Oh I plan on it. That's why it's a teaser pic... It's a jumbled mess of lines and wires right now. I gotta make it look Photo purdy first.

Glad to see someone is re-doing the wiring. Get some nice connectors. The setup really looks nice though. How much meth do you go through when your on the track.

I use about a 1/3rd of a gallon for an easy out lap, hot lap, and easy cool down lap. I'd say about 1/4 of a gallon a hot lap, maybe a tick less. This is based on sebring so a 3.7 mile lap.

Alright, got most of the bigger gaps filled and put wing nuts on to make it a snap to have on and off. Just need to figure out a way of sealing up the corners. I'm thinking some door molding rubber or something of that sort should do the trick perfectly. lemme just say, Jeff did a fantastic job designing this from scratch without even the right car to measure from. Very impressed! Can't decide if I should leave it be or cover it in a speaker box like material. Decisions.....
