You're not kidding. We run those on the race car. Definitely not cheap.

Just wanted to let you know this isn't true for the majority. It's just that the engineers see the fine detail and know what to say to let you know they know you did a good job.. The rest of us just see this for the "project" it is, but definitely still appreciate the work and thought that goes into this... We just have no idea how much that really is.

Cheers though, keep doing your thing.. Subbed.

does the engine undertray still fit? otherwise you are going to get a really dirty engine bay quickly, and ruin the aerodynamics of the car.

Nice build. What kind of mount are you using for the tablet? I have a N7 I want to securely mount in that area but haven't found anything yet.

He answered that in the thread, yes, it still fits.


Nice work bro, one fabricator to another.

Not at all worried about the wastegate and weather?

Although I think our hood does form a pretty decent seal when closed.

The manifold sits further away from the under tray than the stock headers. The only thing that will protrude from the under tray will be the wastegate screamer pipe as it will be going through a hole I cut in the under-tray and will stick out maybe 5mm.

What do you mean? The wastegate sits behind the radiator.

Wastegate went on today. Lucky these turbosmart wastegates are as small as they are, I couldn't see myself running anything else lol.

Wrapping up the oil cooling system this morning too. Bit scary cutting out the front bar but I gotta do what I gotta do. Adds LOTS of room for anything you could want in there.
