Update on my new Formula Vee

Hey guys,

Numerous you loved my earlier submit (https://www.reddit.com/r/motorsports/s/Rr6mu3xIB6) so whereas I didn’t anticipate I’d on the time of writing my first submit, I determine I might share an replace to hopefully assist out others who might contemplating getting a race automotive.

So yesterday I drove to the workforce to set the pedal positions, modify the brand new belts, set up the lap timer plate on the steering wheel.

A couple of sudden bills that popped up have been that the seat belts had expired and that the hearth extinguisher wanted recertification. That’s on prime of 6 hours of labor time I acquired charged by the workforce to choose up the automotive so it’s undoubtedly made a dent within the racing price range.

The workforce ran the automotive on the dyno and engine appears to supply fairly spectacular energy.

Gearbox appears to be in good situation too which is nice. The sprint (pic hooked up) is extremely outdated and whereas it’ll get me by way of this season it actually must be reworked for subsequent one.

Lastly, having seen the automotive in individual, I realised I dislike its livery rather a lot. In my earlier submit I discussed I used to be actually wanting ahead to designing a livery for it subsequent yr however now I don’t really feel like ready as lengthy. I discussed it to a pal and he recommended that I search for an automotive styling enterprise to collaborate with which I liked as an concept. So hopefully, in a couple of months, we’ll have a styling sponsor who’ll design and execute the livery from scratch and I’ll be capable of share the entire course of in a few YouTube vids.

I’m additionally attaching a couple of extra pics from yesterday.
