Gonna smooth out the edges on each corner of the lip wing too while you're at it filling in those middle sections, or leave it as is (sort of like the Origin lip with blocky corners)? Either way, gonna look cleannnn.

[QUOTE=Kohinoor;8039220]thanks




i picked up a rare abflug spoiler off yaj this weekend. ive been looking for one for 5-6 years! the plan is to close the slots on the bottom piece and use it as a lip spoiler. ive never cared for the top portion, so it will be for sale soon.

Thats a great idea! Would look really sweet.

engine bay is done they are painting the brake booster today so i should be able to tow it to powerhouse next week.
forgot to tell them not to reinstall the radiator/shroud/airbox lol




the abflug spoiler came in today as well. im in love with it. it reminds me of an m3 csl spoiler. i think it will be a permanent replacement to the zees spoiler.

If you want to do some track days pm me. I try to make it to most of the events relatively locally, and have never seen another SC. I was on stock twins and still hung with fast cars with the SC, just went single(450hp), so 800hp should be crazy if you can keep it cooled down in this hot weather.

Cooling has been my biggest issue with the fmic, etc. Just got a 50 row oil cooler, which I hope helps, going to Texas World Speedway 9/20.

I think I bought a catch-can from you a while back. It may have been another blue SC?

That would be awesome! 50 row is huge! I only have a 25 row setrab, I hope that is enough..

I haven't sold any catch cans, must be someone else.
