This is also glued to the outside of the inlet for optimization. but first just start.

From now on just sand it and then it's ready for the painter.

The old ones had too little angle adjustment and are too weak

soon painted in red.

Wow! 

Thanks for sharing. This is one of my favorite builds of all time. I can't believe how much you've kept in-house! 

You've obviously found a great outlet for your obsessive compulsive trait. I hope that this build is bringing in the business you have been hoping it would. It's such a beautiful build.

Is the belly pan required to be flat between the wheel centerlines, allowing no projections, per the rules of the class(es) you will be competing in? 

Are center lock wheels not allowed? 

What series and classes are you building this car for? 

Is Spa one of the tracks that you will be driving on? 

Thanks in advance, for taking the time to answer my nosey questions.

Thank you for your interest and praise. Yes, I have found a way to realize all my wishes and to constantly experience moments of happiness with my own work.

I can't translate question 1 exactly and therefore don't understand you. What do you mean exactly?

2. Rims with central locking would be good. But I haven't bought any new wheel bearings because the current ones are already reinforced and are as good as new. Why should I spend a lot of money again?  SKF offers it, but it's very expensive. And alternatives with adapters are not an option for me.

3. The Spa circuit will be one of the tracks where I will be driving in 2025. From 2024/25 it will be in Anneau du Rhin, Dijon, Hockenheim, Nürburgring GP Circuit, Eurospeedway, Monza, Mugello, Imola, Circuit Paul Ricard, Red Bull Ring, Salzburgring.

That's enough for the next few years.

Hi Matthias, 

Die erste Frage war über die unterseite der Karosserie. Muss das wegen den Regeln flach sein, oder darf mann venturi vor der hinterachse anfangen lassen?

Aerodynamics is not a fixed rule for me. I decide for myself. Basically, the brakes should be ventilated at the front and excess pressure should be drained from the wheel arches. A venturi in the middle of the front is helpful. Ventilation of the exhaust system is important in the middle. At the end, the floor rises by 7-9 degrees at the center axle. This is common with GT vehicles. Ground clearance in general works from less than 4 inches. How well it will work for me, I will analyze with data logging with the linear measuring system on the suspensions, brake pressure, lap times ec. 

Step by step I prepare everything for the wiring harness. I found an optimal place in the engine compartment for separating the wiring harness from the engine. All circuit diagrams are ready. A PD16 still had to be installed. All connections used. The battery pole connections optimized, thicker positive cables laid for more overall load. The material for the cage is complete. Unfortunately, my trusted painter has disappointed me. Things aren't moving forward. So I need a new, reliable painter who can sand and paint all of my unfinished carbon parts.

It's not easy to get to the goal.

GT3. AMG 18x 12 an 13 inch Forged Wheels Center Lock

It is possible to mount these rims on the Corvette. To do this, a few things need to be made. I get these racing rims for 1/3 the price as new. So why not customize it.

As a final step, redo the rear upper arms with Unibal. Then all suspensions are improved.

Problem 153 Tooth / starter motor assembly: 2 inch Kooks manifold
 

The Powermaster starter XS Torque also doesn't fit because there is nothing available for LS engines/
tilton Flywheel 153 tooth 

So create CAD and do it yourself
 

Have you considered something like this? It would move the starter to an area of much less heat exposure.

Could improve serviceability as well. 

Thanks for the tip. I also looked at this variant earlier. unfortunately it doesn't work with my tunnel and the existing coupling. but I have a solution with the starter motor, which is above the pull magnet. This is currently the best solution. Making a new holder is the least of the evils.

This is just not available for LS engines, so I have to make an LS holder myself for the 153 tooth.

Will yours have a similar adjuster, for clocking it?

yes, the setting options are copied. it is therefore marketable if interested.
