Saw a lot of teaser photos on your Facebook! It is looking insane!

Lack of progress in the last couple of weeks due to the fact that I've moved the car over into a shop space. More room for activities!

Been a bit. Just some recent progress. Scrapped the widebody stuff due to the expenses and insane downtime.

Haven't seen your build since you cut the vents in your fender. You are one insane MoFo. Love the role cage. How much weight did it add?

Thanks! I think a little bit around 75lbs. I still am extending it to the rear end since I cut off so much sheet metal and frame. So it will balance itself out especially with how the wing mounts will be incorporated.

Improving last front end cooling and stuff. Previously The radiator was slanted to the top mounting points on the bumper. This time I will be at around 15* slant to the lower bar section. Because the Nismo bumper has a smaller grille I'd like the rad to fill up the entire open space. 1inch square tube to save weight. Duct panels will be aluminum bent. The boxes on the left and right side are going to be carbon airboxes with carbon tubes running through the underside of the headlight since those will be just carbon covers and free up space. Air routes through naca ducts on the front bumper for those. Oil cooler won't sit there. Still deciding on where I want to mount it

If you couldn't tell I'm removing pretty much all of the stock core support and rad structure as possible for more room. Will be making my own strut bar for service-ability on track
