying to figure out Dashware so I can overlay the cars data, speed, etc on the videos.

RecMech

I had actually planned on the 2200R, but changed to the F1x when we decided to go full race car. I know i am still going to want more though!
You building for the street?
