Does OP have DEI sponsorship?
DEI? I don't think I'm familiar.
They make heat protection products. I hear it is easy to get sponsorship from them and it will protect things from heat on track. They really like to support the fast HPDE drivers.

Are there any products from them in particular that you'd recommend looking into? Having some sponsorship for the upcoming season would definitely be nice, thanks for the info.

Chase, DEI has a lot of great products to help with heat. You should check out the site to see what you're looking for.

on my F20, I ran the header wrap and still kept the factory heat shields. I also wrapped my intake with the reflective tape.

Did you happen to log any data before/after you wrapped the intake and header? I've always been curious how much of a difference that actually makes on IAT's in real world conditions.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though, it looks like they make some pretty useful stuff.

Just a little update on the bodywork situation:



Here's what my car looked like for the majority of yesterday

And a few shots of the new parts: Voltex Street front bumper w/ Race chassis mount splitter and Downforce fenders.

This thing is absolutely massive

Fenders + splitter on the car

I forgot to take pics of everything once it was finished, but I think I may just wait until it goes in for a wrap next week and do a photo shoot afterwards. Aside from the triple-mismatched color scheme going on, it looks pretty badass and I'm quite sure it's going to look like a new car after the wrap.

The new fenders are awesome too, finally no more clearance issues and the wheels aren't nearly as sunken in as I was expecting. Fitment still looks great and there's room to grow into some 275's as well.

The race splitter is absolutely absurd to drive with on the street, you will scrape on everything. It literally took us 15 minutes and a near 90° approach angle to get the car out of Evasive's driveway and I'm pretty sure there's no way I can get in and out of mine without some 2x4's now. I'm not sure how some guys run this setup on the street, it's just asking for trouble.

I'm headed back to ACS next weekend to feel out the car again and hopefully make it through an entire day this time. The car should be pretty balanced at this point at higher speeds but I'm probably going to look into a stiffer front anti-roll bar to dial out some of the oversteer on corner entry.

Will update with more pics soon! Any final votes for white vs dark gray?

Awesome update! Looking forward to seeing how the car will turn out after the wrap. Have you decided what color to go with?

And I agree with you on how people drive on the street with the Voltex race bumper, it must hurt to constantly scrape up a $3k bumper haha

If you driving this car on the street, and just doing HPDE in it..... why did you do the race splitter?

It's a race splitter. You ONLY install it at the racetrack. Plenty of people fit 275s under OEM fenders including me.
