Working on the R32 this Sunday

Today we were busy, getting the car ready for the last run of the year....(24th) when we hope to beat our record. So with that in mind, and knowing every little helps we made an FRP mould of the Drivers side headlight to save around 2kg (4kg in total as we are using tomei cold air intake headlight for the passanger side. Here are the pics:

24日に今年最後の調整を行い、願わくばエンドレスのベストを更新！したいと思っております・・・

それを念頭に置いて、できることは何でもやろう。ということで今日のエンドレスR32は・・・

Our 100mm turbo funnel goes on the T88-38GK, looking "pika-pika" but our hands look "ba-la-bala" :(
ピッカピカに磨きました。これでエンジン内に起きる空気抵抗を減らすことが・・・できません。

Engine plate goes on, car is given number 023, as this year is Endless 23rd Year....so special car for us, and nice number to go with it.
23年目のエンドレスなので、シリアルナンバー２３です。闘魂注入です。タイムには何ら関係ありません。

Headlight prototype.....repairing the crack where "rick san" missed when he popped the mould out......foreign peoples hands are too big!!!!!!!hehehe

イギリスからの贈り物リッキー・Ｊ・コルゲイトさんのハンドメイドＦＲＰヘッドライトです。リックさん「キレイデショ？」？一同「いいえ、穴だらけです・・・」

Quite a few pin holes were in the mould, so some filler later :) it started to look ok.....dont cry "Rick san" it is still your tuning!
一時は一面の補修材に覆われたヘッドライトもこの通り平らになり彩色待ちです。泣かないで、リックさん、これはこれであなたの仕事ですって！

Some time later, and its starting to look interesting....but actually was alot of work involved.....the prototype will be staying a prototype :(.......said Sugino san.

簡単についたように見えますが、実際ステーをつけたりいろいろやっております。

Sugino san checking the fitting of the tomei unit, he doesnt like it, so more processing will be done to make secure.

社長のチェックが入り、鶴の一声「あかん。」やり直しです。

some more lightening of the bonnet, the CFRP give us better cooling, but infact it started off heavier than the OEM part....some processing later, they are about the same weight....

削れるとこはけずります。

Painted and fitted......:) 　　装着図。

Yellow circle is related to some special tuning we have done.....a first for us, and works very very well. :) Anyone has a guess to what we have done?

秘密のチューニング、アレがない！
