build diary

August 25, 2004: I've been taking a few days off from the car as you might imagine.
It's been quite a sprint. At the moment, I need to solve the problems with the headlight circuit, an intermittent charging problem and of course the fuel delivery. Last Sunday I took the car out on the interstate and added the need for a wind deflector to my list - it's a little breezy at 80 mph! It's also quite stable which is a relief. The fuel problem started getting worse and worse to the point where the car would not start on Monday morning. That's fine, it made it through the Open House! I'll start by checking out the fuel pressure and working from there.

There are a couple of other builds starting up. As you might have spotted in the guestbook, Heikki Rinta-Koski is starting his buildup with more of a pure track focus. He has his own website up. Lester Seal is also documenting his track-based build. Lester's the one who managed to integrate the modified PPF into his car. Nice work!
