I tried to shrink the pics in photobucket for some reason they still are HUGE!! Its been running since August and I don't have any videos yet. The bottle turned into a huge hassle with a big shot and it just wasn't enough. I built the UCAs for it, planning on building lowers also soon.

How much for a set if I ordered them from you with a set of those coilovers?

edit: Where'd you get the grommet for the firewall?

Love the way this thing looks under the hood. And outside for that matter.

Now this thing is f-in bad!
Whats up with that downpipe?? Is that double walled or liquid chilled or something?? Looks like heli-arc welds on it like its aluminum??? But we all know that aluminum would just melt as a down pipe. Maybe just jet hot coated and looks like aluminum? The welds are making me think it is aluminum.

Sorry guys but Im not a sponsor on here so I cant advertise for any of my products. Don't want to step on any ones toes and I just decided to share my build as a member. The grommet is a seals-it, they are very nice and worth every penny. Its a night and day difference from the bottle. I should have swapped over yrs ago. Yes the downpipes are aluminum and don't have any issues with them melting. Its a thicker material and I have been building them out of aluminum for years. I'll take the NRE compliment, They build wicked stuff and that's what I was shooting for was a nice clean functional setup.

Good to know about the downpipes. What is the wall thickness? Any special alloy? 6061 or 7075? Again, beautiful work.

I take it the intercooler was a custom part of yours and you don't want to step on toes?
