Why did you go with air to air instead of a/w?

Brendan, air to air I think will be more efficient on the track and less chance for leaks. Right now no racing just DE this is why the inside is not finished yet, door, gage.... I need another winter :-)

Your car looks AWESOME. Great job. It reminded me of my project, and how the car looked on the outside, hiding the raw-ness of the inside. (until all those race stickers get put on!)

so, why did you not cage it up?
where is the intake for the supercharger? (just mated up to the radiator for filtering?)
with the intercooler,will there be enough air flow for engine cooling?

Holy cow, that's a nice car! The interior looks nicer than a typical racecar, kinda like a special lightweight factory model or something.
How did you strip the crap from the interior? I have someone in my car right now with dry ice, a chisel and some Xylene, it's hard work

Jean-Louis: Nice work! Does jyoon know what you've done to his car?



Mike: I used an air chisel and a very cold winter for the last car I stripped of sound deadening. It was frozen brittle, and took me about 1/2 hour to do a little RX-7. The air chisel is much less kind to the sheetmetal than solvents or even a hand scraper, but race cars are not pretty inside and time is money.
