crappy phone pic... and it might be too small... but here are my carbon shutters over each lower vent on the bumper. These were permanently riveted instead of using the tape since i didnt like how ghetto it looked and the car will mostly be tracked only from now on.

 

wow pics are soooooooooooooooooo hard to see

 

Try clicking them.

 

looks soooo sick would live to see some numbers and bigger pics.

good luck with everything

 

looks good Tom! now get some higher resolution pics up ASAP where I can see this beast!

 

yeah i was patient enough to wait for a real camera. These were crappy phone pics w/ no flash,

I'll do it some justice later once everything is done and put up quality pics before we take it to the dyno for tuning.

 

are you going to get the ILR models to model on the car?

 

lol... well, here's some more crappy phone pics after a late night of fabrication. I promise I'll get a real camera soon... but for those as eager to see what we've been up to today here ya go...

 

click on them to make them larger... the 1st pic is the end tank on the Garrett intercooler core. All pieces cut and tig welded in house along w/ the aluminum elbow which houses one of the ends of the Hargett QDC clamps. (the other end has the o-rings) Both end tanks are identical w/ the clamps facing to the motor. Again, we are not using couplers on this car. These are extremely flexible due to the o-ring design.
The 2nd pic shows the new catch can system that Huy spent all day fabricating. Its basically a 3 in 1 tank w/ dividers inside. Part of it will be for the -10 lines coming from the valve cover for crankcase ventilation, middle for the coolant (which will be connected to another swirl tank which will be fabbed to the water neck) the last portion will be the overflow. There is a fluidyne aluminum mini radiator which will have its original neck removed w/ a -16 line going to the swirl tank which then eventually runs to the thermostat and motor itself. I'll post more once the other parts are complete.
Next up will be fuel system, which we hope will be completed next week... then tuning time!
I don't think there are too many street evos out there w/ this much in house fabrication under the hood. Other than the boomba throttle body... everything was made at Inline Racing. The evo has all legal tags, full interior, glass, even spare still in trunk, LOL...

looking good Tom! (I was referring to you car, settle down)

 

hahaha!! thx bud! yeah i can't wait to get it started up on Q16 and see what it can do.

 

here's a pic of the swirl tank that will link the radiator to the water neck. also connects to catch tank.

looking good already...love watching these builds.

 

Thx Tribal! The car won't be breaking any land speed records soon ... but hopefully we'll have a nice streetable 9 sec Evo(for now) w/ alot of original parts fabricated right here in Texas, under the hood!

 

some more AN fittings on and some brackets to hold items fabbed up. The braided lines will be cut soon and the fittings for the valve cover. Then the fuel system and we'll be ready to tune the AEM ems!
