Some more updates on the World Challenge GT build.

Now that cage is pretty much sorted we can move on to other aspects of the build.

Fuel safe was able to build us a custom 30 gallon fuel cell based on our CAD drawings that we sent in to them. Today they shipped us the shell for some test fitting. This cell when complete will house two high volume pumps to feed the updated power plant.






We also got our hands on some very unique suspension pieces for the GT-R. As you can see they offer a much wider range of adjustment compared to their stock counterparts.









Here we have a before shot with the factory components installed



And now some after shots with the new suspension hardware.

That cell looks pretty tall! I'm guessing this car won't have much ground clearance.

Its sits pretty well in the space we made for it but the new cell does not sit really any lower than the factory one did. Just a larger volume unit that can accommodate some higher volume pumps.

Is justing using a gas lense? I'm surprised he isn't prepping the tubes prior to welding. (and back purging lol...with the quality of this build its within the realm of reason)
