You like that? Tis how I roll...
Actually, got a smoking price on the Panasports and then needed to run a small spacer for them to clear the brakes.
Car handles great though. A bit oversteery at first with just the spacer in the front so I added 5mm in the back and it made a huge difference.

Quick question... Just noticed your Rotrex was reclocked downward? Obviously my AC/PS needs to go, is this just a matter of removing the bolts on and rotating the housing to taste? IC is in my future, reclocking would open up far more options.
Love the build, clean and well thought out is the way to go. I only hope my ADD mod mess is 1/2 as reliable.

Exactly. However it's a tight fit, and the silicone would be very close to the header if it was just on the tip of the stock compressor housing. I bought a 90* cast elbow and had my fab guy make an extension pointing forwards. And then I wrapped the compressor housing exit in gold heat reflective tape, wrapped my header with DEI heat wrap AND put a TDR heat shield over that.

I'm keeping my eye out for one. I'd like to add some 6UL to my wheel collection for higher speed tracks. With my 4.1FD w/ a 6pd and 15's with NT01's would that act pretty similar to my 4.1FD w/ 5sp and 13's? Or should I try to get a 3.9? A 3.6 is too low for me I think given the tracks I run and the torque I have...

.... this picture was during my quickest lap of the day. Think maybe not wanting to let the Ultima pass had something to do with it? MmmmhmmmOh, and I'm kinda kicking it out in the corner too... not on purpose. So time to be had there as well... Damn I can't wait to see what it's going to be like when I have aero.
That Ultima has a built LS7 in it.
