Thank you all very much! I'm super stoked to move on with more and more mods and track events!

Bigjon- yes! I still want to appear street legal for the most part and be able to cruise across state to race (my bro drives the diesel e350 to haul stuff I drive just because). Cars getting lots of tweaks this week, just got more fittings to hopefully finish the engine cooler, till the thermostat arrives and the trans cooler

.6 more quarts of trans fluid in a bigger cooler, new hoses and fittings, lighter weight bracket. Overall I'm not sure yet, not done with all the fitment versions.

Also, the additional 25 row air to fluid oil heat changer plumbed into the oem filter housing, holds over a quart with lines.

The skid plate is easier to work with and more durable than the plastic fairing

Here soon the radiator will be done so I'm not sure a oh engine temps yet, I'm going to be adding sensors for some defi gauges on everything.

Thank you! I don't weld aluminum, yet.. My fab guy did that, I bent, drilled, cut and test fit everything! His biz is called "just weld it" he welded together these Ferrari dealership automated stands and endless amounts of contracts with metals ranging from none- automosphericly welded titanium, stainless, aluminum.. He's good, his was a quick drop by on Friday before we both left town

Very nice & clean on the welding. I did some fab work before I got hurt. I do miss it.

Here's one thread with some info (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-weigh-in.html) the other is by slayx "weight reduction", my previous race weight (only 1/4 tank In the car) was about 3600 on the dot. I want to reduce things more though, I have changed quite a few things since the previous weigh in but she's still right approx 3625 (calc'd the approx same fuel as before)

Here's my latest update:
Dual mishimoto le gold coolers, they will fit like a pair of oem coolers and 90 degree fittings are first installed to the filter housing then the line fitting needs to be changed to a straight and routed around the core unlike the previous design of the engine lines going under this will be safer for us lowered guys and the airguide won't have to be trimmed, I'm leaving the bigger surface area cooler on the engine side of things since it was already used in the process..
