Jason, let me ask you, you don't think water will cause any problems with the location of the DLI?

If you drive the car daily. I wouldn't suggest placing it there. This is a race car so It won't see any rain. Plus we want to hide as much as we can. FYI, we had many issues with the twin HKS. The manifold seem to crack all the time. I had to take them out a couple of times. It takes 5 hr to replace the turbo. No fun there. Ditch the twin and go with the GT47-88 . You will get the WOW factor when the hood is pop

The overflow tank of coure will be polished and done to make perrrty. We are trying very hard to get the car completed for HIN Orlando. I hate CRUNCH time, but it always seems to happen this way, not quite sure why.

DCMango, can I ask where your grounding points will be on the Apexi Grounding system? I just got one also and just wondered where you're putting yours. Thanks

What sucks is that we will have no time for placement of my electronics before HIN, but that will be the next stage. We are still a LONG way from having the car up and running. At this time, I will be happy for the car to make it to HIN Orlando in a semi compeleted state. We will see, everyone 's working hard and I appreciate all the help from everyone that's involved in the project!
