Thanks! I'll look into them.

**GRN6IX** · 08-02-2011 09:17 AM

Any updates on this? I was cleaning out my subscribed threads list & noticed it's been a while...

**Mr. Rictus** · 08-02-2011 09:39 AM

Oil cooler was hung over the weekend, parts were removed to backpurge and finalize welds, and the intake was notched to make room for the passenger side headlight.

What are you using as far as an oil cooler setup? Been looking into one lately so I can track the car without worrying about temps as much.

Small Earl's cooler to a sandwich plate above the oil filter.

Put the brakes on too!

**adkins** · 08-02-2011 10:51 PM

So was Greg any real help or was he just there being the swoops.

**Mr. Rictus** · 08-03-2011 06:49 AM

He's always a huge help! I can't weld so he welded the bracket for the oil cooler and tacked in the notch on the intake so the headlight can fit.

**GRN6IX** · 08-03-2011 08:21 AM

Is there an oil drain on the front of your oil pan or is that for something else?

**Mr. Rictus** · 08-03-2011 08:43 AM

That will be ground down and sealed off, it was the oil drain from the VF kit that was previously on the car.

**buck_russell** · 08-07-2011 12:30 PM

brakes look good

**bossman518** · 08-19-2011 11:04 PM

Read the while thread and love this!!! I was wondering what are the specs on the motor? If I missed them somewhere sorry, been a long day. Also pics of entire car and anything else too. I and I'm sure everyone else loves pics...

**Mr. Rictus** · 08-20-2011 09:45 AM

Check the link in my signature, I've got the specs listed there. I can't remember it all!

**bossman518** · 08-20-2011 06:56 PM

I'll have to go on a computer. It doesn't come up on my iPhone through tapatalk.

**veesix32** · 08-29-2011 11:41 PM

G'day, That is one of the best install's of seen done once up and running could you possibly post video of the car in motion, i would love to see this beast run.. Great job, Cheers....

**Mr. Rictus** · 08-30-2011 09:16 AM

I will absolutely post up vids once it's done... and it's getting closer! Intake manifold is shipping today and my ECU will be back from Jeff Atwood early next week.

**DannyLo** · 08-30-2011 11:33 AM

What intake manifold are you going with?

**Mr. Rictus** · 08-30-2011 11:36 AM

I got one from Jeff Atwood, United Motorsports.

**spitfire481** · 08-30-2011 09:35 PM

**Mr. Rictus** · 10-05-2011 05:57 PM

**buck_russell** · 10-05-2011 06:01 PM

unacceptable.

**Mr. Rictus** · 12-01-2011 08:58 AM

Surprise!

Hardlines by Swoops

Swoops!!! Crankcase vent tubes, twins of course.

Better shot of some of Swoops handiwork:

Coolant lines sorted

Aeromotive A1000 pump mounted. I hate red.

We haven't forgotten about the car! The exhaust is almost finished as well...

**Navydub** · 12-01-2011 10:29 AM

Love the wiggins style clamps on the charge pipes. Wish I had done that to mine. I ****ing hate silicone couplers popping

**Riggy** · 12-01-2011 12:07 PM

Those welds are gorgeous. Love the hardlines too. What kind of seats are those?

**Medic83** · 12-01-2011 02:09 PM

That Swoops guy is overrated!!! Looks good Nick

I hate the way silicone couplers look! It's something that aggravates me about nice cars...

Tyrolsport Greg is a great fabricator/tuner/guy, I'm very lucky to have him working on the car. The seats are Recaro Sportster CSs.

Indeed he is, always speaking in the third person when he works on a car...

Thanks man. Though from what I hear, it'll still be much slower than your Jeep.

**RBPE** · 12-02-2011 12:02 PM

Bit of fabrication porn, nice one

**Mr. Rictus** · 01-03-2012 11:59 AM

Tyrolsport Greg sure can weld... Shots of the almost finished air-to-water intercooler are here.

**chaffe** · 01-08-2012 03:14 PM
