I'd like to see someting ultra modern looking on par with the looks of this newest round of supercars (918, P1, etc) . I think this would do :thumbsup:

:chug: When I first heard the Apex would use the 4g63, I thought I would never be able to fully understand that engine. As someone who is used to bolt on parts, it was more than a little intimidating learning the ins and outs of a turbo 4. After a lot of researching, I feel pretty comfortable...

Let me preface this by saying that I was very resistant to the idea of using the 4g63 at first. I have now gained a great respect for it and truly do look forward to using it in my Apex down the road. That being said, why exactly do DSMs have such a bad rap when it comes to reliability? I...

Nice setup. Can you post the details on your built head?

I'm a fellow JK owner, Justin. Sure you don't want to spring for the 4BT? :D Jeep Wrangler Diesel Conversion

Well that's disappointing. Apparently, there will be 6 SLCs there. Wouldn't have minded if there were only 5 SLCs and 1 Apex :D Why the change of plans? Is the kit not ready? Any idea when you'll be completing your Apex? Regardless, I look forward to seeing your SLC! Enjoy Charlotte!

The Charlotte auto fair is is less than a month away and Martin Motorsports is suppossed to have their Apex completed and on display there. If nothing else, hopefully they will have something to show. I was hoping they'd be more active in their build page though...

I knew it was on the front. Not quite sure why this discussion threw me for such a loop :huh: That being said, ignore my earlier assanine comment as I was apparently, the only one to not know this... :laugh:

Now I'm confused so time for a stupid question. Fran, Does this mean that the exhaust mani/turbo will be between the cabin and engine using the 4g63? Or between the rear and the engine? It makes it sound like it will be between the cabin and engine. But I took your comment to mean the...

I'm so happy to read this that I won't even brag about being the only one who seemed to know this haha :lipsrsealed: this makes the exhaust routing and intercooler setup so much easier

Huge fail on my part. Some of the early illustrations showed what looked like the exhaust mani between the engine and the rear so I didn't even think about needing to rotate the engine from the eclipse's front application :embarassed:

I may be missing something here but with the 4g63, I'm pretty certain that the exhaust mani/turbo will be between the engine and the rear of the car (not the cabin). It seems like you could run a very short, unrestricted exhaust if you wanted. Additionally, I plan to have one of the lower side...

Same with me!! What are your plans for your build? Engine choice, etc.

I would love something like the Agera. Or maybe like this???

No offense but I could not disagree more. You're telling me that you have not learned/enjoyed anything in the last 20 pages of this thread? Sure, the Apex isn't ready. But half the fun is dreaming/planning/continually modifying your build in anticipation of starting the actual build and...

Just to keep things alive I'm pretty excited about incorporating the Racelogic TC. Used in the Gumperts and the early Koenigseggigseggigseggs. $1500 well spent for the high hp builds. It gets a little attention in this TG clip. I know it's hit or miss but I love(d) Gumpert. Top Gear -...

I was literally JUST about to revive the thread when you posted this haha

I have no history with them either but my thoughts... I would not go with a flood car. Other than possible electoronic issues, even if you register it as a kit car but have the factory vin on the car, wouldn't someone still be able to look up the vin and see that it had a flawed title. Even...

I like the bottom right the best but the bottom left has me intrigued.

Very cool! Got any more renderings hidden away? Your PS skills are incredible Are you thinking of going with white?
