      • Wow that is an amazing car. Also nice work on the turbo fans, I'm sure those were no easy feat. Did you cnc the turbo fans as one piece, or were the blades separate from the face?

          Yeah! Can we get a pic or two of the backs of the fans? Or is it a trade secret...

                    • Been a while since I've updated this thread. Slow over here during the winter with salt all over the roads. Building a very special set of wheels for this car.

                      Also debating going with the carbon airbox and Alpha N. Anyone have any experience installing and living with Alpha N setups? Aside from cost, I'm also concerned about drivability in this climate.

                      Here's an old pic from the fall. A few more weeks until we're out of this winter mess

                      The fans are one piece. We have experimented with casting and machining, as well as attaching separate fan blades. Overall, we prefer this clean look with the flat face. No rivets, no glue. I have a new prototype here that is very close to the final piece. Once they're done, we'll post up full details of the front and back, as well as what wheels and lips they'll fit.

                      Thanks everyone for the comments.

                        • A tiny bit lower and space the fronts, then it will be on point.

                          Beautiful car.

                            yea dude, this.

                            im not sure why but id love to see the fans poking out of the rim, is it possible to space them out at all? i have no idea how they attach, i can only imagine they screw into/onto the center cap center screw holdy downy thingy
