Here are some shots from the latest FD we are working on. V-Mounted A'PEXi GT twin core FMIC converted to V-mount. Relocated koyo radiator. Custom ducting. 60-1 Garrett T04S. Polished stainless downpipe, midpipe with magnaflow muffler and HKS CF/TI catback. PowerFC. Only shooting for 350rwhp on 91 octane pump gas. Enjoy.

Will do oooorah! Come by the shop and check it out. John is going to do some blockage of the couple openings in it. Like in the second pic on the right you can see where the radiator is weird shaped and there is a hole air can get through. This is a really good setup for cars that get hot. Calvin Wan's FD in Vegas at D1 a couple weeks ago didn't get hot at all, and it was 124F!

Looks pretty good Dave. Why did you guys decide to leave the fuse bracket and duct around it?
Seems like if I were going to go through all the work you did on that job. Then lenghthening a few wires to get it out of the way entirely would have made good sense, no? If not that then even running the duct completely over the top of it seems like a better option then the gaps you have around it now.
