I have the center caps. However the place that did the coating lost the metal clip for one of them. So I cant put them back on unless I want to run only 3 lol. I've given up on them getting me a replacement so I just need to order one myself.

Final version (hopefully) of the gauge bezel is being finished up in a high quality print. Here's some teaser pics I was sent!

Very nice.

ABS or PLA? A little acetone on a rag, then rubbed across the front will really smooth out the surface and remove those lines from the printer.

Pretty cool that you are making your own parts, what CAD program do you use? I need to draw up some new wing supports for my car.

I use Solidworks to draw the parts up. I was thinking of getting some kinda satin black vinyl wrap/sticker kinda material to put over the top. Kinda like how people get the CF vinyl to put on their interior trim, just something like that but satin black to sort of match the other black pieces, seems like it would look good assuming it sticks to this.

It's ABS.

What it'd run?

Slow on updates. My best time of the weekend was 11.1 @ 131mph. That was with a 1.9 60ft. I was spoiled with AWD in the past, so taking me a bit of time to learn how to get this thing out of the hole. But had fun and I'm happy with that for being my first passes in 2yrs, and first ever passes on this new setup.

What seemed to help me was doing a 2nd gear burn-out for ~5sec. Tires were at 14-15psi. I think I need to stay on the anti-lag a little longer, or perhaps raise my launch RPM and that might help me get a better 60'.

The whole family came up too which was really fun. The excitement on my boys faces was priceless. We stayed off site a couple miles away at a private site with a lakeside cabin. I think I will definitely be doing that again in the future!

Overall was a fun weekend. Here's a couple photos as well as a short video of my best pass.

Little video showing my best pass from this weekend. Could have been the worst pass in history, but the excitment on our little boys faces would have still made it all a complete success.

11.10 @ 131mph (1.9 60ft needs some work)
