It has again been awhile since we updated our progress....and this will most likely be the last update prior to unveiling the completed prototype and our scheduled testing.
All of the mechanicals are basically finished and the George Dean prepped GSX-R1000 runs and sounds awesome. We've also mounted the side floors and the rear diffuser and have the radiator and oil cooler in their places. We have some final tweaks to do on the setup pad this afternoon, and then we'll final fit the bodywork and then she'll be ready to load up and go do some testing.
Here's a quick shot showing the rear of the car from the engine back...before we put the floor on.....
The exact exhaust tip location will be modified some once the bodywork is fitted. Also note the rear shocks with the potentiometers mounted.
Here's another of the footbox....
Note the only carbon-fiber part on the car...the cover for the Odyssey battery and the Halon fire bottle. You may also notice that the pedals are way back...vertically challenged driver.
I'll try to have some more details and insert some more images of the complete car (less bodywork) later tonight.
