Hey! alu-alu or carbon-carbon, hell even carbon-alu can bond together so strongly that the carbon epoxy could splinter or the alu could bend before the bonded joint fails! Pretty impressive stuff!

Honda F1 trans case and control arms with titanium suspension bosses. :thumbsup:

I like Marks mirrors better. :D

Me too :D

:thumbsup: As do I, but in the spirit of engineering within Mark's builds F1 technology does trickle down. Their engineering use to be a dream, now it's obtainable. :yes:

You should consider sponsoring him so we could see what numbers he could post with a 2,500 lb. Gen 1. :rofl:

I used 3M Panel Bonding adhesive. Great stuff easy to use and a long working time. I needed to fill some gaps so it is also fairly thick.
I’m just working on little stuff while the car is at Sled Alley. It all takes time and if I can get some of the small sub-system parts done the assembly will go much faster.

I had a very good friend tell me, if you get one thing done everyday on your project you will finish your car . If it is just ordering a small part it is forward progress. You eat an elephant one bite at a time…..

Mark,

Any more work on your oil tanks and dry sump system. I would love to see how you package everything and see how you are going to make the oil fill and dip stick. Amazing work as usual! It is an art form to see how you engineer a car instead of "just building it". Thanks for sharing some of your knowledge.:thumbsup:

Slick vs Stielow
 

The difference between "slick" and "Stielow"...

I had my stock mirrors dipped in hydro CF for a similar look... but not nearly as sexy as the real deal! :thumbsup:

Some project updates:

Mark modifies the passenger side of the subframe cross member to provide clearance for the AC compressor.

This requires rebuilding the engine mount pad and provides an good opportunity to improve vehicle refinement.
4th gen F-car OE engine mounts are being incorporated to reduce the noise and vibration over the aftermarket poly offerings.

I know it was mentioned somewhere in red devils thread, but what acc drive do you use Mark?
I like the ac compressor tucked underneath as well.
Nice work on the fire wall and oil tank guys. :bow:
