Me too. Black/ Gold was really nice especially with the Gold FMIC.

Is the accumulator acting as a catch can? If so, why did you choose that?

No, the accumulator is acting as an accumulator, I do have two catch cans they are just hidden pretty well up front on the passenger side of the radiator, you can just see the tops of them in the picture.

Those cold dewey mornings at the shootout with ying and yang Dsm's together...

Car on the right looks slow.

Some pictures of back when I was putting things together.

Decided It needed something in the empty space in the rear bumper, might make a nice titanium one for a project. And the red and black carbon fiber center piece that I made for between the tail lights needs a few more coats of clear next time I have some mixed up, it is my first carbon fiber project that I did and I wanted it ready for last years shootout so I laid as much clear as I could on it at that time a few days before the event, it needs another three or so coats and some leveling and it should look nice.

How much them pistons cost? And do you rate the total seal rings? Some nice engine internals there

 

[motomattx]

The pistons were a custom order, they were around $800-$1000 with rings if I remember right, maybe closer to $800? I upgraded them with hard coating and double spiro locks when I designed them, the piston company that made the pistons made me rings for them since they own Total Seal company, my rings are not the famous gapless rings that they make, they are conventional ones and they seem to be very good quality, the pins I had custom ordered from a piston pin company because I wanted them much thicker and better material than you could buy over the counter anywhere. Thanks for the compliments! they are super nice parts, almost hated to have to hide them inside of the engine, but lets hope that they stay hidden in there.

Out with the old in with the new, that engine socially distanced itself into my trunk and over to my buddies house, stock engine with super low miles on it.

Getting ready to install a set of 1650cc fic injectors, I will then have 1650cc in one rail and 1650cc in the second rail, we will see if I still need more fuel after that
