I am not sure what happen but two days ago I got the itch and have not stopped since. This year there is a lot of changes in store. The car is going to be about 100 lbs lighter and should be a rocket. With the same power as last year I see no problem with it going quite a bit faster. Instead of making more HP we are looking to free it up.

We will more than likely be running another PTE turbo if not the same one.

The blue fitting is just another vent for the new catch can setup we will be running. Letting the motor breathe from below will also let the oil get back into the pan faster.

James, It still is the same motor from last year. With the aluminum rods in it I decided at the end of the year to send it off to David to have a look. I expected everything to be fine but wanted to check the rods for stretch. When it came a part It looked perfect to me but a second set of eyes is always great.

You don't need it to lock up all 4. Most people just have it lock up the rears. You just need to pre-load the drivetrain, and as long as you can hold back 2 wheels, it should be enough to keep the car planted while you slip the clutch, and put pressure on everything.

If you plan to 60ft the car in the 1.3's consistently and not do FWD burnouts you need to lock all four.. Trust me..

Most setups I have seen lock a front and a rear diagonally.

I will let you guys know how well it works once we know. If it comes out good we will be building a kit and selling it.


Thanks
