Because building a GT4 is clearly not enough work... I have a race car - not hard core performance rally like Steve... but we have been known to pull down a trophy.... Here is a very high level of the car's progression since 2009. I took this year (2013) off as I was completely burnt out and broke... 2014... I cannot wait!
Whelp.... if there is some interest, I can keep posting some photos and progress as we work toward April 2014 @ Gingeman Raceway... This post has been edited by qatar11: May 25, 2015 - 8:17 AM -------------------- -Mike

So... March was crazy... home now from South Korea (work). All the coated parts are back!
That's a SwainTech PPM coating on the bearings and a PC-9 on the piston skirts. PC-9™ is Swain Tech Coatings’ latest generation of piston skirt coating. PC-9™ has the same low friction properties of Poly Moly™, but PC-9™ is even tougher. Swain Tech Coatings’ PPM™ solid film lubricant is a thin, tough coating applied to bearing shells to reduce friction and improve the wear life of both the bearing shells and journals under normal operating conditions. However, it is when operating conditions are less than ideal that PPM™ really goes to work. If there is a cold start, oil starvation or any other situation where the primary lubrication is less than ideal, PPM™ will provide a solid film of lubrication to prevent a catastrophic failure. -------------------- -Mike
