I loaded them onto that page. You can't embed those in vBulletin.
 
Gracias !! Great to see some color video under the skin. You can go to the media site and watch the expanded screen view.. Good stuff !! :pop:pop

How do I get the giant "GT" logo'd pullover that guy working on the car wore?
 
Is the rear fascia carbon fiber too? Looks like it from the video.
 
^^^^ I thought all is CF?

Wow just watched that vid what felt like frame by frame, several times. Suspension (of course, but street oriented) looks like the race car, especially the rocker. Other things I noticed, green tape highlights the air inlets that take the air thriugh the buttresses, from the intercoolers to the plenum. Silicone hoses, billet pullies on engine. Man so much to look at. Just a couple hours in the autoclave, and CNC....... Amazing

Fascias are typically plastic, no?

Lots of interesting details in the video as you point out. Mmmmmmm
 
But this isn't a "typical" car...., right? Oh I've watched at least 15 times pausing every second or so. I need help.....

Sound like you need an intervention. Where is your (decidedly) better half?
 
Sitting next to me. Luckily not giving me much crap.
 
Is your video streaming on a giant OLED? Mine is streaming on a giant OLED.
 
Nope, crappy old iPad, that won't zoom. Watching tv too.
 
Hardware uncovered from the video : 1= this is a CF air shroud that feeds air directly into an external oil cooler located in the right rear fender pod. 2= are the oil lines going to and from the cooler. 3= Do you remember they added a NACA duct to the wheel side tunnel area ? It will feed air directly to the oil cooler. It has a electric fan on the back side to aid cooling in low air flow conditions. For reference all of this is going on behind the air to air charge intercooler..

It's all CF.
 
More from the video: 1 & 2 are the Transmission coolers located in the left rear fender pod. One cooler for the Gear oil one cooler for the clutch fluid. They draw air from the NACA duct in the left side tunnel and direct it via a CF shroud directly to the two coolers. You can see the auxiliary elct. fan located on the back side that will draw air thru the system during low air flow conditions...

Another thought I had, was those are the fans that were audible at lemans on the street car.

good question . I wasn't around it when it was running. If the sound came from the rear I would say it was one of the two , probably the oil cooler if the car was sitting idle for a while. heat load from engine and turbo's probably not much load on the tranny coolers
 
Is there a trick to getting this video to play? (need to be signed in to facebook?)
