Sky Render's Build Thread

Here's the review on those Auto Meter gauges. These things are seriously slick. You can use them to output to a data logger (nice) and use them to control things like lights and relays (double nice). So you can use a single sender for both a gauge and data logger (or stand alone ECU), or use that oil temperature gauge to control a fan for an oil cooler...

Time to test out these new brakes...

That does look a good bit cleaner without the sound tube, doesn't it?

Much better.

Yes, yes it does. I really need to get that done on mine--it's way past due.

I've got plenty of large vacuum caps, if you'd like one. They sent me like 15 of the little buggers!

James told me Aerotech isn't shipping manuals with their products anymore. In case anyone needs one, they can be downloaded from Aertoech's website. Select the "CNF" one.

Here's the full review of those DBA rotors and the simply awesome Hawk HPS 5.0 pads.

Nice write up, I really enjoy reading your stuff. I can (and have) spend all day reading about MotoIQ project cars.

Thank you! That really means a lot.

You know MotoIQ was formed by the guys who did Sport Compact Car, right?

Now I know. Makes sense considering the content. So, how'd you get in? SCC as i recall wasn't much about the domestic muscle.

Now off to read the update.

This Mustang was one of the first--if not THE first--domestic project cars.

Is anyone going to Hyper-Fest / Street Driven Tour down at VIR this weekend?

MotoIQ will be hosting a skid pad competition. I'll be helping with that, and Project Mustang will be displayed in our booth!

I'll be there for hpde. Will come by and say hello...

Wish I could bring my son out there to try it in his quarter midget. One of the other kids from our club went down to Road Atlanta last weekend and took everyone to school- he pulled a constant 1.89g's. The nearest competitors were two Exocets (miata kit cars) that were in the 1.4's.

But even if he was allowed, couldn't get the logistics of getting both our cars there and watching an 8 year on a track day...

I will be there as well in hpde 3/4. Parked around the garage area, red f350 with a white enclosed and a orange 05 number 38. Stop by!

 

[Sky Render]

Cool! I don't know yet where the booth is that my Mustang will be; I'll post up here on Saturday.

Mike, what's the difference between 3 and 4? I'm 3 with a checkride, this is my first HPDE with NASA...

So your moving from 2 to 3 after a check ride? 3 and 4 is the same but 4 is mostly reserved for instructors, Its also used if 3 has a overflow. NASA group 3/4 is generally open passing with no point by's so be prepared for that. It seems intimidating at first but i think it works better this way.

Well, this is just great. The Mustang breaks right before I have to leave for Hyper Fest. Anyone have any insight into this weirdness:
