"Finished" the engine bay. I'm sure I'll find something else but for now I'm happy

Stock raditaor. I pulled it and cleaned/degreased it when I did the i/c modding. So far it seems to be doing well and we have already been in the upper 80s almost 90 here. Keeps my car around 190ish in traffic and 175ish on the interstate. Have thought about a bigger one since I have the room

Are those NT05R's or the regular NT05's? If they are regular I always found fresh NT555R's did fine in rain showers, once they wear its slip and slide.

Curious how you end up liking those Nitto's if they are the R compound. I think you will bit okay in the low rpms and start to eat them as the rpms come up.

I have tried the 555R's and just put Toyo R888R's on and they both fight for traction in second. I might give a tiny nod to the Toyo's, I suspect as the temps warm up here in Canada they may perform a tiny bit better.

Nope they are the regular NT05s, I wanted them to last longer than the Rs do. I'll be driving the car a lot and in Houston the weather doesn't usually stick to forecasts so I didn't want any drag radials with zero tread depth.

Down for another week following foot surgery so haven't been able to turn any wrenches. Doesn't stop me from ordering parts! Got a Turbo-Guard Maxx screen filter, 6an rollover valve, and 6an line/fittings coming in. The 6an stuff is to route my BBRC fuel tank vent to the charcoal filter, hoping it helps at least a little with the corn smell. I put a 1" breather on the canister output port.

Also got my ID1300s back from Eric Derr, I sent them out for flowing and cleaning. He worked his magic and got them flowing better, down to 0.0% delta static and 0.8% dynamic. They have never been ran, just sitting in an engine for the past couple years with a little bit of e85 primed into them. I didn't want them to cause an issue on the dyno later.
How do I get ahold of Eric? I need to have my injectors serviced and have only heard good things about him.

Wow, your detailed Cobra looks awesome. You did a great detailing job on it. Dark Shadow Gray really pops when it's detailed. I can appreciate a good detailing. Just had my G70 ceramic coated a little over a week ago. Takes me back to my old '03 DSG Cobra after one of my detailing jobs. Photo of my G70 after ceramic coating.

Finished up installing the carbon accents for the engine bay as well as adding some new clamps for the intake.
