Who are your going to run against in TTS? Did anyone enter in the NE last season? Or is Tim moving too?

John Robbins ran TTS last year and will run TTS this year. Tim will probably move to TTS and some others might move to TTS also. i just want more freedom modifying car.

Nice headlight duct, looks great! I will probably end up doing the same once I remove my ACD stuff. What did you use to seal the headlight once the duct was installed so it doesn't leak?

^ i use black RTV silicon sealant. just put a bead round the flange and squish it in, then wipe of the excess.
here's some description https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ight-duct.html

why are you removing ACD, or relocating? i wouldn't mind relocating it to the back for better weight distribution.

i have this Setrab 40 row oil cooler but it's going to take some modding the rad support to fit it. i didn't have time so i just put the stock one up front for now.

tap this Defi oil temp sensor into oil drain plug because i had to use the port on the oil filter housing for FP oil feed line for turbo.
