So let's talk about cutting it real close! The car is supposed to get shipped today for LA @ 11am and the boys and I stayed up 2 night in a row! Actually had zero sleep haha
The first time we fired the car up since the project started was at 10:15am today! Im super glad we actually ended up pulling it off!
Still some issues we have to sort out in LA but I'm just glad it's done!

Out Of Control!!
Do you think the placement of the meth nozzles may distribute the meth unevenly between cylinders? Interesting decision on intake setup.
Nice work! Came out looking good

wow - did you have time for some tuning?
I like the design using the OEM style tapered surgetank into the new IC and downpipe sections...
Where have you put IAT/MAP sensors? Dont they both have to be moved post IC for ECU to read right air volume/flow?

Nice build. Your hearders are top notch and the top-mounts are sick.
Just imagine the whine this thing must make with that filter set up. Please post a clip whenever you have time.
Do you have any plans to get some cool air to that filter? Maybe some tubes from the front, or is a nice hood mod in the works?

Man, I have to give you mad props for pulling this off. Those Top mounts and LT's look top top notch. I cant wait to hear about your results.
I'm assuming Jeremy will be tuning it once it gets to LA?

Stevebez, you can see in thew picture of the surge tank, that the map sensor is located on the rear of it.

An Airbox is in the works at this moment, and what we have so far is a mock up of stock pipes from the front of the car "both sides" into a 3.5 Flexi Tube going right in front of the filter. (Looks like a NASCAR)With the deadline to finish the car in time for Famoso that's the best we can do so far. BUT like is said the airbox is already in the works, its just completed yet! (Fiberglass takes time to dry

We were so rushed to finish and with only 45mins left after the FIRST time of firing up the car and checking if everything was ok, I had to drive from Canada to WA state to deliver my car to the truck driver... haha Let's just say 1.5 hour drive turned into a 30min sprint!

Looking great Quinton.... I may just travel down to LA to attend the tuning session with you guys. I am very impressed with the quality of the work done and level of dedication you've put into this project

You are more then welcome to join us, I'm still not sure "when" the tune will happen; but, I'll keep you updated for sure!
Trust me, there were times when I really had doubts whether or not we will finish, but in the end the REAL props should be given to the shop. They truly did an amazing job in an extremely short period of time. With something like this especially R&D they pretty much got everything worked out on the first try! So PROPS TO THEM!

As ExoticMetal pointed out they are at the back of the Top Mounts and they are Post IC
Got it - nice!
This is a very clever setup... and surprised this layout has not been looked at before.....but if I may ... one criticism...?
The finish of the setup would have been AWESOME if they just filed down the welds a touch and neaten that finish off a bit ... would really just add that extra bit of kudos.

Jeremy tuned this car will be balistic. Cant wait to see the track results.
Question: What size pulley did you decide to go with?

I'm around fabrication just about every day. Not by choice so much, but it makes you develop an eye for craftsmanship... And, just by looking at something you know how long something takes to make. Each bend, each test fit, each re-bend, each tack weld, until its just right. I will say this, There are a truck load of man hours, on these top mounts. IMO, it payed off. The fabricator who made these has some talent. There are a lot of things going on with these TMIC.
One thing I've learned, is not to endorse a product until I have put it in my hands... however these TMIC look really friggin good! Really, fantastic work Shango. Making your ideas become reality especially when parts don't exist, its hard to do. You've made that happen and my hats off to you.
Again, really fantastic work to you and all that where involved

This is true,
Curtis and Alex at the speed syndicate are amazing to work with.
They built my exhaust by hand and everyday when I get in to my car,
I have this grin on my face on how satisfied I am.
To this day my exhaust is still impressing me by the note.

Did you find anything fun to do? Rain sucked today, especially for a 300 mile drive. I hope you make the 4th. I mean, car is here.. right?

I was just up for the day, and headed back to San Diego for (ugh) work tomorrow. Are you going to come back on the 4th for Famoso? I sure want to see you fabrication work first hand, and see that bad boy run. Have fun and stay out of trouble!
