Well I was gonna stop working today but I was literally so fed up with the length of the engine covers and trying to get them on and off the car during fit testing the speakers... I ended up trimming them back. Wow, much better. I still may just cut them flush, or actually just short of the rear...

I am glad I sat down and planned it all out first.... Although a few changes were made since, the core design remains intact.

Took a short break to redo the exhaust on my sandrail. Now back to work on the Goblin. I finally got the exhaust bypass actuator button from Granitelli. Not to enthused about the quality, but CAD and a 3D printer can make parts stronger. I made a strain relief for the box/board, and integrated...

Very cool. This is a great idea.

Took the day off yesterday to complete the ram air cooling duct prototype. 29 hour print. Part way in, I noticed that the slicer failed to generate proper supports. Looking over the model, I estimated tthat the base geometry would still print just fine, which it did. Pulled off the finished...

Well, been a longer break from the build than planned, but had to leave town for a course for work, came home and got sick for 2 weeks. I planned to retire next year, but work offered me a big promotion and a pay raise running the safety program, so I guess I will stick around another 4 years...

I have a sh*t ton of stuff to add in here. When I get some time I'll pull the files and upload them.

Really depends on what CAN PID's are included in the CAN data stream and what you plan to add manually, as well as the PID and channel capability of the particular dash. The aeroforce supposedly supports a bunch of PID's, where the AIM (pictured) is somewhat limited by both channels and PID's...

And..... DONE. Print came out pretty clean. Needs a slight amount of post-processing/sanding at the louver ends but overall, great.

Ran a sample scale print in PLA. it fits perfectly. Ran a section sample print in ASA. It fits perfectly and print quality is great. Printing final grille now. Will be a 12 hour print in ASA. Hopefully when I wake up tomorrow I will have a nice new grille waiting on my buildplate.

Still working the CAD for the front grille, but settled on this design for now. I removed the lip trim ring because I think it looks much cleaner without it. I ultimately ended up having to laser scan the lip of the cowling because none of the CAD angles were quite right in my original 3D model...

Havent posted in a while but I've been busy. Front wing is finalized and now has proper support. I redesigned a modified turnbuckle for the front wing support rods I bought. Their engineer said my design wont work but he's wrong. I designed a bracket that goes between the upper shock mount bolt...

Exhaust is fully welded up. Today I made a muffler support bracket that mounts off of the upper flange of the exhaust bracket and bolts to each side of the muffler supports, using some flat steel and some 1" hot roll angle I had laying around. Its pretty solid now. The washer stacks on the...

I made it fit... Thanks again for the recommendation.

I spent about 3 hours on the Summit website last weekend trying to pick the right parts for the new exhaust system. All my exhaust parts came in. I've never done exhaust work in my life so I thought this would be a fun project. I decided on a 3" to 2 1/2" reducer pipe into a Dynomax turbo as...
