Can't wait to see the air ducts in CF!!!
I'm keeping an eye out for the 82mm TB. Then the manifold and do the airbox mod = watch out 500s Karo is coming for you

Yeah Cale says he's working with Jeremy at OE to work at the car running a little lean from the new manifold and TB. Think that was the only issue with the swap. You get your calipers painted yet?

Very nice Karo! Good color combo. I'm glad you like the H&R springs. So now onto more hp for your car! Do the little intake mod you'll feel better top end.

Damn TB is soo expensive ($8xx new and I can't find one used). I'm thinking of renting a 550 and swapping out the TB with mine

ok I figured out two ways to do my heat shield... ones a cheapo way using a rubbermaid trash bucket and chopping it to make the box shape or using aluminum and lining the side facing the engine with foil insulation. I think I'll do the aluminum way and put another aluminum sheet on the other side pancaking the insulation and then spraying the box with some exhaust paint or coating.
