Looks pretty good, got any specs to share?

Most specs are very similar to our previous cars.
Here are a few of the differences.

We made some changes to the chassis layout.
widened the front cockpit 4 inches
designed new style boxed arms (will retro with previous sidewinders)
split floors
sub floors
storage under seats
2 piece skid
went to 2.5 res coil shocks on the rear
res coils on the front
lowered the trans
redesigned a lot of the tabs and brackets
went from 1 5/8 4130 to 1 3/4 4130
designed a motorplate and hung the motor
raised the shifter for comfort.
sequential albins
Perked up ls2 in this one.
dual UMP'S
Tilt and telescopic collapsible steering
934's dual boot setup
tranny and oil cooler

What are the coolers for under the rear seats? where do they get air?

What are the coolers for under the rear seats? where do they get air?

The coolers are trans and oil.. we have had them there for years and they work just fine there .. the trans fan kicks on once in a while when the car is really working and the oil temps run normal.

Some cars that run harder and require more air I use a radiator with dual heat exchangers that works well for that application.

3123 # with seats and belts.. body.. fuel and a spare yet to go.

60/40 ish Front Rear weight bias.. cross overs less that 5lb difference.

Your car will be a tad bit lighter due to tubing size etc but should be close..
