Upgraded wiring in my Lola T91/50 F3000
Question: What does an EE do when he can't drive a race car (because all the body panels are off to paint)?
Answer: Upgrades the entire electrical system!
Now to be clear, it all ran fine when I acquired it, but as all good engineers know there is often more than one solution to any problem. I replaced all the automotive electro-mechanical relays with a solid state power distribution module and solid state battery disconnect. Made a new set of car harnesses to accompany those devices, as well as my new AIM MXL2 dash logger and sensors (which was what honestly started me on the re-wire project). Then I wrapped it all in some high speed braided high-temp wire loom and cleanly routed and secured the whole mess to minimize chances of electrical issues on track.
Just sharing - hope you enjoy the pics!

For a bit of fun, as if all the re-wiring wasn't fun enough, I added the Lola logo to my dash startup screen :D
