Current progress on the Setrab 960 install. Massive kudos to @GAR944 for the help with the shroud design and CAD files. Almost done and ready for first start to check for leaks. This is my first major project with fabrication involved. Been super fun and learning a lot!

Another ambitious project earlier this year especially for a one car garage - cortex RLCA (their core exchange program is awesome) and Kelltrac diff bushings. What a difference, my diff bushings were fully shot and the rear end felt unpredictable at times - who would have thought 130lbs of cast iron moving 3/4” left right up and down would impact handling

Finished the oil cooler install today! Need to put it all back together and figure out some more ducting for the radiator.
First start was a success! No leaks and we have oil pressure!

First time at Laguna Seca last weekend. What a frigging track. Honestly true bucket list box checked for me. Had an amazing day. Focused on learning the line and track and progressed well through the day. Temps were great 225F real coolant, 230F oil and 240F cylinder head temp max. Hopefully last piece is hood vents to drop the CHT’s.
