Thank you

To be honest with you - I do not get much sponsorship, and the ones I have I got after i started racing. So my main sponsor is me

I will try to keep this thread up-to-date, but the main location for progress and team/racing stuff is the team facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/coolcavaracing

Time for another update on winter project work and preparation for the 2012 season...

With all the issues I had with the fuel tank breather system during last season and the fun with getting to the top of the fuel tank, I decided to first relocate the battery away from above the fuel level sender and to rip out the carbon canister and the related stuff.

I also made up a cover to fit over the fuel tank where the battery tray would normally sit, to make sure that the car is still FIA compliant.







Got recommended to pull out the smog pump from the engine bay as well, and at the same time took the opportunity to give the engine a quick clean

More to follow SmileWavy

Another update

Whilst the snow keeps on falling outside, I have been continuing to sort the car out for the coming season...

One issue I had during last season was some rubbing on the rear when going hard round corners. On close inspection I discovered that the rubbing was on the rear arch liners. SO I decided to just remove the liners and be done with it - this also removes some more weight from the car

After having pulled the liners out, I started to consider the air flow that would not go into the rear bumper section and the heat of the muffler - end result, large hole in rear bumper for air flow.
