    Love it! Mr. Castro did a great job on this one. Don't understand why that hood wasn't popped at SoCalEuro!

    I am glad to see someone using oval tubing, I am surprised that it isn't more popular given its ground clearance

    Sorry guys, work and school takes up most of my time, and this is a bit time consuming.

    Wastegate re-circulated into the down pipe









    Installed







    Oval exhaust being built



    Wideband o2 sensor bung added to the downpipe



    Exhaust almost complete!










    Coldside of the intercooler piping finished



    Downpipe wrapped





    Dr. Pepper anyone? This is actually an oil catch can set-up that Chris and Kyle planned out. Turned out great!



    Airbox painted wrinkle finish black to match the rest of the engine bay



    Custom air vent gauge pod made by Nigel (einstein57) from German Engineering!





    And here you have it folks, the finished product! :woowoo:





    Full view of the custom shifter set-up that Chris castro made from scratch! :ohsnap:



    Because race car! :nice:



    Not just Hellaflush, Kyle's car is...

    titties. What do you do about mufflers and such, run oval to circle adapters before and after? Or is the answer "mufflers?"

    This car looks like a lot of fun. You guys have to see the other end of the shifter!

    German Engineering modified throttle body and silicone intake boot installed. Chris also finished the cold side of the intercooler piping





    Chris' custom intake box almost done!









    Peek-a-boo, HKS BOV!





    3" mandrel bent downpipe in progress









    The circular to oval piping transition for the 3" mandrel bent, oval exhaust system













    The ground clearance is ridiculous!!!
