Default It's Spring time! Time to get on the House Cat again

I can only walk past the House Cat so many times before wanting to start up on it again. So we are. The top issues are completing the brake and fuel lines, modifying the throttle cable, adding the GM sensor for E85, and then working on the intercooler routing and placement. And dozens of other small issues.

While that's happening, the body design for the CFR was released on the website. If you haven't seen it yet, here it is:

This rendering shows a mono posto, while the new roll bar option goes all the way across the cabin.
The fin on the side of the CFR is a barge board. It trains the air exiting the engine to flow back along the body.
The under wing is a more radical rear diffuser setup. It should give more downforce without adding too much of an aero penalty.

Looks sexy as always, except the extra 2 inner taillights.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. They should all be in line.

The renderings show red. Those are actually the back-up lights.

I am disappointed that it replaced my Catfish in your avatar.
