Great progress! If you need parts printed or laser cut, hit me up. Located in Greece, but shipping from here is cheaper than most places.
Oh thank you! I found a "local" place, since I already had the aluminum stock and I'm waiting to get a quote from them, but I might reach out to you soon!
I made this render today. Obviously it's not a professional model, but I couldn't help looking back at my first render from November 22 and comparing it, and I must say I'm pretty happy with how the 3D stuff is coming along. Now I just need to make the real thing 😅
this is insane! Any tracks in the south that you plan on taking it to? Knutstorp, Mantorp, Falkenberg? would be awesome to see and hear.
Bra jobbat
Tack! haha The plan for this season is to drive only with TimeAttackNU, so that will be Gelleråsen, Kinekulle and Mantorp. Maybe you're already joining, but if not and you're curious, they have the schedule up on their website: https://timeattacknu.se
Hey, sorry, the build is in full swing, and I've been meaning to update here for a while, but it's been absolutely hectic. I feel like I always say that, but it's getting progressively more hectic pretty quick lol. I've been posting almost daily on Instagram, but don't always find the time to write a longer update.
There's a lot of stuff happening that I can't quite share yet, but the TL;DR is that the car has to be running in 3 weeks, so the bodywork and aero have taken a back seat for now. The main bits left for the car to run are the intake/intercooler piping, fuel system plumbing and wiring harness. That's a lot, but I have all the parts I need and everything is already in progress, so there's still hope, but it will be VERY tight.
The only part of the bodywork that couldn't wait was the fastback, since the print was too fragile (newbie mistake, the later parts are a lot better) so I needed to finish it in order to get it out of the car to work on the fuel system. I laminated the carbon, and the result is pretty rough, but it's as expected. The plug wasn't great, it made no sense to make a mold, I'll race with this for now, but I'm already planning a V2 done right, with a better plug, proper mold, vacuum bagging, etc. A local company also helped me out with the wing ribs and smaller mounts and got it cut out of carbon, really cool stuff. The wing uprights should get cut this week as well, and I'm finalizing the rear fender flanges so I can get it printed while I focus on the mechanical parts.
I'll try to write a better update soon, but in the mean time here are a few random pictures.
Oh! Also we had a huge car show here in Sweden last weekend, so I had a little side quest and printed this little model to bring since I couldn't bring the real thing:
