Let’s build a race car

[fumanchu182]

peekaboo oil cooler, i see you! Have to trim the bumper

its pretty solid when bolted in. Does have some flex but thats how it be sometimes

People often forget the whole point of racing - going as fast as you can for as cheap as possible. Like seeing you reuse as many oem hellcat parts as possible and fabricating your own mounting brackets and lines

 

[fumanchu182]

Lots of progress.

Had to seal trans cooler before starting engine, otherwise would spit fluid everywhere.

Transmission cooler pt. 2

Please make sure trans cooler lines are iron clad

I could not find a better routing solution with a gravity fed pump. However, I will be building a shield around the pump as it is very close to the tire.



I have a video going up later today. @Marc W She is sitting pretty!

 

[Marc W]

Good idea on the fuel pump shield. 👍🏼👍🏼

Is the vent going to be outside? Do you have a check valve in case the car flips?

If the car flips i have bigger problems.

 

[Unholy707]

Read my mind lol and no bad ju-ju here was just wondering, thought check valve was mandatory for vent

 

[Unholy707]

Really looking forward to this man, wish I was up there we’d be best buds

Nice work, everything happens for a reason 👍

So I'm having a hard time with a lot of things right now. Parts being delayed, not arriving on time, etc... I am fully standing by the statement that the last 10% takes 90% of the time. So here is an example.

I place an order with Vibrant 8/20. Spoke with guy in shop and it should be here today 8/30. Call this morning to see if my silicone elbows have arrived. No... won't be here till next week.... Yeah well they didn't fulfill the order...

Went on Amazon, searched for 45 degree silicon elbows, read reviews, looked at photos. Overnight, will be here tomorrow morning. Same thing with Fore... It's like I try to be loyal and support outside of Amazon and then I get fucked by late fulfillment or just long waiting periods.

Anyway end of rant. Did some trick shit with LED strips, shift lights and the Holley Dominator, will be making a video later. I swear to god Monday this car will be starting.

Amazon for the W for stuff like that. I want to open a shop though that just sells fittings and hoses etc and is available 24/7 for a surcharge
