How was the R8? I drove it at Road Atlanta at a ALMS event and was impressed. It is actually the exact same engine as my car. However, i have a few "tricks" in my bag;). I would have gotten as much time as possible in the R8, Lambo, and GT-R as they are all-wheel drive and it looks like a slick day.

Just curious and this is not intended to be a shot at you at all. I assume most of the people attending these events have very seat time in high performance vehicles such as these. I know that when I am on a track I have a 5 poitn harness and helmet at least and if I am doing some back road driving I at least wear the 5 point harness as it is a quick disconnect (read DOT approved) model. Are there any safety measures at these events such as harnesses in cars or requiring drivers to wear helmets?

EDIT: Is that a 300C V-6? That seems a little out of place among these foreign rides.

Back on topic:
You build is coming along great. Not get this thing done and get some numbers for it.

I actually loved the R8. It was a very slick car that was very responsive. It was much better than I expected it to be and just loved to be driven hard.

As far as safety measures everything was stock. No helmets or 5 point harnesses. We weren't out racing but just enjoying the cars. I think if we got pulled over and were wearing a helmet it might just look a bit too suspicious. A lot of the guys were just car enthusiasts, some owned some very nice cars, but most were just guys like myself that had never had the opportunity to drive such cars.

No worries about the off topic, that's what build logs are all about. :)

Next weekend my wife heads out of town so I'll have more time to finish it all up and hopefully take some really nice pictures of the 2 cases together.

There is more development on the TJ07 build, some very good news that everyone will see soon enough. It should be great.

Ha ha, just kidding guys, that's just an old picture of it. But yes, Cuplex Pro and a flow meter. :)

I'm not going to be using the flow meter/killer or the Cuplex Pro but should have the V2000 completed shortly. I've got it running and flowing, I just need to complete the wiring and install the Aquaero. :)

The TJ07 bomb is incoming soon enough. Got to get ready for it. :):):)

I think you're right. I'm screwed for a while, but I was thinking of planning a trip next year, a little surprise. It's so secret I don't even know where we're going yet. :)

I have this machine (the V2000) almost complete. I will probably sleeve the wires to tidy it up a bit, and install a few more fans in needed areas, but it's about done. I'll install the Aquaero shortly and get that going.

Here are some preliminary almost complete photos:

Thanks!!

Feser 3/8" ID tubing. It's pretty nice, a little darker than I would have liked, but it's still pretty nice.

I'm going to use Primochill LRT 1/2" Black tubing on the TJ07. The V2000 and MM UFO are going to be boring compared the the TJ07 coming up. I'm stoked! :)

Is the lighter blue 1/4" then...just looks a bit bigger for some reason. :shrug:

Can't wait to see the TJ07!!!

I laugh every time I look at this now. LOL

Nice work here BlueAqua - I have been silently watching this thread and the two previous builds are great - but I am really keen to see what you do with the TJ07 and I have an inkling of what is in store for us based on the quality of the last two.;)

Keep up the good work :up:

Don't do it!! You might get the bug like I have. I build machines for no reason but the joy of the build. I do have a lot of fun doing it though.

Your TJ07 is the cool one. Mine is nothing right now, just plain ol boring. Hopefully it'll be nice like yours is.

As soon as I saw the Cuplex HD I wanted one like a kid in a candy store. I'm hoping Skinnee wants one and I can just stop by his house and get my fix. We'll see, maybe a little group order will have to be put in place.

I was hoping you were going to post in my thread. I think you're going to like the 3rd build maybe more than the first two. I'll try not to let you down. :)

I have Aquaero installed and everything is working great. I haven't hooked up any temperature sensors yet but will do when I have a chance and have it properly planned out.

I just need to install the rear fan, but was missing the necessary screws. My good friend Skinnee is going to hook me up there, what a guy!! :)

Here are some pictures of an almost complete project:
