clarkspeed Posted August 24, 2025 Author Share Posted August 24, 2025 Got the sensor figured out. It is idling around 130-140 F. Should be OK. I have to post a video. Sorry but I think this thing sounds bad ass. I have an insert in the exhaust so I dont need earplugs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkspeed Posted August 27, 2025 Author Share Posted August 27, 2025 Little safety work ongoing. Finished up the roll bar padding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's looking great....can't wait to see what kind of wild bodywork you have planned for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really the only decisions are if I want to run a cowl induction hood vs. standard no vents. And tall rear 7" spoiler vs whale tail. Input is welcome. Leaning standard hood and big spoiler. Working on mounting these NOW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkspeed Posted September 2, 2025 Author Share Posted September 2, 2025 Finished up the 17x8 wheel conversion on a turbo 280z. Got the geometry perfect. All the TTT suspension parts made it easy. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15JMLRNJpd/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkspeed Posted October 11, 2025 Author Share Posted October 11, 2025 It is just insane how many hours I have put into mounting the hatch. The simple things always take the longest. And I already had brackets fasteners from previous install. Had to fab up my own support strut setup. And I am still fine adjusting the entire thing so someone can remove and install quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkspeed Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Hi everybody, long time for updates. Been quite busy with kids and a very nasty divorce going on. The good news is my garage and cars are still intact and I am still making progress, although very slowly. Car is very close to track testing. I decided to have a new pair of steering arms machined to match the front geometry. I will post more when they are finished. In the interim, I took the time to catch up on some side projects I wanted to do. With the advancement of AI, some of the projects I considered impossible a couple years ago have turned out to be quite easy now and very inexpensive. Based on Arduino technology, I have integrated a motion sensor into my data acquisition system. I use a Race Technology DL1 Club box which is limited to 8 analog sensor inputs, but can decode an almost unlimited amount of CAN signals. So I built a circuit that decodes the motion sensor and outputs a CAN signal. I now have 3-axis roll, pitch, and yaw angles along with speeds and acceleration live data. It will all be packaged in a small box that mounts in the car. Next is a infrared tire temperature monitor. A 16x4 temperature array sensor once again combined with Arduino and CAN output board. I am trying to package this as small as possible so it can be mounted on brackets roughly 4" above the tire. Again real time data of inner, middle, and outer tire temps while driving. Hopefully saves a lot of time when dialing in the camber and pressures. More to come........... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calZ Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The tire temp data is great! That's high level race team stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
