Modified roadster construction

That's a nice setup.

I want one like that.

I believe the cable drive fuel pump has been widely used in NASCAR and sprint cars for years.

Yep, and we ran them on the indy cars in the 80's too. Allowed you to put the fuel pump anywhere you needed it.

Packaging is one half , the other half is making stuff easer to R & R

That is a very Sano looking fuel pump along with the new cable drive set up

Very clever, I love the ingenuity.
I’ve copied more than a few great ideas from Mike, I’ll archive this one.

Well, we went to El Mirage this weekend to do a check out run before going to Bonneville. Good thing; seems the engine guy needed to work on the tune up a bit. Thanks for the help Jamie.
Should run better next time...   

[Tman]

Car looks great Mike!

[tauruck]

That's one reason why I work so hard at my project!.

That's inspiration.

Thanks Mike. Awesome.

I just wish I could hear it.

[SPARKY]

This is such a nice well thought out car!!!

[Dynoroom]

Tman Thanks!
Mike, we toiled many years to get to this point. You on the other hand are a true craftsman, can't wait to see the finished product.
Sparky, Thanks. If I told you how many hours I sit just looking at the car to figure out how to route or mount something you wouldn't believe me. But just ask my wife.....  

[tauruck]

And there are guys in other industries that call themselves packaging experts!!!.

I know what you mean. You have to be ten steps ahead mentally before building, installing or mounting something.

This is what gives me sleepless nights.

I never knew a car so long could become such a problem.

Working on a better turbo air inlet scoop. Should be ready for Bonneville...

We will be monitoring pressure recovery & compressor inlet temp compared to what we were doing to try and help the charge air. 

[Sumner]

Mike please keep the pictures coming as you make this.  They will help some of the rest of us.

On the temp and pressure are you going to measure that in the scoop before the compressor?  Then also after the compressor and after the intercooler?  We log after the compressor and after the intercoolers,

That’s a clever way to make the scoop, and a nice shape to match. I wish I wasn’t so sensitive to fiberglass; it would make body mods easier.

Oh, and your cooling system works awesome.

Skip

[tauruck]

That's the way to do it.

Nice scoop guys.

Skip, here's a heads up for you.

We're all sensitive to fibreglass.                            It's how you "handle" the pain that seperates us.

I said NO to fibreglass but it wouldn't listen!!!!

I have had good results using the soft green foam that florists use for flower arrangements. It forms very nice just sanding it with your hands.
