Yeah cant wait to drive it... I cut the bumper out almost that big where stainless is. Just left enough for rivets. I know its overkill but i didnt want any melt and it gets hot around here in summer.. Im gonna make all the stainless hot pipes look like chrome after we get turbo braced up and my oil return put in timing cover hopefully tonight...

Ya those things are nice. If you were closer i would borrow it haha. That wont be bad if you paint that ring the same color as the car you would hardly notice it.I'm bringing my pipes to get ceramic coated monday cant wait to see how they come out. Now just need to ditch this snow so i can race!
If not for him i wouldnt of went stainless..
And yes i plan to paint ring color of bumper, matter of fact whole bumper will get painted cause where i cut bird out on front and shallowed fog light holes for intercooler you can see back where it isnt painted... So gonna get all that panited over.
Better Picture now with some rivets

The brace pivots with bolts where its attached to frame rails..... No support really up but if you try to push down on it, it would have to spread the frame rails apart to move any lol....
No solid mounts, i do have a engine stay rod fabbed in that hopefully will help with engine movement... We will see.... Gonna use better bolts but those are just thrown in there for mock up. The little turn buckle is pretty strong...

that "engine stay rod" looks like it will transfer just as much vibration as solid motor mounts. any reason that you didnt just go solid? I agree that the plate for the exhaust could be a little smaller or at least symmetrical but it'll look better when it's all painted.

Well hopefully they are solid just because if the motor shakes and the turbo is solid with the frame not sure how that will work. But I'm sure you know this already. You have metal just make some mounts.

What are some thoughts on fuel pumps??? I wanna just do a single pump style, leave stock regular and rails and lines, only upgraded injectors.. Injectors will be fic 1000cc.. Are there any single intake pumps out there to support possible 700whp?? On pump gas/meth
