Lots going on in this picture; let's finish the cage details! You can see the down tubes secured to boxed in floor plates. The front tubes extend through the firewall to tie in the front strut towers. The driver interfaces with a Sparco wheel and Tilton triple pedal assembly. In addition the shifter has been repositioned relative to the new seating position. The firewall holes have all been panel welded and closed off. You can also get a glimpse of the driver's display to the right of the steering wheel. The fully loaded car weighs in at 2,780 lbs without the driver. |
Mounted on the closed off firewall you can see the AEM EMS as well as the Autronic 500R 4 channel direct fire capacitor discharge ignition system. You can also see the MilSpec connectors used to route the custom harness through the firewall as well as the fittings for the air-to-water intercoolers the enter the cabin. |
Aside from the boxed in a pillar interface of the cage you can see how the air-to-water IC system enters the cabin. The reservoir for the system was routed as far back as possible to help with weight distribution; just how far back is it? See below… |
The piping carries the hot water back to this 5 gallon reservoir that Tony has been known to sip from between sessions. He drinks from the cold side that is fed to the engine bay mounted air-to-water intercooler by a Rule 3700 gph pump. You can also see the custom harness that provides the pulses to drive the Race Technologies Dash2 system. Also on the same panel as the Race Tech. display is a brake bias adjuster. Below that assortment of relay's is a 3QT Accusump system as well as an Optima Battery mounted behind that. |
If you peak a bit further back you can see the custom 5″ x 12″ swirl pot with -8 supply and -6 return lines. The fuel system huffs the corn fuel via a Walbro 400LPH lift pump and 2 Bosch 044 pressure pumps. I forgot to ask Tony if the car gets miles per gallon or gallons per mile? |
