Looks pretty blingy! Is that the regular size or the new monster size?

Very nice!! Where did you pick that up at? Can we see a shot of the IC? Are you planning on tracking the car at all? Is that the air ducting for the IC in that pic? Sorry never seen one out of a car yet! Thanks Dave

The Idea is to Build a really "Clean" looking car, with eventually "0" Logos/Stickers except the Efini ones....
With the intention of having fun, it's not going to be a show car, to much Angst, and not primarily a Track car.. too much wear and tear... so it's a "For My own Enjoyment" car...

I imagine they are there to help keep the couplers secured.

Yeah, they're to keep the silicone couplers from slipping off the ends, when the clamps are on... and to give the clamps some resistance....

Looks good. Do you have any intake temp info for YOUR car from before so we can see the difference the new IC makes?

I will try to get some... can you tell me if my Oil / Water Temp Sensor will do or should I get something like a weather thermometer to push in there !? I hear the Water Temp sensor isn't accurate except in fluids... I don't quite know why but maybe this is the place to ask !
