Love what you are doing! I am wondering if something like this would work for around town? then with the straps it would be easily removable when you hit the track. Could even add a bikini top (like a Jeep) for a little sun and occasional rain shower protection. Any thoughts would it work. Manufacturer says it's good till 65 MPH....obviously not a highway solution but around town would be nice to keep the bugs out of the teeth. v  |

I love that lower windshield solution. If you want to share the clamp information, I'd certainly do something similar

Those are fantastic. Definitely going to pick up a kit and do a similar lexan piece. |

The wing looks awesome on the race chassis.
Greg, since you do powder-coating, did you ever consider coating the exhaust in black ceramic?

That coating doesn't do much. I have the hot side of the turbo wrapped and will be wrapping the down pipe too.

I was thinking more from an aesthetic perspective. The exhaust looks good, but he discoloration around the welds does bug me. I wonder if it would look good in black.

Greg, did you have to install the iat sensor bung in the silicone charge pipes or was that already done when the kit arrived?

They have a threaded fitting already installed in the pipe. All you do is thread in the sensor.

Was toying with FM2 but I can do a pullout LS2/T56 for less then the cost of just the turbo kit, and sell the factory driveline/engine to pay for most of the v8 components. Was a no brainer for me

You can turbo for much cheaper than that. I've been hunting down deals for awhile. I picked up a used 2560 turbo (minimal shaft play) fm downpipe and cast manifold for 475. I will be using flying miatas silicone intercooler piping with a cheaper intercooler. Gt 500 injectors and a diy plug and play megasquirt engine management system. Add in oil lines and a turbo smart blowoff valve, wideband O2 and I have built pretty much the same thing as a fm2 kit for under 2k. Thats including iconel studs.
