Ultimate lightweight 17x8 setup

I really like the Titanium 6ul’s. Oh boy
Edit: Tungsten

So I emailed 949 Racing today about some 17x8 4x108 63.35hb wheels. If I can get 50 other people on board they’ll make ‘em!!!

This will never happen but at least Ed at 949 was nice enough to reply.

I just sent Ed another email for him to check out this forum so who knows? 🤞

200 wheels is a tall order but they are awesome wheels - light, strong, lots of brake clearance and really well made.

Thx - I've got the front ripped off the car so perfect timing.

Or don’t. What are you tearing into the car for?

What are you wrenching on?

What are you wrenching on?

Flat bottoming the bumper cover with a custom Vegas Customs splitter and using support rods to support the whole thing with a load plate welded to a DHM tubular crash bar. Filling all the nooks and crannies with aluminum tape and abs plate to make sure all the air that gets in goes through a heat exchanger. Stiffening the floppy splitter with angle aluminum and directing the air up. Considering hood vent options.

No time and no patience to stop fab'ing to take pictures. I think that best I can manage is to keep my about page updated.

Once you put the rad in you’ll be alright

Koozy would say otherwise

Once I get some track day temp. numbers I'm going to start to block off the grill to let in just enough air and no more and extend the flat bottom to the front axel line, so getting as much heat out of the car while letting as little air in is the goal.

I'm not following...

Koozy asked for pics of something and the guy was lazy like you and he tore him a new one.

Just so you know Ive had to refill and burp my rad a few times

Not lazy (well, maybe), but just no time. I'd rather let the lap and course times speak for the fab. work.

My car will most likely never see a single lap in its entire life.....
