Sunday was our last full day of work before the start of One Lap. Steve and Chris joined me on Sunday to finish up some of the little things.

Steve worked on completing the installation of the power inverter and we now have 1500W of AC anytime we need it. That's going to come in hand if we ever need a drill or grinder and it allows us to have full AC power in the car so keeping laptops and cell phones charged is going to be a snap.

I pulled the rear shocks and added some stiffness to them. I was happy with how the car handled but you can see on the track that the rear end was bobbing around a bit. It takes 2 full turns to be full stiff and I am at 1.5 turns. I haven't noticed a big difference in how the car handles and I think the ride got a bit better.

Chris is the guy who built the cold air box and we asked him to come by and give us a hand finishing the duct work for the front fascia. We finally sealed in the area around the FMIC and he even cleaned up the brake cooling ducts while he was in there.

When Chris had the front fascia apart I took some time to paint up the trim piece that goes over the bumper. It was in black primer and stuck out in the pictures.

Steve finished up the gauges and wired the AEM into ECMlink so we can log that.

This morning I dropped off some of the tires to be mounted and tomorrow morning I hope to have all 6 of them ready to go.
