First 2 layers are laminated, only 750 grams of resin and vacuumed for 2 hrs at half a bar.









Excited to see how the top looks, once the bracing is laminated on, I can release from the mold.

Yes well I finally got the car back from the Dyno --lots of problems

198.8 kW at the wheels---and  dead flat torque of 550 Nm from 3 to 7 k

And yet it's very easy to drive

Next is certification

Cheers

Wow that torque is very impressive,also the power is great.

i doubt you will modify anymore.
Skill is, sucessfully tightrope walking across the Niagra Falls.
Intelligence is, having the sense not to do it.

The problems related to the combined  Nissan crank angle and cam angle sensor running off the cam.

Link in CH CH had to modify the computer to stop misfiring.

The plugs were firing but not necessarily when they should have.

There was a possibility of destroying the motor--

So the shop had it for over a month and were pleased to see me take it away.


It's interesting that although the car has high power and light weight ,it's nothing spectacular.

Driving back to my workshop I was wondering how to give it some real power--yeah right
