He is a tease. That looks awesome! It also looks like it's seen some battles already. Why did you wait so long!? Patrick, that sounds like one ugly dart board.

Got to live the gtr bumper/gts headlight combo. Might need to do this too, if I can find the bumper. MORE PICS!

It's a bit of wide angle effect going on so it's not quite as much camber as it looks.
Bruce, I've been putting in about 20 hours a week for the last month's to complete it!
But the car itself have been in battles before, hence the look of the front.

Been following the progress on the swedish board - Duke spent much time adapting his 3.0T 16V engine to this new car.

Can't wait to see inboard videos of that thing

So Gustaf, first compliments about your big project's result, it's awesome! Then a question. Why didn't you place radiators to the corners of the bumper like 996 has? I know it's a vulnerable place when racing, but that way you could have had undistorted cooling and intercooling. With shorter IC pipes.
Then there's this thing I've sometimes thought about...rotating the engine clockwise so that there's room for the turbo on the exhaust side. Requires custom oilpan etc, but still. Pretty feasible still in a racer. A side exhaust exit with an own one for the WG.

I suppose Gustaf put it all together the way he could to get it ready for this weekend - on such a car there is always room for modifications/improvements anyway
