She is still in early development stages,
Next stage is to rip appart the rear end as we have tubular frames and rose jointed arms plus ATL fuel cell. Also debating on a gear kit for the 5speed to save weight or gearset in a 6 speed casing. Also cusco diffs throughout.
This should set up ready for the new engine
Done few more events in her as well for some seat time
Will keep any one who's interested updated lol

The core is a rotated toyo sports cooler and the pipe work is custom made, one from alloy the other from stainless, routed under the headlamps for more direct and less bendy route lol
And thanks for the comments :-)

what do you mean by rotated? as in 90degrees or just like at a funny angle to better suit pipework? again mega jealous!
As In normally the pipe work will enter either side of the core at the bottom, but this one is technically upside down to shorten and tidy the look of the cooler pipes

Loving the detail on this build. It's a while back, but where did you get your carbon rear firewall & parcel tray? I'm looking for one very similar. Same with your silicon intake pipe
Have you have the car on the scales?

The carbon firewall and shelf i got from rallytech (not cheap tho :-/ )
Silicon intake was custom made by SFS reinforced more to stop it collapsing under boost
Car hasn't been on the scales yet due to the fact there's still a lot more weight saving to do!
I.e boot coming out, rear frame, even looking at possibly using FRP rear doors etc
