I'm doing some work on the air inlet as Tom is using the Vivid Air Box. This essentially has a box on each side. We are going to make it so that air is inlet into each side instead of just one side.....

600 hp, JRZ's, Brembos, 2wd, another 100lbs less and A LOT more down force with less front end lift! Holy smokes!!! This is going to be one ridiculous track car.

Make sure to post pics of this. It sounds really cool Bob!

BTW: Tom you are going to paint that CF hood right?

mind asking where you bought all those parts? how about the decklid and the hood mostly.

thanks

edit: ok, saw it's from gettydesign, how was your experience with them? looks a lot like the catalog of GT racing also.

looks great, tom! Do you happen to know if that company makes the CF hood makes one that looks like the 993 hood with the vent toward the windshield? It looks like your hood fits quite nice compared to some others I have seen. I cant wait to hear your impressions on the track after the install of those aerodynamics, should be fun!

Thumbs up Gorgeous.
Love the carbon hood. Get a clear bra to protect the finish from rocks.

The wing is huge, but it has a purpose.

Where is Lexan rear window coming from? I am also looking for Lexan door windows if anyone has any leads.
Aero will make a significant difference in potential lap times.Will wait with interest on how it feels.
