I was just at the garage unwrapping the last half of the carbon fiber intake, and it turned out great! They're definitely much stiffer than last year's design, and I'm also happy with their weight compared with previous designs. We're going to be putting it all together relatively soon, so we'll be sure to measure the differences in weight.
We also received an update from Chappell with the frame, and it looks great! I've included a before and current picture of the frame+jig, so things are definitely starting to get rolling!

Stay tuned for more updates!
The new intake looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see everything coming together when you're carrying out a project like this, I was doing something similar last year but I had a problem finding the right fasteners. It's easy to overlook some of the smaller details sometimes when you're thinking about the overall structure. In the end, we went with some ejot fasteners, which did the trick. Good luck with your project!
