Here comes the high speed built progress train . Very good progress.

How much does the exhaust runner lengths differentiate from each other?

I always thought sidewinders were equal length manifolds.

Not sure i have not had time, had my hands full with painting the inside of the car, primer is done, tomorrow hopefully is final paint

Maybe, not systematically. This one likely not. Looks there is a difference of #1 and #4 of around 100 mm.

heheh, yea it helps having good protective gear so you don’t have to inhale that crap, tomorrow will be applying the color hopefully to finish it off and have guy coming Friday to install new windshield and back window, then the fun begins, fuel cell, power, motor, transmission is done just have to now put some hondabond on and seal it and transmission will be ready to be installed.

Definitely. I did during my paint action of the 11 hole rims of AUDI for my fuel saver project. It was a alcohol based solvent and it attacked my throat mucosa, it bled a bit. Since then the throat need a bit more care, as it lost a bit of its full throttle defend capacity, maybe it need's Hondabond 😉. Anyway, seems like a good plan as everything is already at your place, isn't it?

It's a one stage color so has clear in it, buddy of my here in town has a paint shop so he got all the goods for me, price was not cheap for this and I am thinking after this summer to do same color on the outside and bay but not 100%, for sure the bay, doors and trunk.

It would look nice if everything was that color, but it’s dark enough that you could really contrast any color choice you could think of against it. I like dark colors for leaving options open to different themes later on

Will you paint it a secend

Very nice looking hood man 🆙. What is the function of that attached fibre plate on the front (upper part of the picture)?

 

[SgtBozz]

Its just a lip, maybe from protecting the hood being slammed down, not sure.

Your turbo manifold is going to benefit from that vent, sidewinders get pretty damn hot.

 

[KBuilt]

Are you doing an intake pipe for the turbo or cutting into the hood for air supply ?

 

[SgtBozz]

No to painting the hood lol the Carbon Fiber looks and feels amazing.

The middle has a opening for air, not sure if i will utilize it yet.

Yea reason why i got the hood with opening in the middle it will be almost right by the sidewinder to supply it with fresh air.

Wiring is coming along great, re-looming all the wires from truck to front and all wiring from bay to hood, Took me couple hours to pull out old knuckles on the rear, right side one bolt froze and was a bitch getting it cut out, torched it, pounded crap out of it and nothing lol, use a sawzall 3 blades later damn thing is out, got to just test fit the new rsx type s rear knuckles and they fit perfect,

I got new rotors and calipers on the way and got already new hubs, will replace all new bushings and this time put some anti seize on the damn bolts for easy removal.
Got the rsx knuckles from junk yard both left and right for $100, new they will run for $260 each, he gave me the sensors as well.
