Come on guys. Get with the program. I would get one, but I already have one.

phunk · 06-09-2015, 03:43 PM

We made it to 20 today with a new buyer!

I will leave the one unpaid deposit on the list for now, and close pre-ordering.

Lol give the man a minute. I bet it's a pan a day if that. It's gotta be several hours plus per pan.

I sure hope to get them done faster than that!!! I will be refining the programming as I go, and tomorrow Im going to overnight a couple different tools for the CNC that can speed it up. I also activated a (paid) option in my machine that allows it to accept higher feed rates for this project.

Currently everyone owns a 30 lb brick of aluminum!

I will have the production running some time this week.

I was just looking at the renderings of the pan and noticed that the vertical baffles have no corner radius where they meet the bottom of the pan. Are the vertical baffles solidly machined into the bottom of the pan or are they fastened in place with the socket head screws? If they are machined in place, shouldn't there be a corner radius to prevent fracturing at their base?

phunk · 06-15-2015, 09:03 PM

Yup its one solid piece, and nope its totally fine, no way its going to fracture.

Its very strong... probably thicker than you are imagining. Also, the baffle plate ties it all together.

cdoxp800 · 07-06-2015, 07:54 PM

So, any up dates?

phunk · 07-06-2015, 09:28 PM

In the CNC, machining them!

phunk · 07-07-2015, 09:53 PM

While you guys are patiently waiting, I will share a couple pics I just took off my phone. Heres some showing the prototype test fit to my Z.

The purpose of this was to verify the bolt pattern before production, and to double check height versus the crossmember. The front-on picture isnt the clearest but if you look carefully you can see the crossmember is well lower than the pan.

phunk · 07-07-2015, 10:00 PM

Here are some more photos showing fitment to an extra upper pan I have, showing a little more detail inside and out.
