Round numbers, but you get the idea - figure a 3000lb SLC with a 40/60 split gives 1200/1800 front to rear. To make that 50/50 you’d have to add 600 lbs to the front end.

TBH Mesa - I HATE that wheel style .. but for whatever reason it looks really good on your car! Gives it a weirdly retro-futuristic look, something that would fit well in Back to the Future 2.

hah - I haven’t had much time to do anything these days. New job and relocation in the works with C19 shenanigans all thrown in has made my days completely bonkers. I did do a short parade thing with my father in law last weekend but there wasn’t an opportunity to get any video. I’ll probably...

My tuner said he felt the MAF sensor was located too close to the air filter and that there was too much turbulence. He said it was better to sacrifice the 10” recommendation and put it closer to ensure more consistent airflow numbers. It helped to clean up my hunting throttle.

Side shot roller looks so badass! I may be the sole dissenter here but the no-wing-race-tail look is starting to grow on me. I think I’m going to try it out for a while this summer.

Great stuff, congrats Johan! Car is looking beautiful, especially love the new McLaren style bonnet treatment!

Congrats Johan!

Too many days since your last post, where them pics?!

Sorry Kurt, I'm way behind on following everyone's build - congrats on receiving the car and getting to work! Love the carbon work and printed covers! I've been playing with ideas on how to make a set of covers and haven't landed on something I like just yet, yours are providing me with some...

Kurt - I highly recommend taking a second look at the Dirty Dingo AC mount; it makes changing the belt a 5-minute job. Details here on my blog: https://socalslc.com/2018/06/15/40-getting-dirty-with-the-dingo/

I got one of these Mark - https://www.iimuch.com/collections/fuel-differential-vents/products/fuelvent2dm Coupled with a roll-over valve. This system allows the tank to vent to atmosphere and doesn't require a vacuum source. I haven't hooked it up yet to see how effective it is at catching...

Joel - what ride height are you taking those measurements at? I had some poke as well at 0-deg camber/4" front ride height, I run 275 Supersports (non run flat). I'm currently running 4.5" front ride height with ~-2deg camber with the 19" CF10 front wheel. The tuck looks great with this setup...

Haven’t had a chance to catch up with build threads, looking great Johan! Good idea on the banjo boot solution, cleaner than the piece-meal version that is typical. power brakes is one of those things I keep going back and forth on. When I drive the car I don’t find I need it. Not sure if I...

Great job on the EPB install Johan! I'm pretty far behind on my own setup but I'm glad to hear everything is working well. I really like Jon's solution with the button; it has great visual indicators to let you know status of the brakes. Did you run your wire down the center tunnel and into...

Your pumps are located higher than their pick-up points coming from the main tank and the surge tank. These pumps generally like a little bit of head pressure otherwise there's risk of cavitation/overheating. Once the fuel level in your main tank falls below your low pressure pump it's going...

Really love the look!

Get some rubber trim from McMaster and glue in place. https://www.mcmaster.com/rubber-trim This is how the hole is finished on my Tillett B5 seats.

I didn’t need to modify my ball joints

Hey Johan, I’m still playing with the caliper bracket, trying to get the caliper located just right. However, I don’t need to run a spacer between the caliper halves to fit over the stock rotor width. I’m on holidays but when I get back I’ll measure the pad to pad separation to inform what the...

Their dip dissolver works really well too, not sure how it compares to goo gone but the dissolver is great stuff! A few pics of it in action here: https://socalslc.com/2019/09/06/70-the-emperors-new-clothes/
