Splitter considerations

There’s got to be a better way to mount this, these. 🤔

Transmission cooling Spring ‘23

Transmission temperatures 2023 are higher(?) than 2022. Quick check on data, ~40F

Floor crack

Battery was mounted so that floor flexed. Cracked fixed and new plate installed.

Wheel stud

First break. Front Left. Happy it was in the garage. Snapped under minimal load, mounting tire.

For the Road Atlanta weekend, we changed the crank case ventilation from the intake manifold to a catch can, Turner’s. It was likely not designed for race use as ~50% of the oil aerosol passed through it and settled throughout the engine bay.

Engine 2.1

Sent the block out to be re-honed. Its condition was good and main bearings look so good they’ll be reused. The pistons have been coated in order to fill the small increase in cylinder bore diameter resulting from the honing.

Another minor casualty

Wheel nuts were not torqued. Fortunately the wheel stayed attached for the few laps of the session. Required replacement of the FR bearing, studs and wheel. May be able to have the wheel repaired.

Transmission Sensor

Had the sensor replaced while the box was out of the car. Before installing the transmission, checked the voltage output on the position sensor. Found this sensor provided reverse from expected. Low gears, higher V steps down as gear position increases.
