New website location
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.

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)
Shug.

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)
Shug.
