That car is so far beyond street legal for this state.

I did say sreet driven and registered, but not legal
. 80% of highly modified cars round the world would not be "street legal"

I have to say I love the fact that you welded your rad to eliminate 50% of the fail points in the coolant hose department. That would have saved me and Kevin Landers a day when we fabbed up some **** to make my cross flow rad fit. I plan on doing that this summmer. Also where did you get the purple ring around the turbo? I see that often and would like to pick one up.

For race cars running solid motor mounts, it's alright due to zero flex from the engine.
The radiator hoses are designed to flex when the engine rotates.
Longer the hoses, the less stress on all components.

Who cares if it's street legal, as long as it's registered is all that matters

Well done on running the low 9!!!
I look forward to seeing you run high 8's soon!
I'll have to be there next time to get the beast on camera.
It's funny how people freak out when they see that thing on the street!
PS - When are we going to finish putting my car together so we can both cruise?

Its a HKS product, im surprised they aint popular in the U.S. Its a bellmouth which is designed to improve airflow. You see similar things on top of N/A injection or webers.

Beautiful car!
