Finished up under the hood. Got the Coolant reservoir, Hoses, CAI in and capped off the breather and EVAP connections:

Did you tap the holes in the plastic filter assembly for the lexan cover or use some sort of blind fastener?

I used washers and nyloc nuts. It's a one time assembly as the whole top of the airbox comes off with four bolts...

Got the Driveshaft and Exhaust install finished up this morning:

Looks like you're getting close to firing it up. Won't be long now.

Somebody's been busy!

When I initially bought the front AP calipers, they only offered one size with normal width pads (as fitted on the FP350S). More recently they've offered wider calipers to allow endurance width (25mm) pads. So I bit the bullet and upgraded to the wider calipers for the race car. Moved the regular width AP calipers to the 350R, so the two cars can share 18" wheels and rotor consumables all round, and pads at the rear:

Nice move adding the AP brakes to your GT350R.

I have the same (FP350S AP brake set up front and rear)
Are you able to still use the same rotors and caliper brackets with the wider caliper?

Do the rear caliper stay the same standard width pad and caliper?

Rotors and brackets are the same up front. I stuck with the same, narrower rear caliper/pad as rear wear is way lower.

The front caliper is CP9668-3S7L/2S7L -- special order as there is a minor machined relief added.

AP are also going to offer rears with an integrated e-brake, similar to OE. It will use larger rear rotors than the FP350S. Not clear whether they will package with 18" wheels, and availability sounded like it was 8 weeks out, so I've gone with the 350S rears for my 350R.

Woo Hooo, getting closer to shake down!

Got a second set of tires mounted on Forgelines. The most recent version have nice branding:

I saw a photo that the FP350S cars have their model engraved in the wheel also.

Yep -- FP350S have slightly different offsets. GT4 wheels fit both GT350-R and FP350S. Not sure about the FP350S fitments on the R and GT4...

Fired the car up today, and alignment is done. Getting close

Nice car!! Whats the noise limit in your category?

Very very nice. Love the Stinger decal.

ST2 has no limit on noise, and there's no noise limit at most of the tracks I run....

Nick what rear bumper bar are you using? Ford 302S or is that GT4 specific?
