Lol I'll take a drippy oil pan over another toasted engine any day. On a side note, any idea how often I'll be needing to add oil?
Ooh I may have to steal that sticker lol. Definitely agree on the hardtop. Although I don't currently have the points for it, I would LOVEEEE the Spoon hardtop.
Totally agree on the louvres, they definitely feel like solid pieces. Are you planning on doing anything for rain situations? I have some extra alumalite and was considering making some kinda cover for when conditions get rainy and the car is parked.
I'm actually going to be ordering the same hitch setup that Billman used. Love the fact that you can pop the 3 pins easily and remove the whole hitch when on track. And I'll be using the northern trailer as well. It doesn't come totally finished, so I plan to bolt on a piece of plywood and then attach a toolbox, and some sort of retention system for the tires as well. I will be sure to document the whole process.

I check oil constantly. Mine is erratic at best. No consumption for 3/4 sessions then 1/4 to 1/2 qt outta nowhere

I will be sure to document the whole process. Chase Race hitch? I had the Small Fortune Racing hitch. Worked well, but I would go Chase Race if I did it again. I welded uprights on either side of my trailer and ran a pipe through the wheels. Very secure. I'll try and find a picture.
Much appreciate the photo. I like how you made the wheel bar lockable. I'll have to try to incorporate a locking system somehow. Did you use the HF trailer for the base or the Northern Tools one?

This was a heavy duty HF steel trailer. Came with a diamond plate top.
Despite the less than ideal weather conditions we are experiencing today, I received the final shipment to finish up the car.
I picked up the Schroth Profi HANS for the driver side, and the Clubman's for the passenger. Both will be wrapped around the lowered harness bar, and the remaining straps are all snap style.
Probably not expected, but I also picked up a fire extinguisher. Hopefully I never have to use this thing, but in the event that I do it will salvage whatever possible on the car rather than having a total loss.
To complement the SOS clutch, I went with the act 8lb flywheel.
And finally, one of my favorite pieces thus far. These are M&M Honda Racing universal canards. As they are universal, I anticipate they will need some modification to fit the AP1 bumper. The reason I went with these is that I really couldn't find any solid canards for the AP1 bumper, and I can't switch to an AP2 bumper without incurring a penalty. These things are also a lot larger than I thought they would be, so hopefully that means a whole lotta downforce.
Now that I have a mountain of boxes sitting in my living room, time to put it all on! So go away cold weather.
