WOOOOW !!!! I see how it is here. Well "Hopefully" it will be around 250 or so. Thats what we are shooting for anyway. But we'll see later this summer. There is no Winter in Florida man.

We have 2 seasons here. Hurricane and NOT hurricane season.

Interested in seeing your pictures of ducting. I've been trying to figure out what material to use and how to attach it.

What I am going to be doing is making templates from poster board then using some aluminium to make my dusting towards the radiator and intercooler. I have some ducting inlets as well I may figure a way to carry air from the side of the main peice to the intercooler as well. Have to really get in there and see how much room we have to work with before any of that can happen though. Loads to do as always.

I will also be making a cardboard template, then making it out of some thin sheet metal or thin aluminum. What I did for the 2 air intakes on the sides are:

Left side: Used some brake cooler ducting but instead of going to the brakes, i routed it up into the intake filter. (pics to come shortly)

Right side will have ducting for the Oil Cooler.

Hoping to have some fun this summer

^Very nice!!

My plan right now is to get a warm enough weekend day so I can go to my uncle's barn, roll the car out, and get it fired up as I havn't touched it since Thanksgiving!!

I'm going to be a safety steward for my local SCCA region this year so hopefully I can get some free racing as money is tight and HPDE is going to be my focus. Nothing really planned for the car except keep the maintenance up for the season.

Finished up my air ducting:

I used some thin sheet metal (painted it flat black) to direct air from the sides of the main opening in the front bumper so that it has to flow through the radiator. Kind of hard to see in the pics, but hopefully you understand:




Left inlet on the bumper: I used some air ducting i bought and routed the ducting so air comes in the left inlet on the bumper and goes up through the inner fender and then into the air filter. At high speeds one would think that should help:




Final Product:


For the right side air inlet on the bumper, I will be making some air ducting for the engine oil cooler after it gets installed.

Other Progress:

Interior looks like this:


Moved the gauges to this A-Pillar pod. Gauges used to be down in the radio bezel thing.


If someone made a nice sunroof delete plug thing it would sure save me some grief, and maybe even some money:



Car sitting patiently waiting for the snow to go away!!


Current pic of the engine, I/C pipes are all done and everything is almost complete. Just need a few small things yet.

Looking good Andy. I'll be fitting the FP mani on this Friday and redoing my recirculation pipe as well. New brake pads will hopefully be in by then so I can finish that up as well.
