This manifold we’re replacing with a simple pipe. Boxeer’s standalone is a simplified system without EGR or PDF. It has two electrically operated throttles that are no longer functioning with the removal of the emissions stuff.

Stripped and in the dirty shop for body repairs. We need to fabricate some stuff before paint too. I think we’re all in agreement on 50% gloss dove blue?

Stuff to fab/fit.

-battery mount. Need to check rules on where they like to see it mounted and where the kill switch should be. Odyssey 925 battery looks like a good one? Surely there is some new  lightweight lithium ion type battery available somewhere. I know those smart batteries are small.

-navigation and communication mounts

-fuel cell/fill

-misc safety items and spares/tool mounts

Just ordered $650 worth of tubing, bends, boots, clamps, and a muffler. I made some technical drawings for flanges to accommodate our custom manifold. Feels good to be making progress.

Good info. I read something about the silhouette too. How is your car looking? Did you get the beam in?
