Are you going to do the exhaust exit right there behind the front wheels too? Would save some weight and be way easier to route.

Exhaust dump in that location too?

Yep i had it there on my old car, but it was a bit longer because i used to drive it to the racetracks.

This time there will be no muffler as it doesn't need one. The turbo does a pretty good job as a muffler.

I look forward to seeing the future of this car.

Not really... Been driving my daily with it's 2 piece downpipe seperated the past few days, and its nearly as loud as the time I had to run around without a cat-back when I tried installing NB headers. *they were dirt cheap, I didnt mind spending $20 to get a custom test-pipe*


Note to self... Get proper downpipe made... *dribble of blood runs out ears*

Please tell me you saved the mold for this so i can dream of pay you to make me one then paying double just to get it to the USA.

It is loud on the street, but no louder than the other cars at the track. And it sounds good when you spool up the turbo going thru the pits. Yes, i still have the moulds. I will see how they go as i am moving house soon. Into a smaller block, better location and only 1 garage. First thing i will do is knock down the garage, put in a new (bigger) slab and make a new (bigger) garage using cool room panels. The cool room panels will be good to control the temperature inside. I have done the right side rear fender, so by tmrow i should have a pic of both of them done.

I need to cut out the steel fender to fit it into the right spot. It weighs 4.8lbs.

I'm really loving the look of the carbon against that bright orange/red color you have on the interior.

I got the idea from this porsche. GT3 RS

I am going to do a few highlight bits on the outside too.

Ah.. cool... just don't copy the gt3 checker board stripe thingy and you're golden. Everyone copies that stupid crap, and it never comes out right on anything not porsche.

Yeah, when doing accent colors like that, remember LESS IS MORE.

You dont want to end up on the riceboy page 5 years ago.

No checkers...... I was thinking maybe the rim lip on my 8" wheels and leave the 9's in nickel. Obviously the cage and maybe mirrors and wing end plates. I also have seen i think a lambo with the vent holes painted in highlight colour. The 2nd 1/4 panel is layed up, just have to finish finding the leaks and i can infuse it.

Just found this thread. Amazing!

Intercooler arrived.



This is the inside of the other rear 1/4. It has taken 1 hour to get the peel ply and infusion layers off (black area), still have the rest to go.

lightyear

I finished the other rear 1/4.





Cut out a little bit of metal from the rear 1/4 areas.






Rear guard is riveted on. ( i also did a quick lowering job in paint to get it sitting at the right ride height) AND i removed 35lbs of weight.

Uhm, wow.. I'm guessing you're going to brace the rear section or something.

This is hardcore.
