It's always a good day when you update this thread,

Got some more stuff done this weekend. We are planning on having it running in the next few weeks so we can sort out all of the bugs before we bring it down to Yimisport to do the tuning.

I powdercoated the upper expansion tank wrinkle black. It's our new favorite color...

Also did made the intake today. The filter sits behind the passenger seat. We will be making an air box for it so it gets constant cool air. PS: shout out to the guy working at O'reillys for the filter.

Welded on the MAF flange and ground it down and sandblasted the whole piping to get it ready for powdercoating.

Slight mishap happened...scratched the hotside of the intercooler piping pretty bad (was PC'd wrinkle red) but we ended up going with a wrinkle black this time around. Hopefully it looks a bit better...

Coolest thing I've seen in a while, definitely sub'd

[jaywood]

Subscribed! Nice work Jay! You're progressing very fast! Very impressive! Love the aluminum console chassis & leather covering. I may have to redo the console face on mine to accommodate different gauges.

Thanks man. We appreciate the kind words :p Keep up the good work and documentation on your car! You know I'm following your build thread!

Got a bit done this weekend.

Hot side is powdercoated wrinkle red and the cold side is short aluminum tubes inside the couplers for clamping purposes.

I always get excited when I see this thread pop up...

good lord.....



i was hoping to see a twin exhaust on this thing...just for looks of course.. would've looked sick.

Honestly if we could have we would have. Space is so limited back there. On the other side of the muffler is all of the shift linkage brackets/cables so dual exhaust just wasn't going to work....

Information on the seats, those are rad! This thing is going to be insane man, great fab work as well, very clean.

They are Tillets. We bought them from Danny (the guy who welded the frame). I don't have much info on them besides that. They're full CF w/ suede padding. The seat brackets weigh more than the seat itself :p

I might be stupid but doesn't the pipe look insanely thick? What is that?

Lol, good eye. See below

I think that's a v-band fitting on the end.

Correct. The angle of the picture makes it look like really thick tubing.

I always get excited when I see this thread pop up...

Thanks ;)
