But it dropped down after the engine started. Might have been old data stored in the register(s) of the ECM

The ECU config doesn't load until you cycle the key. Until then things are in an indeterminate state

Got some work done today. I made a couple bosses to mount my splitter support rods to the splitter.
I took an idea from Robert Thorne's SSM car to use gas struts to support the splitter, so it can deflect upwards when it hits the ground. The bosses above mate to a pair of clevises which screw to the struts. I made a tab out of some box section steel and welded it to the crash bar. The cylinders are extended using chromoly rods that I tapped and threaded to a rod end. With the cylinders extended the splitter is level with the ground and easily supports my weight. Each side can compress individually without binding up. The rear of the splitter is mounted to the subframe in a way that it can pivot. I also finally got around to making misalignment spacers for the rear sway bar end links. I did a rough cut-out of the air dam but haven't started riveting it to the splitter. I ended up using some conveyor belt material I got from McMaster. It's a little more rigid than I hoped it would be, but it's also super cold out today so maybe it'll get a little more pliable. I still have some engine bay clean-up to do and the final wrapping of the harness, but it really runs sweet with the Haltech, after just a bit of closed-loop O2 learning. The cooling system also bled itself while I sat here and let it idle. Fans kicked on as expected. Oil pressure and temperature are good and no odd noises yet . I need to make a clutch stop so I don't over-travel the twin-disc clutch, so the only driving I've done is in and out of the driveway. But by the end of tomorrow it'll be ready to go for a shakedown drive. |

Getting closer. Oh boy!
But that splitter, man. Looks like. Something. And, it's kinda white.
