Getting there... it's a bunch of small stuff now that needs to get wrapped up. And a couple big things - engine management, tuning and aero. But it's complete enough that I put it on the scales to see where things stand.

2526lbs is not bad. Interior is complete less the driver's seat, which is 8lbs. Exterior is missing the front and rear aero. I estimated the wing and uprights at 25lbs and the splitter at 10, but I really don't know. The splitter will probably be closer to 5lbs with brackets and struts. There's no muffler or piping. I weighed a spare 3" muffler I had laying around with a section of pipe that is about the right length and it was 15lbs. It's probably two gallons down on fuel, so 12lbs.

That puts it at 2591, which is only a couple pounds over the minimum, so I'll probably need 20lbs of ballast, which is not a bad thing.

Just waiting on my factory computer to get back from having the immobilizer removed and I can fire it up... or try at least.
