[Race_Prep] Never Ending Race Car Build

Just the original alternator. It runs 15-20A under normal driving and 75-80A only at full lock. I’m told the full epas columns are higher.

Driving on track aint normal driving, but indeed lights are off...

I want to do the conversion on the CTI, but can't find a place under the bonnet to mount it...

Like Dr Sarty, my project has also been getting me down. I've made the cage and interior legal, but prepping for paint is a pita. I made the mistake of using grey enamel on the cage etc. many years ago. It hasn't been durable at all. I now want 2K. Most have told me I need to completely strip the enamel. However, I found this great product called HB Body 962 Isolator. I've tested the rear out and it's brilliant. Now the rest of the interior needs isolating, before 2K. Over the weekend I realised the front screen needs to be removed to paint the cage properly. I've decided to admit defeat and pass the job onto a panel shop.

Paint jobs are indeed a pita; my trackday car could use a paint job as well, but switched to one project at the time, else I don't get anything done.
