Amazing build.... I can't believe how light it is!

I have yet to drive a car with the new TKX.... do you have any feedback on how smoothly it shifts compared to a T56 Magnum?

Car still isn't driving. We are finishing up the oil/cooling plumbing, then wiring harness, cage, and a driveshaft. At that point we can start doing some testing. Hopefully soon :)

Some progress on the dry sump/oil cooer setup. The oil should have no problem staying cool on this car. I was debating whether or not it needed a cooler because of the dry sump system. The oil will cool as it's routed to the dry sump tank and back to the engine. The dry sump tank is also mounted up front behind the passenger headlight so it will get plenty of airflow.

My biggest concern for cooling is the TKX transmission. Do you think I should install a trans cooler? The car will see 20-30 minute track sessions, mostly HPDE stuff initially. My second concern was the rear differential. I think we are just going to run a trunk mounted catch can as a starter and go from there.

I know I've read that Stielows builds utilize trans & differential cooling based off of temp data pulled after track sessions.
I would prob plan for them (better to have & not need vs. need & not have).

I think that sound advice. Better to have than not have.
