Jeremy, Awesome work. Looking forward to seeing what else you guys have planned for your silver star.

Yep and:

ACT Lightweight Flywheel + Clutch
GFB Pulley Set
DriveShaft Shop Carbon Driveshaft

This thing will fly through the gears. May end up having to back down to a 4.5 final gear. We'll know more after some track testing.

Bump for an update to the OP

Not sure about the 1/4 on this thing. Never tired it with this car.

Do you know of anyone making a 4.0 - 3.8 final drive? I'm actually trying to incenses the length of my gears. Once I get the waste gate and EBC on I'm thinking traction will be a nightmare.

I really like to see some of these details. But damn that mounting location for that oil cooler is scary, the lines are incredibly risky.

If you even clip something small on the bumper its going to sheer those lines off.
If you are going to keep it there can you hole saw through the mean and run the lines behind the bumper beam?

I wish you guys best of luck and post plenty if updates.

Awesome write-up! Can't wait to see the finished product! Thanks for showing everyone that our oil cooler kit will work with the Vortech kit, as there were a lot of questions about this.

Not really anywhere else to go with it where it would get air flow. It'd take a pretty good hit to destroy the cooler and lines, and if we have an impact that large and the car still moves, we can always un-hook the cooler.

Looks great! Any vibes with the driveshaft?

Is the mishimoto oil sandwich plate a thermostatic one?

No it is not. Always open.

I mean the lines in front of the bumper beam are the big problem. Almost no clearance between the bumper cover and the lines.

If you had an off on the track and sheered the bumper off the lines would come with it.

A small animal impact like a Raccoon which would crack the bumper could shred the lines as well. Clearly it's your car, just pointing it out as it definitely is a safety concern.
