Nice! Some wheel spins at the start may have costs you a couple of mph at the mile marker. Sid and Shawn and others...you have some competition. Kidding aside, nice build and I believe this car is the first with the chute...Sid where is yours? Thanks for sharing.

Lol, I won't be installing a chute anytime soon.

There is plenty of comp for everyone out there. Hell, I'm gonna have a rough time fending of my local crew soon enough.

I do love this build though. One of my favorites.

I am curious if they give 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 mile mph numbers to you guys. I would think so.

Maybe you could share??

Yes, mine is also an hx40. I use the larger 6 blade wheel and a garret hot side though.

More room for radiator and IC.
Better placing of radiator and IC.
Weight loss - New front half will be made of aluminium and carbon.

Not sure at the moment but maybe we will also modify front suspension points for better handling. Waiting for geometry lab results at the moment.

+1 nice welds. Not so keen on bolt in cage but life is about compromise. :-)

Still interested in what you're doing up front with the relocation of Intercooler and radiator. Any progress on this?

Any news here?
Do you need to weld in plates in the car for that rollcage or is it bolt in without any modifications of the body?

Yes, and would love to see what you're doing up front with the IC and Radiator?
