Very cool work sir. I'm planning on working with carbon fiber parts in the near future. I'm super excited to watch the build.

Can you tell me any more information about the radiator placement? It looks like it would be really efficient tilting it forward like that. I think the C7 and other race cars do that too.... yeah more info would be good.

thanks. I am hoping to build my car out very similar to Megan Ver. 1 and start tracking her. I think you are doing amazing work with Ver. 2 can't wait to see where she goes.

cool update!
 
I got a new place where to store and work on Megan!
There is a few shop tooling that will be useful this winter ;)

My 2nd working location which is much better than working under a cheap car shelter !!! I hope this will increase my motivation to work on Megan atleast.

A must project that needs to be done ASAP is to relocate the power steering pump where the A/C use to be. I should have the main bracket done tomorrow.

Power Steering pump relocation
 
The main bracket is done. Now I just need to make a belt tensioner which isn't gonna be a hard task!

I keep forgetting I have an HR now because the VHR has an extra idle pulley which would be useful at this moment.
I'm pretty sure I can bolt on the VHR bracket to get that extra idle pulley to have a proper belt engagement on the crank pulley.
Will see tomorrow :rolleyes:

Have you looked into an electric pump or a electric power steering conversion? It might be less of a head ache and being able to shift the weight somewhere else. Plus the reduced drag on the engine.

I did look into an electric solution but this will have to wait due to the cost involved. Not that it cost a lot but I don't have that extra money and making that relocation bracket took me about an hour.

I'm pretty sure the VHR pulley bracket will bolt right on the HR timing cover if it doesn't I will do a part list of that electric solution but this still has to wait for a while !

I think this pulley setup is better than the previous picture I posted. ;)

the double pulley bracket is from the VHR on the HR timing cover.

I received some parts for the new 2014/2015 setup last week and I had some motivation during the weekend to start on the future F/I exhaust.

the driver side is a bit tight with that steering column right in the way which required a bit of work to get it and then the passenger side was quite easier.

the next step tomorrow is to pull the engine to start relocating some piping such as the fuel and power steering pipes and then look for the proper location to drill a 4'' hole into the firewall !!

I wish I could :)
but I would need to learn the area for which streets to use if I get a cop behind ! because it wont be legal to drive by next spring.


edit: also you should see the radiator I got ! it should be interesting. Im modifying it to a 3-pass and its a 2.75''core. 18.5'' x 29'' x 2.875''
