1. DropTop - where did you get the knock-off kit? Ebay? If so - who? Also, how was the fitment?

2. Is this baby gonna be ready for the 30th? I demand some passenger seat time!

Yeah i got the knock off kit off ebay! I couldnt let myself buy a origin or version select kit because i know im just going to ruin this thing As for fittment i will tell you and post pics monday night! I have been waiting for a while for this kit to come! And the car should be running by hopefully by the end of june!!! I got to cut weld up a hot and down pipe then do a real lot of tuning! And you say you want some passenger time eh? No problem! I myself is kind of scared to drive this thing! Every car ive seen with this type of motor build can spin the tires on the highway just from downshifting and pushing it!!! it should be very interesting!

So i havent been on here in a while and since my last post on here my convertible build has progressed! During my absence i have also made some changes on the build and took the vehicles direction to be mostly for drifting. Gone is the laggy gt35r and in is a faster spooling but still 500hp friendly gt3076r. Well heres some pics guys and let me know what you think!

Not a big SR guy, but looking good! When you say "race vert" do you mean race only? Or a weekend/street car?? I'm diggin the setup though! Just kinda curious about your plans for that vert.

If it's a race only car, do you mind me asking why you chose a vert instead of a coupe?
