Some updates:

Shooting in pulley alignment with the Dayco laser alignment tool, you can get the serpentine pulleys right on the money with respect to plane (shaft parallel) and rib alignment. The redline in the middle of the target is the beam and indicates this P/S pulley is aligned and parallel. The laser source (not shown) is mounted on the crank pulley and projects a beam as a line to the target. Dayco is nice enough to provide magnets on the laser and target pieces, but this is not much help with aluminum pulleys. A little clay does the trick. The "vees" of the target center around the serpentine pulley ribs.



Mark did a nice job providing a fore and aft adjustment of the Sanden compressor. This makes it easy to align.


Here is a shot of the rear mounted Holley regulator, it's pressure referenced to vacuum and has the fuel pressure sensor mounted. The MAP sensor is mounted above and to the right.


Here are some shots of the front chassis with the C6 spindles, RS does a nice job with the details such as putting bump stops on the A arms- both directions of travel. This design makes it very easy to adjust camber angle with shims.



Ford 9" with Z06 brakes mocked up. RS does not use tubing (except for some round sections) for their chassis, they make all the rectangular sections from water jet cut flat stock, then TIG weld them into box sections. This get you non-uniform cross sections- thicker where you need strength, thinner where you don't, and no tube crushing in the radii.



Tru-Trac 3.55 mocked up:



Next week the 200 4R goes in:



Here is one of the car, soon to get it's new chassis and motor.
