Here's a few pics of our next project--drysump oiling system. We designed the drive mandrel to utilize three of the six counter-sunk mounting bolts on the ATI super damper. We had one made out of billet steel as well as billet aluminum. But the aluminum piece which we will probably use, should be plenty strong for this application. Now we need to design a billet aluminum mounting bracket for the drysump oil pump to bolt into the factory A/C compressor location.

If we get the car done on time we will try to make it to the last 3 events on the east coast:

July 26th-27th Nashville Super Speedway w/Import Alliance
August 16th-17th Summit Point Raceway
October 3rd-5th Virginia Internation Raceway w/GTLive

See schedule here: http://www.redlinetimeattack.com/index-5.html

Here's the result from last year: http://www.redlinetimeattack.com/summit_results_new.htm

Here's a video from last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPE8W27lRv0

We're still be running the Modified class. This means we're limited to race comp tires (Toyo R888, Nitto Nt01, etc.). If everything goes as plan this season, we may decide to build another tC for the unlimited class for next season, but that's not going to happen unless we get some serious sponsorship. The car we are building right now has been 100% funded by us, PTUNING. Running two tCs isn't going to happen unless we get some corporate funding. The unlimited class is pretty much anything-goes, including running full race slicks, lexan windows, eliminating OEM dash, etc..

We would love to be able to run some events on the West Coast for next season, but again it comes down to the funds.

Here's a few more updated pics of the painted rollcage and dashboard in-place. Now we need to build an aluminum roof.

The only company making a CF roof for the tc is kaminari and we are unable to get a hold of one anytime soon, so instead of sitting around waiting for a roof to fall into our lap, we've decided to build our own. This aluminum roof should be lighter than the CF roof.

Here's a few more pics of our progress on our TA turbo tC:

Driver-side floor pan with integrated dead pedal



Passenger-side floor pan with navigator footrest. The ecu and some of the other electronics are going to be mounted behind the footrest.



Need to fit larger tires for more corner speed? Here we're flaring the factory fenders. We've added about ~20mm.
