That's the transmission oil cooler.

From top to bottom....

Plenum, oil cooler, fan shroud, fan, ducting

It's a big Fluidyne oil cooler.

To the front brakes. That's where it will terminate.

Will you be doing initial testing with Vision trackside support?

Looking very good. That is some really trick sh**t. Unfortunately you are inspiring others (including me) to spend silly money. Please stop.

I think you should have left the fan exposed on the top and make it look like a 917/30!

Sort of. It's more like Vision will be totally setting up the car. Call me when it's time to drive it.

Yes... I could set it up. But Dewain of Vision is a FAR more accomplished (and faster) driver than I. Thus if he can set it up to smoke the new cup cars.... I'm all in.

So yeah. We'll be there together doing the setup, but I'll really be just deferring to Dwain.

1) Thanks

2) Life is short.... you can't take it with you. Might as well enjoy it while you can.

Today's update...

Brake Master Cylinders, brake bias, fit Accusump, fill/bleed clutch, fit oil filters, install rear suspension links, and a few more small things.

It's starting to come together.....
