Road to a Time Attack Soarer (CFD,Pancakes, Aero, Fabrication, Steaks And More)
Hello Everyone.
I have not posted much here since I dropped this entertaining bombshell https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...made-hood.html
Since then it got hectic with my degree, then jobs, getting married, having a kid, then a second kid...etc. Basically, life took over for a minute.
Nine years later, I'm picking up where I left off. My objective is to develop a time attack car. The car is not street-driven anymore (although it's still registered). My approach is to start from the front and work my way to the back in the development process. I'm going to avoid making compromises regarding street vs track use. If any, the scale will be tipped heavily in favor of track use.
My plan is do a full iteration to address any mechanical modifications related to Engine, Drivetrain, Fuel System...etc. Then, address Suspension and Chassis. And Finally, address my Aero (BIG PLANS HERE).
Here's what the car looked like before; Auto Club Speedway, Fontana
So.... Let's do this...
I've already put the car under the knife and started with:
- Rebuilding the turbo.
- Port matching the exhaust manifold to the head ports (you won't believe how bad the ports were mismatched). I'm going to try to find pictures.
- Welded a 90ish degree elbow to my compressor housing (welding dirty aluminum is a pain..)
I will update as I go.

Damn dude, I've been trying to follow in your footsteps, I just didn't know it yet... Mad respect to you, will follow your thread... Interested in your progress...
Nice, that dirt trapped in between does lead to overheating issues in time.. when throwing parts are it doesn't work, spray it down with some water.. looks good so far.
Is that a custom oil cooler or did you find a kit made for our chassis?
@KiroLS This actually is the Power Steering cooler. I think it was a setrab from Earl's. My Engine Oil cooler is on the driver's side. I'll take a picture when I have a chance.
