Some track day updates to my car

[DAVECS1]

Well 2018 I had a small off track incident. It screwed up a fender, the hood, and the front fascia. Time has gotten away from me but I am slowly piecing it together. I added a cowl hood for some more cooling room. Put the European front fascia on because it has a tow hook cut out factory. Added Steeda rotors, and yes I have fixed them since the pics were taken (they were on the wrong side) added brake cooling ducts. Went ahead and decided to try the Steeda front subframe, as it looks well built and light. Also got better wheels as it is suspected my other set helped contribute to my blow out on track. Last but not least I cut and painted my Strut towers for better access

When is the first track day?

 

[DAVECS1]

Have not scheduled one yet, but I like to go to the Porsche club's spring event at Putnam Park in Indiana. I think it is in April. I need to get the car to the paint shop.

RA, July 4th wknd is a great event ... can't help but wonder if you were there in 2019.

I love Road America, have not been in a while though. Pretty sure I was not there in 2019.

I finished one last upgrade for now. A battery relocation. I put together my own kit with 0 awg wire and Moroso composite battery box

I like what you've done. I'm also surprised that so few Mustang guys do a battery relocate when it comes stock from the factory with the Camaro.

Any idea how much the battery relocation kit weighs in at? That 0 gauge wire isn't light.

Not sure the weight. If I had to guess it was about 5 to 10 lbs of stuff. My big motivational factor was I wanted to upgrade my water to air intercooler and also get the tank for it off the nose of the car, that was a horrible location.
I went with big wire and stock battery for now as I have supercharger accessories and cooling accessories that I did not want to short change on power. Also I do a fair bit of software tuning on my car and I did not want to chance a dead battery in the middle of an update. I may explore lithium battery options though.

What chin spoiler is that?

 

[DAVECS1]

MMD GT350 replica from American Muscle. It does not fit the greatest out of the box. I actually purchased a base belly pan and chin spoiler. I cut the top off the stock chin spoiler and riveted it to the MMD spoiler. The base belly pan fit great and then I made a power steering cover
