My understanding is it will be in May 2010. See you there.

Thank you....and yes, the shields are to block direct heat from the turbo's.

I dont consider that a dumb question......Yes, AC will work. I am adding ...not removing anything.

So I saw Mike's car this weekend. took some spy shots (nothing that great though). looks pretty sick. So much custom welding for the IC and coupler ties. Motor was all mounted in the car so it must be ready to start in a few days.

They are also getting ready to a gt35 kit on a 3.5L. The stripped out GTR looked pretty sick as well, as did the caged up shop 370z. Economic downturn be damned at Forged Performance. Every lift had a car in the air and another underneath. It was club La Vela of the VQ world in there.

I'm leaving the mirrors on.

Eventually, I want to push out the rear fenders a couple of inches and get front fenders that are a couple of inches wider. I want to do it in a manner that is really clean. I have alot more thought to put into it, so that will be down the road some time.

I have a basic design of the underbody completed. Unfortunately, the 3D model that I downloaded from one of the 3D model sites has proven to be pretty worthless. Crom is able to import it into his 3D program and play with it a bit, but there are too many errors in the model for it to work with SymLab.

The 3D models of the panels that Crom generated did work, though. Crom has a pretty good 350Z 3D model. I am going to contact him to see if he can send me that to try.

On that note, I'll ask again. If anyone has a GOOD 3D model of a G35 in a step (.stp, .step) file format that they would like to share, please let me know.
