Geoff told me that he doesn't offer sponsorship and currently has no car sponsored under full-race...?

Eric is in charge of sponsorship and Geoff has short term memory loss Once the manifold setup is on, the Full-Race stickers go on.

No luck needed on molding the corners You just have to do a mock up and plan it out and use good quality carbon fiber. The carbon fiber I chose wraps around corners perfect!

I'm going to start cutting this weekend and welding next weekend. One road block with the titanium tube has been getting it cut to my standards so I can weld it properly.

Round one with the carbon fiber lay up. This is after 2 coats and no sanding and the ornament plate is not stuck on yet.

How long did it take you to strip the paint off the intercooler? What did you use? I wanna try do the same!

About 30 minutes....just buy some sprayable paint stripper

[archaeic_bloke]

nvm the paint on the intercooler, your CF work is amazing....lookin good, keep up the hard work.

I redid the cam pulley cover and the coil pack cover because I wanted them to look better, so here's the result. There is a slight pool of resin on the coil pack cover and a few more air bubbles I have to sand out.

Looks really good. Great creative idea.

More tire= more better!
