House Cat

by Cord Bauer 20 Sep 2015
The House Cat is coming along, and like most ground-up builds the build motto is, "hurry up and wait." All of the major parts are in the shop or on order, but for every large item (like an engine), there are dozens of parts that may need to be upgraded, replaced, don't have, or just plain can't find in the stack of stuff. That's this build. The most noticeable change with this build over others...RED, but there are dozens of significant new items that we're testing on the House Cat. They include:
  • a new V8 Roadster K member which should add strength, lightness and even move the engine back a bit
  • Keisler Automation hubs that drop weight, add strength and improve the roll center and center of gravity
  • RacePak SmartWire wiring system. A racing computer replaces the traditional fuse box layout, creating a simpler, lighter and more robust electrical system
  • New Big Bake Kit with aluminum rotor hats. Wilwood hardware with custom hats and brackets are lighter, stronger (see a pattern here?), and are up to the rigors of track duty
  • A Singular Motorsport Brake Duct kit port air directly to the front brake rotors for no-fade use
  • A CX Racing long-tube exhaust header with T3 flange and Intercooler kit should help the engine feed hot exhaust gases to a new turbo
  • Ohlins suspension handles the bumps. I've never had better suspension on my motorcycles than Ohlins, and hope that continues with this car.
  • A healthy serving of carbon fiber and Kevlar will find it's way onto the bodywork. The planned paint job will show off some of the carbon on the body, and Kevlar will be used underneath the body over the tires and, at stress points, and at the sides of the car for crash protection

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
