Designing new fan shroud for lower profile Spal fans, oil can bracket design and built a master cylinder heat shield:

Thermostat housing is hitting the IAC housing so I need to raise the plenum, which causes the top of the TB to smack the hood brace (see baking powder playdough mark on said brace........get me a cutoff wheel:

My,my you have really got it going on, superb work. Very,very nice indeed .

Installing GNX wheelhouse extensions this week, this solves my problem of the front tire smacking the upper part of the wheel well, mine had lots of rub marks. I bought the kit from member Xray, he hand-fabricates each one, mine fit perfect.

Fan shroud fabricated, installed Spal fans, built mounting frame for water tank and insulated. Ran separate oil feeds to the turbos. Need to mount a heat exchanger and run A/C lines. Getting close to handing it off to a pro for exhaust system fab and the initial engine firing and dyno tuning.

Little progress, undercoated the GNX front fender mods, finished closing off trunk, rolled the front and rear fenders, installed the WTA heat exchanger.

Hey, really nice work!

One thing I've noticed building it so far is the stock chassis is as flexible as a noodle. On a M3 or 911 when you jack them up in the front or rear the entire side of the car lifts up evenly, the GN twists like a soft pretzel. I need to have something like this done after the drive train is completed:

These are pics of a GN done by Gary Naughton Race Cars who I hope to turn loose on mine one day.

Front coilovers, designing the downpipes:



The tape works well to lock the 3" dryer hose into shape, I'm sending these mock-ups to a fab shop.

VERY NICE.

Completed DP mock-ups with 3D printed wastegate exhaust tube stubs for fab. shop to duplicate. Intake mock-up completed as well.

Stainlessheaders.com fabricated the downpipes and intake tube. I highly recommend this company, they can fab. anything and their prices are unbeatable.

Fabbed-up the air intakes, I found a 4" dia. hose exactly like the factory hose, re-enforced with steel wire, silicone. Filters behind the air dams so now I need to install ram air scoops in the air dams to directly funnel the air at the filters.
