I am limited because I do not have the quick disconnects. In the back you can see the line disappearing through the rear seat bucket behind the battery. The fronts loop under the front fender well.

Disregard the red M3 race car photos.

Note the modified water pump, closed off heater hose outlets and modified hose direction to fit the application.

Gorgeous -- simply awesome.

Two questions: you're going to place a heat shield around the dual master cyl's right? They look awfully close to the header, but that could just be the perspective of the camera (plus the pictures were gigantic!).

Also, can you explain the splitter setup? I love that you can leave it installed and still remove the fascia. I can see how it is quick-disconnect but how about install? Looks like an awful lot of nuts/bolts/brackets you need to remove from one and install on the other (unless, of course, you are truly first-class and have a second splitter 100% ready to go). Still, you would need to bolt the trunnions to the bumper and whatnot. What quick release fasteners are you using?

Master cylinder set up - The master cylinders are actually placed in front of the first header tube and in the secondary air flow area. We moved them away from the fire wall using a long engineered strut to avoid the heat pocket at the original location, so no heat shield should be necessary.

Splitter system is something I produce and sell. There are about 15 used currently in DE and racing (Steinels has installed 3 or 4). The key is a three piece bracket that bolts to the same location as the factory tie downs. This is a bayonet/pin style affair that allows some hinge movement in case of impact. We use 6 ball fasteners to secure the tops of the four struts and the bayonet pin. We use a "fascia extension" that attaches to the stock bat wing mounting points to close off the front. We now just rivet the fascia extension on instead of the dzus fastners to save expense.

Looks great. A couple of things I might have done differently, but it's clear the car is a nice build.

One thing I really don't understand.... is why did you go to a separated dual master cylinder? The only reason to me, would be the ability to use the balance bar to adjust the front / rear brake bias rather than using a proportioning valve. But yet you use a proportioning valve. Seems to me to defeat the purpose. And thus the question.

Thanks for that Tony. I've been doing some research on Batteries. I have a smaller Oddyssey Gel Battery that just won't cut it for starting the High compression V8. This one looks pretty good.

Dry I weigh around 2500, I need to add weight, especially in the rear. I still have the original glass and bumper in the back.
