The front end really needs an emblem!

 

No wings, no emblems - keep it as sleek and mean as possible - Beautifull David

 

Awesome pix David. Thanks for sharing!

 

a larger mouth opening to cool the intercooler and the radiator. I would hate to see your car detonate or overheat, but I guess that with $35k, you've already taken precautionary measures Awesome car!!

 

There isn't enough room for a V-mount using the "Pettit-style" 20B conversion. Sits too far forward.

 

Yea that's what I was gonna say. You'd have to move the engine back a bit (till it touches the firewall) at the least, if not move it back through the firewall to free up enough room for a V-mount. Setting something at an angle takes a lot more distance than vertically.

 

beautiful car, it gives all of us somthing to look foward to.(when i win the lottery)

 

good point...forgot about that

 

Yeah I threw around the V-mount Idea but I couldn't get it to fit.

 

Besides, the car has two really large Spal fans installed to cool the radiator. I really don't think cooling is going to be an issue.

 

See my post regarding the Spal fans for the radiator. As for the intercooler, Pettit had a difficult time heat soaking the engine during tuning (Cam wanted to see how the car/Wolf performed with heat soak). It took him quite a bit of time to get the car to the point of heat soak. I could keep my hand on the intake plumbing/pipes and feel the cool air coming in from the intercooler.

This was way different from my old setup.

 

Yeah I know but you how we like to be different

 

I would have agreed with you about a year ago. I removed the emblem then and never got around to putting it back on the car. I kind of like the stealth look of it. It also makes people do a double take and ask what kind of car is that? Of course they can find that out from the back end.

 

Get Efini emblems. You'll still get the double-takes, and the car will look more "factory". I agree that the front end needs an emblem, or else it looks too "kit car" (not yours in general, all of them).

 

holy **** your car is hot. i was thinking of trading in my 04 tl for a corvette z06 but now you got me all confused. zo6 or dump more money in the money pit. damn this forum. If i never discovered it my **** will still be stock. thanks alot david kvn

 

Just wondering David.


Are you an Auburn grad?? Are you from AL?? By the way, Beautiful car!!
Hope my 20b turns out as well as yours..

 

not from alabama, but an auburn grad (old guy, 1984). made it up to "god's country" for a few games this year as well as the sec championship. war eagle!!

 

always glad to add to your confusion! stick with the fd - if you go corvette, you'll need to buy lots of gold chains and a smoking jacket!!

 

more vids please!

 

David david, simply georgious.

99spec tails could look very nice, imagine seeing those 4 circle lights at night, so low to the ground and separated from each other...as that Z06 taunts you from behind...he won't know what hit em!

Liscence plate?

IPWNALL "I own All!"

NVMY20B "Envy My 20B"

OMGIHTBRITSRN "Oh my god I have the best Rx7 in the states right now!"

 

How about putting it very simply: "550HP20B," "20B FD," or "3 ROTOR" lol. Heck, you could even do "$35K 20B." I'm sure that would get the point across VERY well.

 

Mine says FEARED. I think that would fit your car as well.

 

I love the last one

 

OMG............ These are my favorite shots............... God bless your car!

 

Thanks for all of the great comments on the car. I can't wait to go to Pettit for the final tuning. Will definately post more video at the beginning of next year.

Thanks for all of the license plate ideas - you are all very creative!!

As for the 99 spec rear lights, I'm still thinking about them. We'll see. I keep going back and forth on if I want to do the conversion.
