Wow, that makes a big difference! Did you guys just bang out the firewall a bit? Looks awesome! How's the clearance for the radiator area looking now?

Guys, you are welcome to come tomorrow as early as 9am and stay as late as you can.  Rima will be making dinner for us. We really need to get a lot done tomorrow.  I know it seems like we have done a lot, but we have barely scratched the surface and a month has already gone by.

Thank you to the team for coming out and spending your Saturday working on the car.  Most of the Chassis work is completed now with the brakes and front suspension being completed this weekend!

Based on the work I can think of that needs to be completed we have at least 9 or 10 Saturdays of work left to get the car ready to start tuning.

My initial plan for next Saturday 10am to 10pm is below: ( let me know if this works for everyone or if you would rather do something else)

Will: Install water pump and alternator (2 Saturdays)

Don: Rebuild and install brake master, fabricate and install drive shaft

Marcus: Install remote oil filter, oil cooler and oil accumulator (2 Saturdays)

Dondo: Bleed brakes, remove rear speaker brackets, remove jack brackets, remove trans mount brackets, remove all other not needed brackets

Rich: Bleed brakes, fix passenger door, install rear view mirror, install fire extinguisher

Don and I have been talking about  tires a bit and all the research we look at seems to point to running Michelin Pilot Super Sports.  Below is a comparison that Car and driver did on summer performance tires.  The Michelin seems to kick butt in the dry and the wet and they are 300 treadwear so there is a good chance they could last us a whole race. Since I have these tires on my RX7 as is I suggest we just swap them on the race car once it's running and evaluate the tires.
