Things are moving along at CIN Motorsports... thought I'd share some pics from the recent trip to VIR

Starts well

Last time anyone will see this particular rear diffuser

Back on track after some quick repairs

And then may day was over... thankfully, the engine is fine and it looks like the car simply overheated and an oil hose disconnected as the car was shutting down. No permanent damage - it's all coming back together as I type

thanks to Photography by F and S Enterprises for these preview pics

Hopefully will hit either ChumpCar or TrackDaze in August at VIR... maybe Chin at RA

Another set of Forgestar wheels on the way... will have 10x10" and 3x11" (one spare) with mix of R6s and NT01s

Going to sell the HRE wheels I bought a while back... didn't clear my rear AP Racing BBK - let me know if interested

Hey Travis, can you post a close up of your Gurney flap on your AeroMotions wing. It's something i want to do to my AM wing. I PM'd you a while back, with no response. It' something I want to do before i run at NOLA Motorsports Park Sept. 24th. Thanks in advance bro. BTW, nasty Z.

Also how you attached it to the wing surface would be greatly appreciated bro. Thanks.

hey travis,

can i get an image of your engine where you deleted the AC? i can't imagine how the belt goes without the AC. or does someone have an drawing for me?

thank you
thomas

Awesome!

How many miles and track days have you had with your under drive pulley?

wstar · 01-21-2013, 08:49 AM

I think he took his off when he started the supercharger project a year ago or so? And then blew an engine, and then started over with another used block. Or something like that

scruffydog · 01-21-2013, 11:33 AM

sorry to hear what happened to your car, hopefully you'll get it up and running soon enough.

travisjb · 01-21-2013, 05:26 PM

thanks, it's running fine now... the ud pulley was not the issue but don't need one with sc setup at all and trying to avoid those given pot'l havoc some suggest

car has been on the track a few times last six months and continuing to refine the sc setup for reliability... not much to report right now, but at some point this spring i will do a refresh pic/video doc of the car... goal for '13 is more seat time... '12 was only 4-5 weekends due to mech issues and a move/job change

wstar · 01-21-2013, 06:59 PM

My '12 was kinda like that too. Here's to more seat time in 2013

98intrigue · 01-21-2013, 09:24 PM

Whatever happened with the engine at Z Fever?

travisjb · 01-22-2013, 08:29 AM

Hey man. The engine problems had nothing to do with z fever, it was an independent mechanic that i used on the other side of FL... Z Fever guys got me going again. Only possibly thing they goofed on was using a baseline tune that did not include SRM, so now that doesn't work - that's my theory anyways.

Not the first car Jnaut had a hand in messing up.

Hey travis, what offset did you use for your square 18x10 setup (they were forgestars, right)? Any rub issues up front, etc?

Mike · 01-23-2013, 09:51 AM

I'll answer for him, +34, because I copied him. No rubbing issues.

MightyBobo · 01-23-2013, 11:03 AM

Here's a question for y'all. I'm going to be running 18x9's square. Obviously I don't want the rear's to look retarded - I'm fairly sure I read about spacers being used by a decent amount of people on here for the rears. Any input on that? I wouldnt be going huge...
