Default Shifter Mount
Some pics of the shifter mount. Moves it up 4" and back 1". Had to move it a little to get the shifter cables to reach over the motor.

Oh now that's bloody clever. I never thought to tig on a male AN fitting to the steam pass over. Thanks for sharing that.

Nothing is within .500" but that pic certainly makes it look closer!

It's fun to drive. The clutch is abrupt but not too bad. Can't wait to get the motor broken it

Thought it was time for an update!

Cleaned up the bumpers a bit by removing the fogs and adding grills to protect the radiators. Also finally got around to installing some Ohlins and Brembos (has smaller 4 piston brembos factory).

Currently installing some oil system updates for the track

Will post the whole oil cooler setup when it's done.

Vid of my buddy and his son getting a ride:




Ohlins DFV Coilovers



Brembo 14" 6 Piston Brakes



Crash bars with tow hooks



Deleted fog lights to get more inlet area for the corner radiators















Windage tray/crank scraper



oil pan baffle



thermostatic oil cooler take off plate



baffles installed
