Our winter project is now back at Tegiwa HQ after a recent visit to Andy Frost at ICEFAB. Andy has been working closely with Tegiwa over the past year to fabricate custom parts and help us further improve our race cars, most recently developing a fuel tank for the Civic FN2 for our FNduro cars.
Air Jacks
The first task that Andy was tasked with was fabricating some custom air jack mounts both front and rear. As the Honda NSX chassis is aluminium there’s a little more worked involved than what would be required to other cars. These mounts will accommodate a Yellow Speed Racing 4-point air jack system so we can quickly lift the car into the air during pit stops. The craftsmanship that has gone into making these is second to none as you can see from the pictures below.
Seat Mount, Bumper Mounts, Splitter Frame & Bash Bar
A seat mount was then made so we could mount our Cobra Ultralite carbon fibre bucket seat in the desired position with enough clearance for the roll cage. This was followed by front bumper mountings, a splitter frame and a tubular front bash bar.
Cooling Pack
Next up, a cooling pack consisting of large custom ICEFAB radiators and full front end ducting. As you can see this enormous front scoop that sits neatly behind the front bumper is going to draw in as much air as possible, without any air being lost due to the tight sealing, it has to go right up and through the radiator. The front radiator will cater for our charge cooling system and the rear triple pass radiator is for the new power plant (which is yet to be disclosed).
AIM Technologies
We then received this awesome care package from AIM with their PDM32 goodies. This included the module itself, which takes care of all the electrical circuits, removing the need for traditional fuse boxes and relay. A PDM32 6″ display with race icons was specced so that we can see the vital parameters such as speed, rpm, oil temperature etc. We also went for a 12 button CAN switch pad pro and a 10 channel wireless wheel pad with CAN connection and wireless receiver. A big thanks to AIM Technologies for giving us a great deal on these parts.
The next job on the huge job list is to get to work installing all these parts into the car. As you can see there’s plenty here! Our engine of choice is currently being prepared ready to be installed in the car too. Make sure you stay tuned for the next one as we disclose all the juicy details of what engine it’ll be running. You definitely won’t want to miss it!
