No major updates, but here are some updates.
Last night I went up to the garage to install the radiator fan and and do some weight reduction. Luckily the Pirate Lounge has a lift now, so it did make the job go a lot faster. Started by pulling off the bumper/ lights so that we could cut the bumper, remove the bumper bar, and install the radiator fan. I did find out that the fan really wasn't engineered to be installed after the fact, so I just pulled the radiator and installed it all then slid it back in. I didnt get everything back together yet, but will soon.I will hopefully get a bit more done this weekend and possibly mid next week. |

^I heat it up with a torch, and then cut it with a box knife. I feel that you get cleaner cuts that way.
I wanted to make more flow for the FMIC and will be adding brake ducting this week or next. |

Had my HPDE this last weekend. Car is driving me nuts.
Seems to still overheat even with the new fan/ radiator set up, and I am having issues with the manifold melting the coupler on the intercooler piping. Before Saturday I am planning to fix: New Thermostat Spacers on rear to vent the hood Adjust timing new coupler with home made heat shield ducting/ a block off to direct air at radiator. Here is a video of a lap from Saturday: NASA UTAH Open Track/ HPDE- Brent Cheney - YouTube |

Car looks great love the direction it has gone and will be going! One thing though, why dont you cut off the beam inside the door since you have a nice cage with door bars? Seems like it could save some decent weight.

Well my motor is shot. I ran a 20 minute session without coolant. I am going to sell the kognition wing to help pay for repairs. Lmk if anyone is interested. It is still brand new unopened.

If the car doesnt sell I will just keep building it. I know you never get what you spent on a car out of it, but I am not really trying to sell the car very aggressively either. That talon looks pretty crazy though! |
