Awesome seats.

Do you have any approximate timeline on this car getting its track shake down?
The 3 is raw.  Lighter than more agile.  The 6 probably feels like a 747.  And by that contrast, my STI probably feels like the Hindenburg.  So GR's are like the International Space Station.

I am currently looking for first fire up in the spring. If things go well I should be testing all summer, with any real pushing the car being the summer after.

I always enjoy the updates! This thing is a beast.

It has been a small journey getting the intercooler sorted out. Lots of looking through companies core dimensions and calculating the core's compacity. Then debating if I should just buy something off the self, but in the end I wanted to have something that was built for the car. Key thing I wanted, was to ensure the core took up as much of the bumper opening as it could, without losing some of it behind the bumper. I did not want to cut any of the bumper to ensure the core had enough air flow.

So it came down the the new Koyo racing intercooler core, CCR2810, Core Dimensions: 450mm x 131.4mm x 60mm. Once this showed up, I had a few options for end tanks, find something already made, get a fabricator to build a set or have a billet set made... I opted for the billet end tanks, to start this process I had a set designed and then 3d printed to ensure fitment was prefect. I then asked a friend to get a set made, they are the same guys that made my CF dash mount. 





















This isnt the final orientation of the cooling package, just a quick fitment check and the piping is also just a quick tape job lol.

Picked up some boost control items. I wanted to try out Turbosmart, I have used Tial for years but I really liked how compact the BOV was and the EWG fit on the same flanges so it was a win win.
