Well, my digital calipers are not big enough, but I got you pretty close and they won't work for a 257mm rule.

Lucille got to hang out in the sun with my son's 86 :thumbup:

Side note: get the alignment closer to straight before putting fresh slicks on and trying to push it around, otherwise you will hate life and it will feel like pushing a 1 ton truck :slap: As soon as it went back on the lift I corrected that!

Oh, wow, that is kinda surprising. Thank you much :)

I was surprised as well, on a 9.5" rim I bet these clear the 257mm rule same as the RC1, versus the 10".

Profile shot while moving vehicles around. Having had time to set back and look at the car for once from a distance I'm probably going to redesign the wing mounts again and give them and arc that follows the A pillar/roof arc vs the more angular design, should flow with the car a little better I think. That will be at a later time though as I don't feel like throwing more money at that right now!

Slowly chipping away! Diff and trans cooler in final location, rear plumbing in cabin done, fire system is plumbed (i didn't get a complete pick of that for some reason :sigh: ) . Hopefully I can get the hardlines under the car for the accu sump and fuel done this week, waiting on fittings. Coolant hoses are sized and assembled in the engine bay, can't see it but the fire bottle nozzles are in the firewall on each side of the motor, I really like how they go away. I'll get some better pics of the fire system this week.

What kind of switch is that on your Accusump?

It's an electric ball valve. They are a little bigger, but they work better IMO than a solenoid style control (seals better, isn't energized constantly in its open state) now if you want the accusump to have a controlled on/off that's fast then the solenoid is the way to go.

Thanks. Brand?

According to their specs, the flow medium max temperature is 194*. How hot will your oil get? The max ambient temp is 104* so, for me, I probably wouldn't want it on my Accusump under the hood.

Yeah, I wouldn't suggest putting it in the engine bay, I have zero experience with that either, but I do know they work well when inside the car. Normally in the passenger side area or in the trunk.
Oil temps wise I normally see 235* to 250* in the pan and about 20* to 30* less after the cooler at the filter adapter. I know the accusump gets hot enough I don't want to touch it after a race but that's as much data on that standpoint that I have.

Plumbing is coming together, still waiting on some more materials to finalize connections on hoses, insulation wrap and what not but basically, it's all there now.
All of the electronics are now in the car as well other than mounting the rear-view camera. I keep telling myself I'm racing this full season and not just fixing everyone stuff! :lol:

Hard lines will be done in the tunnel once the drivetrain comes back out here probably this weekend.
