Bruce Mk. 1









This car shall now be named “Bruce”. Just gives me that vibe. It doesn’t look terrible once painted, but the cans I’m using don’t like to be ran right low and it splattered paint all over the top of the wing. Doesn’t matter as it’s a prototype that is (literally) rough around the edges. So far nobody seems to have noticed locally haha. Change of pace for once.

Seems good as before. I added some strengthening using leftover scraps and some more zip ties. Very solid now. Two underbody panels that I had attached to the rear trailing arms were shredded; I tore those off. Cooling is good, car runs nice.

Mileage? Not sure so far. I drive much slower at home, around 70-75 km/h. Sometimes I’m late and it’s 200 km/h. At the lower end of the spectrum, the scan gauge reads 50-55 MPG or so. I will update with tank data when I refill next.

It is dead quiet at 70! No noise. Just wheels. Can barely hear the engine unless you want it, which is nice.
