Esprit GT wing

Next up is the rear wing, with my custom mounts mounted on the outer edge along with the Esprit 1850mm carbon wing.

Running!

Engine all back in, started first time too!!

Aero modifications

Whilst the engine was out I decided to work on the cars aero a little bit. After a bit of deliberation I decided to cut the front fender away behind the front wheels to release pressure build up that would normally occur.

I also openend up the rear quarters as well to match the fronts.

I've also got some new carbon goodies too, I'll get some pics up when I've mounted them!

Rebuild 2012

Well after getting my car back together after the winter I found it wasn't starting from cold very well, and when it did it would only start on one rotor! I was hoping it would just be a plug lead that was not seated but after cranking with the plugs out I found coolant. I did a quick champagne test and I also got many bubbles which concluded my water seals had gone or I had a warped plate. It would hold pressure when cold but as soon as it got warm I would get coolant in the front housing.

I spoke with Jay who agreed the engine would need to come out for a rebuild so I was left with an empty bay for a couple of weeks whilst it was rebuilt. You can see my new front subframe in gold and the new coil relocation bracket I made whilst I could get in there!

I got the engine back a couple of weeks ago, it turns out the front housing was warped! So I got a new one for piece of mind and had it ported out to match the other housing, plus a bit extra on both for good measure!

So I'm almost there putting it all back together, will just need a tweak on the map since I've gone with a parallel fuel setup.
