Awesome pictures!
I'm thinking about building a front splitter to mount on my front lip. Curious how you reinforced the front bumper for the stays?

How are you dealing with fuel starvation?

Remember that he's from the south. He only turns left.

Funny guy over here!
Go fast turn left go fast turn left go fart turn left!

The splitter rods are rigidly mounted to the front crash bar. It's just square aluminum tube and 1/4-20 all thread

Also, for now I'm just riding around with 160lbs of fuel.
I originally thought to use Charles's rrp, it wouldn't flow enough. Now the plan is to convert to a fuel cell and big external pump over the winter. It's all here in the garage but no time to work on it during the busy season

Ah now that you say that I see the holes on it.

ah yikes. I thought the RRP was upgradable up to 740lph though? couldn't imagine needing more than that.

djtodd · 07-19-2015, 07:26 PM

The new one may be, honestly I haven't kept up. But when we had the discussion, the RRP was using a special walbro 255 which was not interchangeable with larger pumps.

Looks like a whole lota fun man. Great job!

What spring rates are you running? I noticed you weren't using a rear helper spring also because I have the same coilovers.

It does but it also has a secondary pump slot that can be fitted with up to a extra 485lph. I'm going to be running the 255 for now to see if its enough on pump and add in the 340 that came with my kit if I have to.

Hotrodz · 09-02-2015, 11:14 PM

What up....

djtodd · 09-03-2015, 07:35 AM

I'm still here, just crazy work and family over the summer. Things should be settling down a bit soon.

Hi DJTODD...I would like to get your insight regarding your SPL suspension parts.

Recently I put Z1 rotors and lightweight HRE wheels on my Z and the results are AMAZING! The handling and the ability for the wheels to stick to the road have been greatly improved by what I assume is the reduction in the unsprung weight.

If I were to go to the extent you did with the amount of SPL suspension parts installed, would this significantly further the improvement I have seen so far? I am also planning on getting some KW (or similar) adjustable coilovers so I can tune the suspension as well. Would the improvement be worth the cost for a street car?
