Given that I have exceeded both my bandwith and space allocation on my current provider, I have moved to a more serious host. The new home for ProjectLMP is now

www.projectlmp.com

Still working on getting the page counter to work if you are wondering why it isn't showing.

Cheers Paul, whats your timescale on the bodywork production, or are u still miles away from that

Shug, I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. My plan is to get the car on the track hopefully late next year without the bodywork. I will fit the undertray, splitter and diffuser for this test. Then I will work on the bodywork the next year. Although I have a good idea of how the car will look, I plan on making a scale model to play around with a few styling ideas.

Paul, Rgr that, looking at ur site with interest, I suspected the bodywork would be later next year, but why try and run without it if u are looking for downforce with the body, splitter, diffuser, etc the loads on the suspension geometry will change somewhat when u drop the bodywork on anyway. Or is it rolling chassis -n- engine to see that the suspension geometry is working first? (jesus we know that feeling)

The reason I want to run the car is just to do a basic sanity check of all the major systems. I don't envisage doing any real high speed testing. Having the undertray will at least protect some of the more fragile components (radiators, oil coolers etc) from damage. Plus I may mount some items directly to the undertray.

Paul, we have a few things like the waterpump and fuel pump on the floor, the fuel pump is in a neoprene jacket to reduce the vibration, the Oil cooler on the prototype is floor mounted too, Steve and I have been running the Coram for the last three days with the ZX12 installed which is why I am still grinning like a cheshire cat, you need to speed up production to obtain the same effect Damn while my wife is not looking over my shoulder I can honestly say its better than SEX (maybe just getting too old for that)
