......I am Stoked..!! It is "AMAZING" to see such craftmanship and innovative design... The Euro community as a whole baffle my senses with their incredible sense of direction with build outs but THIS BUILD really is COOL..!! My hat off to you for your time and patience and inviting us into your world since the beginning. This is MY Dream car and will no doubt pop out eye balls where ever you may appear. Beautiful garage setting with everything clean and organized. Beautiful craftmanship and wishing you success on your completion and hope to see you and your "street car" while in Europe next time in 2013..? "Thanks" to you again for your efforts, and for a cerebral awakening/LOL... Dyno Don

Some progress. Windows have been cut (though they will be assembled with chrome trim): [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] Some interior parts: [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] And finally, I fired the engine 2 weeks ago, and earlier this week I ran thru gears on stands and did the first test drive - 10 meters in the garage  [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] Still a few tasks on the ToDo-list before I can take it to dyno, and weather permitting, to a test drive outside. I am not too hopeful about the weather, it is +2C and has been raining a lot, and in northern parts it is already snowing  Jyrki |

My kind of test run! Looks stunning Jyrki. Plastic windows on the street?
Yes, it`s fully legal and certainly a lot better if you ever crash. It takes hours to get rid of all the glass after first getting rid of the bits in your eyes. -BB- |

Nothing beats a garage test run It looks like you will be done for the next Turbo Town Shootout. I am almost certain it will be a really fast race. Need to get some T-shirts ready for the historic event. |

As Kalle said; safety first. Lexan is legal for racing and street here. The windshield is laminated glass though. Jyrki |

Next step was to drive the thing a little more. We got some snow late last week, and the temps were close to zero Celcius, so had to find a place with electricity so I could heat the oil before the test. Without any body over the chassis the police might have some comments if I would drive it around the block?
Loaded the thing on trailer:

Took it to a parking garage, and plugged the oil heater.
[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Then it was time for a cruise. Taking it really easy, just testing that the controls work as they should, and confirming the sensors that are already there are ok. Found out a few issues; first of all the Fuel Pressure Regulator does not raise Fuel Pressure as it builds boost (brand new big Aeromotive FPR). Then the Vertigate needs some more final adjustments. Otherwise it was all good (or as the Slugs say "it didn't burn or anything").

 Hahaha... next step, fit studded snow tires and take it for a drive on the streets. BTW, the Aeromotive regulator probably freezed up... its not built for arctic temperatures  Keep on with the good work Jyrki and I really look forward to seeing you back on the track again. Kjula and Turbo Town Shootout I hope? Best rgs Kalle

I like this line
"Found out a few issues; first of all the Fuel Pressure Regulator does not raise Fuel Pressure as it builds boost (brand new big Aeromotive FPR). " The sound mustīve been awesome in that garage.

that car looks awesome even without the body fitted.
i think you'll need a new speedo though as the 120 km/h one will only be sufficient for garage driving and not street driving as you intend...

There isn't physically room for an alternator in the car (belt-driven by pulley), so in order to secure voltage I have a converter which is fed by the red Optima, and the converter deliveres 15.6V to the electric system. Starter has a dedicated battery, because the converter would be on the limit with the starter's amp draw. I have a plan how to fit an alternator in the car, but let's see first if I could get away without. Jyrki |

I tried running without an alternator on mine,
when i looked at the logs, the voltage used to drop to 9.8v at the top of the RPM scale, then on the drive back to the pits it would come back up to 11.9v
Cars looking awesome!
Well done!

Hi, The converter is supposed to keep voltage at over 15V as long as there is decent supply - the main battery can drop to 10V and the system still has 15V. Let's see if the converter lives up to the promise of the marketing material. I am logging also the supply voltage. Jyrki |

Do you use a 'Kennebell' voltage booster for that Jyrki?
