The car should be ready by 21th March, that's when the car has to go to
American car show. So there's only a couple weeks to get the car ready.
A picture of the ready fuel collector tank. It's a smaller tank that comes between the fuel cell and the engine, reducing fuel starvation especially when the fuel level is low.
A closeup of beginning to make the exhaust tubing.
The same part as above, now with tubing extending to the turbocharger.
A picture of the fuel cell and collector tank.
The ready exhaust tube.
The location of the fuel pumps. We use two pumps to deliver fuel from the collector tank to the engine, and a smaller pump to deliver fuel from the fuel cell to the collector tank. The collector tank will be pressurized to 1bar.
The front brakes. Comparison of the old stock disc to the new T4 front disc.
The relays and fuses mounted.
The steering column lock is usually removed in race cars, so we had to find a good place for the startbutton and ignition switch. The six point safety belts made locating the switches a challenge, because you can't reach many of them when the belts are tightened. The fresh air system switch was mounted in the same spot as the startbutton. Blinkers and windshield wipers will be with the stock switches. The light and emergency flascher switches will be in stock locations and you won't need to and won't be able to reach them while driving.
The engine almost ready to start.
