Default Project Indigo

Just thought I'd post photos of my project. I have tinted the windows, added luxlink, installed magnaflow exhaust and Zex nitrous kit. I am working on a mold for the c pillar to hold some gauges, relocating my battery to the rear and putting the Rotora big brake kit up front.

The car is officially in the hands of Swift Racing Technologies (SRT) for a custom supercharger kit. I will post photos as it progresses. Approx time is 6-8 weeks.

Steve Ganz is waiting to ship my Tom's carbon fiber hood and Wald Streifen S13 wheels. Currently they are stuck in Japan waiting for shipment.

Hopefully Henry would be kind enough to post photos on this thread.....I still cant reduce them enough to post myself.

I have photos of my stock car, the cpillar gauge pod I made, the luxlink wire within the cpillar, and the zex bottle and wire for the rear battery relocate.

Good news! I talked to Mo about using my car to develop some things for our cars. He is going to do some baseline testing on his dyno and hopefully have an official SRT tuned intake for the SC430. I will try to video the dyno testing. It would be interesting to see the rwhp of these things. Update soon....

Nice 430, you pulled on the C5 w/spray right? Bet he wasn't expecting that.

Can't wait to see the finished project.

Yeah, I'm hoping Mo will let me make a couple of pulls with the N20 to see what that output was..

Herrage, the cpillar isnt completed yet. I'm still fiberglassing to get the correct fit. The upholstery shop has a sample of the pleather and will match. I painted the fiberglass for the mock up. I figured I would mount the sensors in the engine bay after Mo was done taking everything apart.

That looks like a sweet project. Do you know what kind of supercharger Mo will put in. Maybe this will inspire him to put together another S/C kit for the 400/430 motor
