Default For those who have ask.

Car had the Chassis cert yesterday. I still have a few things to do wiring wise. It has not been an easy road but slowly getting there.

I have been very busy with the shop. I am slamming trying to get the car done for the West Coast Shootout, Then we have a few local events. I am hoping to have it 100% for the LTx Shootout

Nice Ellis. Should be a nice ride from the west coast to Kentucky.

Any NA passes on it yet?

Any front end pics to help understand that ram air? Is it a factory scoop just ducted straight to the TB? Any filter, or ability to install a filter for the street?

What I did was cut out everything in the front grill that did not hold the new billet grill in. With everything out of the nose and a new round bar nose support. So the CF part now separates the radiator and fresh air from the nose. i then built the air dust to the TB. It is now sealed to the hood with foam. I will try to remember to take pics tomorrow

Is that a 4" man pipe? Does it dump there or just spray straight back?

Radiator air fed from bottom and TB fed from top?

Interesting to see no support bar after cutting out the header panel for radiator install.
