John,

If you go to DuPontRegistry.com and look at the SL-55's that are for sale, you will see mine...........a black '05 with at least one good pic of the frontal area that clearly shows the stock Intercooler and the 2nd Renntech Intercooler we installed in March. Car is listed with 6,296 miles on the clock.

(We had to remove the front bumper assembly to install it and the larger IC pump assy, but it was well worth the effort........car runs cool, and fast.)

Dave

John,
Try again........for some reason they listed the car twice, I just successfully pulled up all the pics with no problem.......try both ads, they are adjacent to each other.

Dave

P.S. I just checked, the first ad is incomplete, Go down to the one immediately below it.......you will be OK. First ad is a "Ghost"

Sorry, John, no assembly pics........there were only two of us and all our energy/effort went into just doing it right.

about 4.5 hours on the Pulley and 6 on the 2nd Intercooler and Larger Pump.....

We were slow, but methodical. But no pics.

Dave

P.S. Car is sold..........check to be here Friday. (Thanks for the best wishes.)

You read my mind, I do have something else planned............but I would like to keep it under wraps until the deal is actually cut.

For now, just trust me............I can only say that it will be a fun/fast car......and one that I can mod a bit, if I so desire. (I have always had an aversion to keeping my stuff "stock".)

P.S. I just sold my Turbo-Hayabusa to a good friend who races a Top-Fuel "Harley" Motorcycle for a local Shop Owner. We have an agreement that he will street-race the Turbo-Busa with my funds, and we split the winnings. Gotta build a little cash for the next project.
