Tyre transport frame is a great idea and should be very neat and tidy too.
I'm not so sure about that bloody thing off a scrapped F-111.
Hope it's tied on pretty good !!!
Are there RSJs under the boot lid to dissipate all the downforce ?
Might be a idea to run a bit a fishin line to the wipers so the bloody thing don't lean over backwards.
Yer definitely a innovator Eric.

That is one hell of a wing!

I might have gone a bit big on the end plates - but f*ck it. 



 
Man, you're going to need wheelie bars with that wing...
 
Are the end plates wider than the car? I can imagine track officials may frown at the width, those end plates could cleave someones head clean in two!

Even the neighbours dog is intrigued by it.

Time for another update. 

I was invited by my old university to attend their car club track day early in August. 
I managed to complete the front splitter prior to the event, but I was not comfortable with the structural integrity of the wing at this time. 

I really struggled to lay down a good time for the whole day due to the traffic from the other uni students. This was also a bit of a grudge match, one of the students, Jivan, had purchased 5SGTE's old Mitsubishi Evo. With two sessions to go, Jivan managed to lay down  1.03.06. 

As I entered the last session for the day, currently on a 1.04 lap time, I somehow managed to pull out a 1.03.04 and snag the lead for the day

So, I noted a few things after the event, including camber. my current coilover setup did not have any camber adjustment, so I upgraded to a set of BC's. Nate helped me out with an excellent wheel alignment before the MR2 Super Sprint day. 

The super sprint day was the first oppertunity for me to test out my aero kit. I drove without it for a couple of sessions on the full circuit, then installed the wing for the remainder of the day. 

The difference was very noticeable, and allowed me to carry substantially more corner speed. The cars orientation shifted from oversteer to a slight amount of understeer due to the rear aero bias. This was  preferable for me. 

Overall for the day I managed to do a 1.02.19 which I was very happy with. This was roughly in-line with a group of GT3's and 911RSR's that were out there for the day. 

I'll be doing a few more refinements before I hit Wakefield, but hopefully I'll be closing the gap between Adrian and Admin this time around.

Been a few years. Cars still running sweet. 27 track days and 45'000klms since engine swap.

Just doing maintenance and enjoying it. Have finalised my AC install using a 1gr prado compressor and some custom welded lines. Gas next week.

Also picked up a couple more black hard tops for good measure, and a hoist.
