Thank goodness, I was hoping that wasn't just me

 

Referring to bytevenoms thread about bumper cuts and hood vents?

 

Where can I find specs on these " blackbird fabrication Street " engine mounts you are talking about? I can't find them on the @Blackbird website, is it a discontinued product? As far as I can tell all they sell is a ND rollbar.

 

Lern 2 serch noob.

Moti's site is useless. He has lots of products that are cool, but you have to follow on the forums and facebook and basically keep your own spreadsheet to keep on top of things. No idea why he hasn't fixed that.

 

I talk, it typestypos. I'll go back and fix that.

 

I did search, the website, the logical place to find an inventory of parts for available from a given vendor. Is this not how the internet works anymore?

Six, when you get these installed please report findings.

 

****'s tight, yo. Or whatever the Millennials say. And a little vibratey. Going to have to take some silicone and glue a few things to each other so they don't buzz and squeak. But the engine is not going to fall out and the shifter stays put which is the point.

 

For me the vibrations went down quite a bit after about 1000 miles. Still have some rattle hunting to do, it is a NA after all, but I'm no longer self-conscious at stoplights with the top down.

 

I don't street drive it much. I've street driven it more lately since I couldn't track drive last year because of the vertigo. All of my buddies are screwing off and not ready to go to the track yet and track season starts next month so I'm left with...

I hate to go to the track alone. It's about sharing the experience.

 

I prefer to say building as opposed to screwing off...though there is some of that in there too.

 

Some are building cars faster than others. Ryan G's nearly ready but his EFR won't stop puking oil so it is an unknown quantity. Yours is making big progress but has months of work ahead of it. Troy's car looks totally stripped just like it did 3 years ago. Gary's bare body GT-R just got subframes installed and is going back to Mazworx for major surgery so it is still way off.

Meanwhile, I got tired of waiting for Singular or Sadfab or someone on this forum to make 3D printed inlets for the GV lip and found someone who was already making them.
I made an Etsy account to order them from https://www.etsy.com/listing/4686491..._home_active_1.

Works with a 2.5 inch hose so I will likely get the Singular kit.







I'll report on quality, fitment, and take pictures when they arrive.

 

Thanks for the good laugh!

 

I got a thing or two. Looks like this. Seems sturdy and looks nice. This is the "shiny" finish, in case anyone is curious.

 

I am a little surprised you bought something instead of shoving old vacuum cleaner attachments into those holes. If you keep doing this you are going to have to repaint the car eventually.

 

Initially considered vacuum cleaner nozzle. Only had one from old eureka. Purchasing spare eureka would be more expensive but would have spare vacuum to show for it. Some benefit there. But time required to modify could be better spent criticizing people who couldn't find oil leaks preventing them from doing track days.

 

Brake duct nozzles installed.

 

My homemade undertray setup was wider and lower than stock and had to be trimmed a little.

Singular 2.5in clamshells were ordered last week and should be in soon.

 

watching this brake ducting project with interest.

 

Just signed up for Daytona on Sunday, Dec 10, single day with MVP Track Time.

Brake ducts installed. Pretty nice stuff.
