Re: Progress since last year

Stock radiators sometimes work great if you only drag race. Don't need much cooling, really. But what do I know? lol

Looking nice with the small bars.

Re: Progress since last year

Sorry I didn't get the exact same one, I got the V5 for the evo's. I think it's pretty much the same thing though, besides the fitment and such.

It only took like 1-2 weeks from when I ordered it, but they hd already been in production for a little while.

Yeah, these are basically the same thing just set up for a 1g instead of a evo. I'm hoping to get it by the beginning or 1st week in may. I want to try to get it to the first bir event to do some license passes if all goes well. What tb are you running?

I'm running the new full blown unit.

I haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet with my turbo being rebuilt, but it looks like a nice piece.

Re: Progress since last year

Stopped by Meanstreet last night to check out the progress. Might get the car back Sunday late? Heres a few more progress pic's.Top of the halo, door bars, lower door bar, and front dash bar's still needed to be fitted and then final welding. Plus the window net. Then it should be done.
