I was about to ask where you put the radiator and condenser. Nice man! So where is the IC going to go now? In front of it?

Who cares about spelling? Awesome build, very good detail on the parts list. Keep updating the thread and don't forget results when you finish that beast.

The front bumper support/radiator/ water pump and fan came from Burkhart Chassis. I reworked the radiator supports to angle the radiator on a 45 degree angle and added mounts for the condenser. I'll post up a few pics of how I am mounting the intercoolers tomorrow. As far as the the inner fenders I'm thinking about leaving it open to help keep the engine bay cool. Probably cut the plastic inner fenders to go from the breathers back.

Looks gangster.

Sorry I had been drinking and the jealousy came out...

Jealousy is a stinky cologne, and I'm wearing a ton of it.

I sincerely apologize.

Sick build and setup. I like the position the turbos are in.

I don't think they count as TC series any longer when they have the GTM front cover. That should be an absolutely insane setup. I really am a fan of the radiator, condensor, and front bumper support setup. What're you planning on doing in regards to filters?

Ut-oh... I didn't know there were guys on here taking away points for spelling/typos. If that's the case, I'm in serious trouble!

Either way, keep up the good work and don't worry about the spelling police... They can>

A couple of shots of how I mounted the first intercooler. Now time for some cold side piping!

great stuff. interested to hear more about the build and car. the turbo positioning is optimal and really looks "pro mod" in execution

thanks for all the pics, I'm in Alex Va and glad to see a sharp VA car like this.

So that's what the car looks like Adam. It has been a few years since the beast has been out. I must say it is looking great and definitely worth the time. Thanks for telling me about this thread last night at the track. Can't wait to see it on the track again.
