Mid engine cars can be very difficult to bleed, I fought overheating for months on my FFR818. If you are struggling with overheating even when moving, then this is the most likely issue and where you should place your focus. If you only have overheating issues when sitting still, focus on fans...

Increasing the flow rate will increase the Reynolds number, therefore making the heat transfer more efficient and allowing the same amount of air to carry away more heat. Obviously more air is better than a higher Reynolds number, but the flow rate does help.

I contemplated adding an EWP to mine, ensuring it was located at a low point in the system, to help with priming and getting the air out. I don’t see a downside to having one if you have the space.

Any decent 2K clear that you would put over base should be fine over the epoxy for UV protection.

What is the wheelbase and track width? It looks much smaller than the Ford GT.

Thanks for the feedback, that is exactly who I was leaning towards so I feel better now.

Do you have access to a laser cutter, or do you use a service? I’m looking for an online service so it would be great if you had a recommendation. I also have been 3D printing mine to ensure they are ready to cut.

I did mechanical linkage for my 818, if you go that route I can share some lessons learned.

Looks like the are trying to kill the engine if it is idling that low while hot.

I'm using the Tesla caliper, but instead of an off the shelf controller, I'm using an arduino. The benefit here is I read the vehicle speed from the ECU and can vary the brake pressure based on speed, allowing me to use the electric caliper as an emergency brake as well as a parking brake.

All of the telemarketer calls I get are from spoofed numbers that actually belong to real people that you will be terrorizing if you do this.

I’m not surprised you had to modify the file for your mirrors, in fact I’m surprised they worked at all. Those look like a different model mirror than what I developed the file with for Rufus’ car. Those are much taller. Glad you were able to make them work.

Open the pictures on your ipad, rotate them 90 degrees, save them. Then open and rotate back and save again. That will fix them.

Have you put manifold gauges on and checked your high side / low side pressures?

Quadruple check that the heater valve isn't pumping hot water through the core while you are trying to cool. Sounds elementary, but it can happen
