    Installed the track connect stuff. First use in 2 weeks.

    Sensors installed:

    A perk of having the Qi charger center section:

    Is that there's sufficient space under it to install the telemetry unit:

    I have a new obsession, and it is this tire.

    If there's a company I'm a fanboy of it's Michelin, and these sound like the perfect track tire for my wants. Optimized for long life, fine to drive to/from the track, and onboard temp/pressure monitoring as well as suggestions for pressure changes for better lap times-- in an app I can run on the Avin, on track.

    Fuck yes.

    Ordering.

    Do the pictures on the first page just not load for anyone else? They aren't showing on my computer or my phone

    Got it, thanks! I bought an Ender 5Plus which works great. I printed the first set in high temp PLA. Going to see how those hold up. Otherwise I have some carbon infused ASA I'm going to give a go.

    Build is looking sick though, kudos.

    I'm curious to hear what made you move away from your custom 3D printed brake ducts. I used your design to print a pair over the winter. How do you like the Hard motorsport kit, specifically the slim low profile ducting component they now have?

    Good progress recently (later than I hoped, but... big undertakings this winter)...

    Installed the final tube of the brake ducting, and confirm it fits without issue in all positions:

    ^ Barry at 3DM is great! Close relationship with Öhlins USA, including a lot of testing work on BMWs for them.
