So the 7 is ready to take out to play next weekend. We have our last points event of the season on Saturday. I don't have any points so it doesn't really matter other than a chance to take her out to play.
I haven't changed a great deal since my first outing a couple of months ago, Things I did do
Replaced the crush washers on the turbo lines so it won't spit oil on the course.
Put s belly pan under the motor, so if it does spit oil, it'll stay in the car.
Changed the intercooler plumbing to get it all under the bonnet
connected all of my data logging and sensors for the Digi Dash
set from toe to 0, Set front camber to -2, Set rear toe to -1, Set rear camber to -1
I'm HOPING these will help keep the rear planted a little better when the turbo spools up
bled the brakes and got the front calipers to stop sticking (I hope)
finished the bodywork to it's current state.
The bonnet is an experiment. When I took it out for a drive earlier today the sun reflecting off it was blinding, so back to the house, scuff sanded the bonnet and shot it with aluminum paint. Finished it off with 3 coats of rattle can flat clear. It looks somewhere between dull aluminum and primer now. Went out for another drive and soooo much better.
The hold downs didn't come in this week, so the bonnet is screwed down for now. When the hold downs show up I'll do a little more trimming, fold a flange so it rests on the top rail and snug it up. Until then, this works just fine.
