Welcome to the site Dan. I'm going to be moving to your area of CO here in the very near future so I will have to stop by your shop. Car looks like an awesome project.

On a serious note judging by how strict his class is about interior panels I bet it's illegal to use either spray or two power adders. If not maybe it's just on his LONGGGGG to do list.

I can use two power adders in the class but i would have too add another 100 pounds to the car.
I want too see how heavy the car is when its done if it less than 2500 pounds I will just be on boost alone...If it weighs more than 2500 pounds ill add the nitrous just cause.

Nice stuff Zero!
But why did they leave the exhaust shielding in there? Couple a few pounds of needless weight.

All those super uber hardcore 2gnters on 2gnt.com must be shitting themselves. lol.
I think that exhaust manifold is the most beautiful part of your car.
Car looks good man. Still curious to see the numbers you put down. Is the passenger seat required for the class? My local track (most others around here)usually let you pull that passenger side seat out...
Oh and f**k the exhaust going all the way to the back cut that thing short and have it stick out the passenger side fender. Quicker spool and less weight. I'm dead serious.

Is the turbo oil drain line at enough of an incline so that oil is exiting the turbo freely? I plan on fabricating a bumper mounted turbo with in a couple of months and was wondering if I would need a pump on the oil drain line to help scavange the oil into the pan.

i haven't posted any pics over there on 2gnt yet but tell them to come over here and check it out lol. BUT yes my class dose require both matching driver and passenger seats. and it requires a rear axle exit muffled exhaust too...or i would have done the side exit. My class this year has changed from Sport FWD to TURBO STREET..

Yes it is at enough of an incline the oil pan is pretty big with the kick outs so it hold alot of oil.

Why didn't you run the exhaust under the rear crossmember? Just seems like an un-needed bend, but maybe it didn't give you enough ground clearance..?

Ground clearance is a issues....when i had my 3" turbo cat back it just seemed like it was too low to the ground and after years of driving it was pretty beat up and bent right in that spot...so i decided to go over the rear cross member " BUT " the main reason why i went over the rear cross member is because, There is going to be some "tin" work done under the car to clean up the aerodynamics and air flow underneath the car

Thanks man...Trust me every one will know as soon as i get my numbers! The reason why the interior was painted mainly is because the roll cage needed to be painted black, and the stock red color had to go.

Any plans to invest in the crazy expensive CF doors that are available. I don't think I've yet seen anyone using them.
