OOOOPS I did it again...
I did a test day at my local track... and whent off in the gravel again..
It was a chaotic track day and I lost a car in my mirrors. thought he was next to me so did,t turn in. Brakes locked up and there I went .. not too fast but the track had NO margin for errors.
Magaged to drive out but the damage was done..
Managed to salvage most bits
The one-off bumper is being repaired by a frien of mine so its not lost but decided to fabricate my own with these two Time Attack legends in mind:
So... took a OEM bumper I had laying around.. took some cardboard.. measured it up and ordered some aluminium in the right size!
Than fitted the aluminium and made some air holes.
Figuring out how to ma the intercooler duct was a challange, wanted to use as much of the origional aluminium as possible as that gives a nice edge and doesn't require rivuts.
did adjust the hight a little ( look at the different distance between the quick release and the alu edge)
duct done, it sits against the intercooler with a L shaped alu profile and rubber strip.

Its quick release, only need to loostnen the two fastners on the side
Had It wrapped by a friend and fitted some mesh behind the vents.
Test day! Unfortunately I didnt have time to fabricate a splitter. Want to do it right and have it easally removable.
Thi time to Assen, a great track much more forgiving runoffs.
It was a hot day but got a lot of good laps in!
on the trailer with bumper this time!
at the track

took a tent with me as it just gets too hot! had two good friends with me who helped me alot!
This was half way during the day, taking a break and letting the car cool down a bit.

And of the day! bumper was still good! unfortunately the camera didn't work.. next time..
Few problems..
Oil got really hot, 110-120 C. that made my VTEC not engage out of some corners (didn't do this when cold)
Going to fabricate a duct and larger airscoop. Also modify the baffle plate in my oilpan.
bonnet got too hot and started sagging in.. so will fit more vents and strengthen it.
Have tons of other things to do before my next race/test day.
Make a removable front splitter.
Fit the custom all LCA's with kingpin brearings instead of bushings.
lower the streering rods
fit a fire extinguisher system
buils a new oilpan with a different oil return and better baffle
till next time!
