Actually for 5 laps a half 10 bottle sufficed for Cort. Now granted these were short laps but to be honest with the 20 pound bottle (including the amount of silly purging we were all doing for fun) you really good go a good few laps around a large track.

Let's just say version one didn't work. Version 2 kinda sorted did and version 3 is a no go. We're settled on the 2nd one. It's just tough to make it fit correctly, with the right holes for the hinges etc.

Here's a better shot of the Porsche monkeybars (RedC5 got me a monkey but he's not swinging on it in this pic sadly).


On a serious note, as great as this one looks, I've heard that the DAS-Sport one is a slightly more serious one with stronger mounting points for the real racers out there.

a little plastic surgery...

Heya guys,

Just got back from bob's place and we finished up one of the mods that didn't make it in time for the event. Not only does it look bling but it saved some weight...

As soon as it's light I'll take some pix. It's too dark now and the flash on my digi cam isn't working as the batteries are almost flat so I'll have to charge em anyways...

New lightweight BOOTY

Ok folks so this is how we looked during the shoot out, in back up mode:

It wasn't our first choice but we still liked it and it's going to a good home..

This is how we were supposed to look:


Now take a closer look... I smell some carbon fiber on a Porsche


Inside it's also CF, actually a large portion of the whole deck lid is. There's very little fibre glass. The whole thing weighs somewhere in the 20s and is significantly lighter than the stock decklid with motor etc.. that we took off. Not sure how much of a saving but it seemed signficant to Bob and I.

A side shot:


The wing blade is actually adjustable and you can see the hingest (only just) in this shot.


Anyways, with all the groovy Tech Art stuff out there, Kein, Stephen and I figured we'd try something a lil' different

So from San Jose, this is the ghettoshark bringing CF to the Porsche and making it more F&F than necessary but still a little less ghetto (except for the garage that is).

Next up is the nose job.... might be a while yet tho
