Thanks guys, I can't wait either!! An annoying part is after this is all said and done I have to rip it all apart and put it back together for reassembly since i didn't put a few gaskets in place or RTV anything etc. but that should only take a night or 2 but annoying I still have to do it

That's where I'm at too with the radiator hoses. So what gaskets do you need to do? We both are going to be driving the same time haha. I'm trying to finish mine up this weekend then on to tuning ....

Looks absolutely awesome. What track are you planning on running at when you get it buttoned up? Might have to make a trip out for that.

You'll have to let me know what your temps are when you cruise that thing. I'd love to put an F1R on mine but I think it wouldn't hold a temp if I blocked the rad with an IC. Good luck

I'd be goin to NLR to test it, little far for you north siders, lol. I assume it should cool just fine being this is the set-up everyone else runs. Plus I have my IC mounted as far out as poss so my radiator will still get air flow. There not all sandwiched together close, I have about a 1.5 ft between back of IC to front of radiator.

Working on the garage so I took the car off the stands and did a little photo shoot with it. Haven't seen sun in years! Looks more like a car outside and on the ground, lol...
