"Got into the project and installed radiator, went to install heat exchanger with dual fans is when we ran into issues. Fans were not even close to clearing, by at least 5 inches. Contacted KB and they seemed surprised and were little help, and Rich Cottrell actually told me I would not have had...

Thanks for the picks and info, OP. Have you finished with the door(s)? I'm curious as to how much weight you cut from them.

Nice! My combo will be very similar one day. Sloooooooowly getting there. What gear? How does the xsb012 drive on the street with one end link removed? thanks

Are those 15'' wheels on front? If so, did you use 2010 brakes or aftermarket?

For you NA guys with a 4c or 5c, when are you locking the conv? What parts have you swapped to get to 3500lb? My car weighed 3640lb with no spare or jack and front sway bar removed with tubular radiator support. I'm thinking of going back to NA. Seemed like it was more fun trying to get a...

So how much boost is ALL the boost? 18-20lb? Awesome pass.

I put that one on my "build list" Wednesday. Definitely like the look.

Good info. Thanks. From the sound clips I've heard the Gt500's will most likely be the mufflers of choice when the time comes.

Well I pulled the trigger and purchased the car. It's a 2007 and it now has 161,000 on it.

With proper maintenance, what kind of service life can you expect out of these 3v motors? I'm looking at a used 2006 with 150,000 miles. Car is clean and runs good. Just wondering what to expect before a rebuild.
