Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

Yes Jim, sleeping at the line, my 9.40 was a .68 reaction time. In the final my reaction was 1.4 lol. I have a lot to improve on with pro trees! This is an easy thing to fix.

So what's next with my talon? Well I might as well make the car faster, so I'm going to put it on a diet and set a goal to remove about 150-200lbs! This should make it much faster.

1. First off I'm going to install the light weight STM brakes up front. Un-sprung weight is king!
2. My father in law has a CNC in his garage and is going to scallop and drill rear OEM rotors.
3. Next MAP helped me source some Flex a Lite Lexan molded glass in the rear of the car.
4. I will also put a new fuel cell in the car, going with a 5 gallon model instead of the 16. I typically race with about 8-10 gallons to avoid cavitation on the deceleration, since the tank is only like 10 inches tall.
5. Fuel Lab fixed and upgraded my fuel pump from the 1500hp to the 1800hp version.
6. I have the new upgraded transfer case on the way.
7. I'm going to gut the front doors, remove the carpet, door panels and center console.
8. Over the winter I will take more extreme measures on weight reduction, but still keep it a street capable car!

I’ll take some pics as I go. Should be fun, I will be getting out to the track before the end of the season. Stay tuned!

x2.

I'd like to see it and chat with you a bit.
I've heard the door crash bars are pretty heavy and most of the weight on the hatch is the glass not the hatch itself.

It's a very loose interpretation! The 6266 powered Evo is a true street car with all creature comforts. On the other hand the talon has head lights, turn signals, brake lights, and windshield wipers....”Street Car” right? My wife disagrees though!

It's a good idea. Looks like a serious winter project, seems like a pain in the ass to design and get right.

I like how the pump is mounted right on it. Makes it look simple and clean.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

What's it made out of? Are you going to get it anodized or anything? If it's aluminum I though e98/e85 would eat through it pretty quick?

The plan is to hard anodize the tank. I will show a finished picture next week when it returns. I need to make a change to the pump mount to eliminate the steel PEM studs. I learned that I cannot have it anodized with them installed. I'm going to spin up some aluminum pump mounts on my lathe tomorrow. What’s cool about this project is that going to the aluminum tank alone shaved off 5.2 pounds and changing the way the tank and pump was mounted eliminated another 8.5 pounds. I will also be running 3-5 gallons less fuel when racing, with the old setup I needed to run 8+ gallons so the pump would not cavitate while slowing down at the strip. Bottom line about a total 40 pound total weight savings!
