Here are the wheels all polished up and done. I'm so happy with the way they turned out. Mac Fab did a killer job on them and I almost hate having to mount tires on them.

The Intercooler is done and off to get mounted. We had custom one built by Rick Head of Exile Turbo. We will be mounting in a are behind the passenger set. It will be mounted with the 2 charge tubes going in from the bottom. This will allow us to run the tubes on the floor of the car and make 45 degree bends into the cooler. I hate when people have the 2 tubes running through the center of the car. I just doesn't look clean that way in my eyes. I want to run the tubes as close to the floor as I can and try to make them blend in.

Here it is

Well to tell you the truth that is the reason it is going behind me. I really don't want it next to me. I don't plan on it blowing up but you just never know. Some type of cover will be on it.

good call...


even behind you it can cause a significant pressure event inside the vehicle...I've seen roofs ripped off cars (there a youtube video floating around). a blanket around the pressure tanks can still mitigate that quite a bit...

Damn fantastic looking welds! I wish they would have added braces on the welds though like the chiseled intercoolers.

I wish I could say the car will be ready and finished to race for the event but it will be tough. I'm getting into my busy part of the year so staying on top of this will be a little tough.

What I have been doing is getting Dennis @ DMC a ton of parts so he has what is needed to finish the car on his end. It most likely will roll out of DMC turn key 100% done.

He got the intercooler today and just placed it into the car. You would think it was built for the spot, well it was. Rick at Exile Turbo did a great job and it fit great. I hope to have a few more pictures and updates next week for everyone. Here is a picture.

Dennis does awesome work, I'd have him add some gussets to the pressure side seams of the intercooler. Everyone one I have seen come apart don't have gussets.

I'm sure he will do something with mine. He does great work like you said. Rick at Exile used a new Garrett core that is like the 4000 style coolers but this one is a little wider rather then taller. It worked out better for fitment, is lighter and the side tanks shape was changed and get's more of a tri-angle to it so that will help also.

Now we just have to mount it and get the tubes run to it. I hope to post pictures by the weekend.

Not scared at all, just joking around. I'm used to being an underdog!

Don't you have 2 of the events. I don't have a shot at the first one but maybe the 2nd one if it is on a off weekend. If I have the car out ready and tested maybe it will be worth going to. I will have to look into it.
