Very nice progress

Aluminum welding is really hard, like welding two melted chocolate bars together.

Yeh it is Shaun, I had a go but had no clue. I just do the cutting and clean and holding whilst others weld

That looks really good. Great to see it coming together! Forgot you had an air-to-water intercooler. Looks very cool!

Thanks Will:) held of my decisions have been about how it looks so the charge cooler was a must as it looks bad ass!

Aah. Lol. Thanks. I will tell my buddy, came up with how best to make it all fit etc, and there\'s no way we could hide such a piece of art like the wastegate under the car, so it will be getting pipes straight out of the wing or bonnet, not sure which just yet.

Plumbed in WG are for pussies!!

If my car isn\'t at 110dBs I will be upset. Although with the race exhaust position it will be waaaaay louder than that! Hahaha

race exhaust position is going straight out of the wing, mega phone style. 3-5" pipe!! :evillaugh

One advantage of drag racing, they don\'t noise test drag cars. That conversation would be funny.

"I\'m sorry sir, your 500 cu in, 16 plug, twin magneto, mother of all blowers, open headered, nitro-buring Hemi funny car has failed noise testing."

If the noise police get there own way they will enforce noise limits on drag racing in the future, and make people use electric drag cars, which would be gay.

Half of the attraction if drag racings is the noise, one of the reasons blowers are so much more popular than turbos, as turbo spoil the sound
