We did add one more quart to the system with little change. Using the 40 psi valve. Yes the check valve was installed.

Thanks for the input regarding using Accusump and fuel slosh. How do you plan on addressing the fuel slosh issue?

38bfast · 05-02-2009, 06:46 PM

Per T2 rules there is not anything we can do at this point. Just make sure the car is packed with fuel before it goes out.

Will this pan meet the T2 Rules ... it's the stock Yota pan with baffles and trap doors added??

Here is a fuel tank solution. I could not see how refurbing the tank to stock condition would not be in the SCCA rules.

Fuel cutout solution

Jack. I still have Perry E's old oil pan that I want to have modified just like that picture. Any suggestions on how I can get the same thing fabed up.

I have a baffled / trap door solution for the stock tanks that works fantastic (should be available for every one soon) but it is not allowed in T2.

Same goes with the oil pan we are not allowed to modify it or replace it with a better one.

T2 rules don't allow ANY modifications unless it is stated in the rules. They are very specific on what you can change. For the most part it must remain in stock form. For example we cannot use any aftermarket rotors. They must be OE lotus.

We can petition SCCA to allow the changes but that is a long drawn out process. I guess we need to start now if we want the engine to last. T2 can be challenging that way.

Pictures of Jeff's car at Waterford Hills today. The car is coming along very well and looks great!

Cali · 05-08-2009, 04:54 PM

Awesome! Make us proud!

38bfast · 05-09-2009, 06:33 PM

Thanks Fireball for posting the pic’s.

Jeff put it on pole today. Beat out all the V8s. Q1 was in the rain and the Exige seems to be very good in the rain. Could be that it thinks it’s still in England.

In Race 1 he miss shifted at the start and had one off. I can’t blame Jeff, we have been making so many setup changes to the car, he is never sure what he has under him. Tomorrow should be better.

We are still battling with the soft springs to get the car to react the way we would like it to on the track (T2 rules again). We are testing a lot of setup changes and have a lot more still to try.

Looks fantastic! How did things go on Sunday?
